when somebody develops cancer the first
question that they're going to ask is
hey Doc why did I get the cancer
actually the more important question
from my perspective is how come we don't
get cancer more often and once you
realize that the body actually has its
own way of battling cancer and keeping
it a b suddenly if you're like me and
you've been touched by cancer in your
life somehow whether it's a friend a
relative colleague and maybe yourself
then you're going to want to actually
watch this video to the very end okay
cuz want to give you some practical tips
on each of these foods and how they can
actually help you lower your risk of
cancer ready let's dive in the first
food that I want to talk about that can
lower your risk of cancer are walnuts
that's right walnuts tree nut now I
personally love walnuts that come in
halves right um if you're already out of
the shell and each of the half um looks
like a wing that's how you to always
think about walnuts
I'm going to tell you what's in a walnut
why it's useful for cancer fighting and
then if you like to eat Walnuts I'm
going to tell you how I actually uh use
them for my own food but let's first
talk about cancer all right I'm a cancer
researcher I'm a physician uh I have
cancer patients I've diagnosed cancer
and many people over my career so I want
to actually tell you a little bit about
the biology of cancer and because if you
understand what we now know about cancer
it'll give you a clue on how we can
actually use food to fight it all right
now cancer is a dreaded disease and it
deserves uh the fear that it actually
evokes because it's one of those
conditions that tends to sneak up on us
and then suddenly you've got a diagnosis
then you undergo this uh sort of pipe of
treatment that involves chemotherapy no
wonder it's actually dreaded okay but
things are actually changing quite
dramatically
because we're now realizing that cancer
is uh a condition that we probably form
all the time in our bodies and we just
don't even know it and you see because a
tumor is made out of cancer cells and
cancer cells are basically regular cells
that have undergone a mutation all right
so a normal cell undergos a mutation and
now it's an abnormal cell and the issue
is this our body is made out of
trillions of cells trillions about 40
trillions and all these cells have to be
copy and pasted duplicated perfectly all
the time and that's basically why we're
still here today compared to yesterday
and while we're still going to be around
tomorrow compared to today our cells are
copied over and over and over that's
part of being alive all right and
copying cells is really really
complicated good thing our body knows
how to do that pretty well but it's not
perfect
our body doesn't actually copy all of
our cells exactly perfectly let me talk
to about copying in Perfection all right
so imagine I were to give you a sentence
and ask you to type it on a word
processor or laptop 10 times all right
you'll probably do all 10 uh copies of
my sentence perfectly all right that's
what I would
expect um now if I were to ask you to uh
copy it a hundred times
all right you're going to be making some
mistakes I bet you make one or two
mistakes in a sentence all right now
imagine I would asked you to copy it 40
trillion times because that's how many
times our body has to copy our cells we
get 40 trillion cells we got a copy 40
trillion cells and now for sure whether
it's you or your body trying to make
that many copies mistakes are going to
be made and every mistake when you make
a copy of a cell turns out to be a
mutation
all right now do you know how many
mutations or how many mistakes your body
makes every single day out of 40
trillion copy and paste take a guess
what do you
think the answer actually is
10,000 mistakes are made every day
10,000 it sounds like a lot but actually
it's very few compared to 40 trillion
body is pretty good actually but those
10,000 mistakes that are made each one
of those mistakes can become a
microscopic cancer because cancers begin
as mutations abnormal cells and when
those abnormal cells kind of grow they
become microscopic cancers now why do I
call them microscopic cancers and what
does that mean microscopic compared to
what well I call it microscopic cancer
compared to a clinical cancer a clinical
cancer is what a mamogram detects when
you actually see an abnormal uh part
part of the picture of the mammogram or
maybe a woman feels a lump in her breast
uh a clinical cancer is actually when
you've got bleeding in a toilet ball and
it's a colon cancer that's bleeding or
maybe You' see a colon cancer in a
colonoscopy clinical cancer is actually
when you do a skin of your body and
you've got um a tumor in your liver all
right but that's a clinical cancer a
microscopic cancer is one of these tiny
little tiny tiny tiny tumor all right
made out of abnormal mutated cells that
is so small it's just a few millimeters
in diameter kind of about the size of
the tip of a ballpoint pen all right and
a tumor that size is basically can form
all the time like a pimple on your back
right so if you got a pimple on your
back you might not know it if you had a
pimple on your face probably would see
it it would bug you probably go away or
you might decide to treat it but we form
pimples in our backs all the time we
don't look at our back so we don't know
it's there and her body will kind of
resolve the pimple it'll kind of go away
by itself and that's actually what
happens to these microscopic cancers
that are present and growing all the
time in our bodies all right now if
they're growing in our bodies these
microscopic cancers because of copypaste
errors that occur every single day
10,000 errors are every day now not
everyone's going to turn into a
microscopic cancer but some of them will
what actually happens well they sit
there and they try to grow they can only
grow to 2 to 3 millim in diameter that's
about the size of the tip of a ballpoint
Bend then they are frozen and can't get
bigger you know why because they don't
have a blood supply no blood vessels are
feeding a cancer like that reason that
no blood vessels are feeding cancer like
that because our body has a natural
defense system it's called the
angiogenesis defense system that helps
our healthy tissues grow blood vessels
and get a circulation and keeps disease
tissues like that microscopic tumor from
developing a blood supply all right so
that's our one of our health defenses I
read about it in my book e to be disease
I teach about this health defense system
and the foods I can activate it um in
the online course I teach called e
disease course that I gave you know uh
every couple of months but here's a key
thing your body does a good job to hold
that microscopic tumor in check then
another one of your defense defense
systems your immune system will have
immune cells that Wing by they conduct
they're conducting surveillance all the
time these immune cells are in our
bodies and they Wing by that uh
microscopic cancer they see it it's kind
of like seeing a drug dealer on the
corner of a peaceful neighborhood
shouldn't be there right so what does a
cop do the police will actually
interrogate the weird looking guy the
suspicious looking guy and if they think
they're suspicious enough you're going
to throw them in the back of the Patty
wagon and take them away cleaning up the
neighborhood and that's exactly what
your uh immune system does okay so the
body is actually preventing blood
vessels from growing to feed the cancer
so it's stuck at 1 millimeter now your
uh surveillance system the immune system
Wings by spots this abnormal microscopic
cancer says hey wait a minute let's go
check this out find out that it's a
microscopic cancer and then what they do
is actually then destroy the cancer take
it away destroy it okay and that's why
despite the 10,000 mistakes that our
body makes in copying and pasting our
DNA every single day that's why we don't
develop cancer more often now you you
know when when somebody develops cancer
the first question that they're going to
ask is hey Doc why did I get the cancer
and you know sometimes there's an answer
smoking family history you know um all
kinds of things that are highrisk Fus or
cancer but actually the more important
question from my perspective is how come
we don't get cancer more often and
that's because of our body's Health
defense systems that keep the cancer at
Bay and once you realize that the body
actually has its own way of battling
cancer and keeping it a bay suddenly it
actually opens the idea that maybe
there's another way that we can actually
use diet and lifestyle to amp up okay to
shore up our body's Health Natural
Health defenses against cancer right
right now notice I didn't talk about
chemotherapy at all that's even part of
the equation here okay now this whole
issue about microscopic cancers how do
we know they exist well I'm all about
evidence so I'll tell you that this has
been established in autopsy studies of
people who died of um not cancer right
so they might have died in uh automobile
accidents or trauma um uh some other
cause and um some people undergo an
autopsy and what the Pathologists who
conduct these autopsies do is they go
check every single tissue including
breast and prostate and thyroid and this
is where the discoveries were made
because autopsy studies of women who
didn't die of cancer but other causes
these autopsy women's women have shown
that 40% 40% of women between the ages
of 40s and 50 all right already have
microscopic cancers in their breast most
of these women will never be bothered by
breast cancer those tiny little cancers
because they're just microscopic and
their immune systems will take care of
it but some of them will go on to
develop cancer but that's a key thing
40% of women in their 40s who have no
cancer no evident of cancer that's no
clinical cancer they already have these
microscopic cancers and that's partly
how we know that what I just told you
earlier about the copy paste and
mistakes that's how we know that occurs
these microscopic cancers hey there I've
got something important to share with
you and that is my guide to the three
healthy foods that you might want to
avoid if you're looking for
longevity many products that are
marketed as nutritious can actually
undermine your health and if you want to
find out more about these sneaky
ingredients and how to make better
choices then just click on the link
below the video for all the details it's
very important to know what's really in
your food and this resource that I'm
giving you gives you a head start get it
right now for free in the description
below or you can access the guy by
scanning the QR code on the screen with
your
smartphone now let's jump back into the
video My Mentor Dr Judah fulin once
wrote an EP an editorial about this
called cancer without disease sounds
kind of weird right sounds like a
contradiction in terms but nope this is
actually how it is we have cancer
without disease now here's another um
study autopsy studies of men in their
50s
have shown that 50% of these men have
microscopic cancers in their prostate
but most of them are going to develop
clinical prostate cancer why because
even though those microscopic cancers
are there immune system will actually
Wing by spot them and take them out
right so basically your body prevents
blood vessels from growing keeps them
small by the way I got to tell you
research I've done in the lab um and
that lab has actually shown that if you
actually take a tumor and you prevent
blood vessels from Ever Getting to it
can't grow more than 2 or 3 millimet in
diameter again that's about the size of
the tip of a ball po pen super tiny but
once you allow blood vessels to touch
that cancer to feed it bring it oxygen
and bring it nutrients guess what in the
lab we've shown that that's enough to
grow that tumor
16,000 times in just two weeks all right
so androgenesis tumor androgenesis
abnormal blood vessels growing towards
the blood vessels angio is blood blood
vessels Genesis how they grow our body's
Health defense controls all of our
healthy blood vessels but occasionally a
cancer will be able to hijack that
system and grow blood vessels it'll grow
16,000 times in two weeks all right
that's why Andre Genesis is a trigger
for tumor growth but as long as your
body can actually keep it small cut off
the blood supply then our immune system
Wings by and takes them out and that's
why the 40% of women in their 40s or the
50% of men in their 50s that's why their
own health defenses protects them
against those microscopic cancers and
their breast and the prostate are't ever
growing up all right and there's another
study it's an autopsy study of people 70
years and older and what that study
showed is that 100% of people above the
age of 70 have microscopic cancers in
their thyroid gland now the thyroid
gland is kind of just in your neck a
little uh below just above sort of like
the uh the the the sternum all right uh
and uh it's a it's a endocrine gland it
releases thyroid hormone but um as you
get older uh thyroid cancer is really
really common but actually it won't
become a clinical cancer won't be a
problem so all these things were
discovered accidentally during autopsy
studies and it just shows how common
cancer actually is in the body cancer
without disease our body having Health
defenses that actually knock out and
take away these Cancers and keep them
from ever growing and becoming a problem
and that's why we're actually healthy
right so most people don't develop
clinical cancers but because of these
Health defenses but if any of these
Health defenses fail all right then it
gives cancer and Edge a chance to
actually overcome the blood vessel
system and grow their own blood vessels
overcome the immune system escape the
immune system and if you actually have
inflammation around inflammation is kind
of like um pouring gasoline onto the
Embers of a fire it's going to cause it
to rear right up and start to actually
become very ferocious and fearsome right
so what do we want to do when it comes
to food for cancer prevention well what
we want to do is to shore up ramp up
okay activate our body's heal defenses
so whats already pretty good let's make
it better let's raise the shields all
right every little Edge bit of edge that
we can get and our health defenses helps
to beat back cancer and if you actually
are somebody who's already struggling
with cancer now you really need your
health defenses because they are pushing
back against a disease every single
moment of your life all right so one of
the things that you want to do is to
lower inflammation remember I told you
inflammation is like gasoline that you
put on the Embers of a fire boo whoosh
it's G to actually go way up so you got
to lower inflammation right so that's a
super super important thing and you also
want to raise your immune system so
you've got better surveillance more
immune cells can see that cancer and
start to take them out and by the way
here's another thing you want to do
remember I told you that the copypaste
problem in our body well that's actually
what leads to the formation of these
microscopic cancers due to mutations
remember and mutations are errors of our
DNA that's a m genetic mutation and so
our body has its own ways to prevent
mutations in our DNA or to fix the
mutations that already occurred
that's our DNA Health defense and again
I write that I write all about that a
whole chapter in my book Eat to beat
disease all right um preventing cancers
from being fed by blood vessels starving
a tumor by cutting up its blood supply
um uh and by the way there's another
thing if you can actually wipe out
cancer stem cells let me explain that to
you our body is made out of different
organs and our organs are sort of
differentiated meaning fully formed
cells right your liver is fully formed
your heart was fully formed but your
body has the ability to renew uh and and
replenish the cells using stem cells you
probably heard of stem cells through
regenerative medicine you know um uh but
this is actually real so stem cells can
kind of rebuild tissues now normal
healthy organs have stem cells right and
our stem cells our healthy stum cells
can rebuild this but cancer is very very
sneaky so tumors can have their own
cancer stem cells and these cancer stem
cells if um help to regenerate the
cancer if you actually cut it out or
treat it all right and that's when you
hear people saying oh they had cancer
come back well it's the stem cells that
actually help them regrow and establish
themselves that's what recurrence of
cancer is all about all right so all
those things that I told you you want to
do you want to kill cancer stem cells
you want to cut up the blood supply
feeding a cancer you want to help your
body repair the DNA you want to lower
the inflammation and you want to boost
the immune system all right guess what
food can actually help to do all those
things you guessed it walnuts all right
walnuts can actually help amp up your
body's Health defenses so that you can
actually protect yourself uh against
cancer right so it lowers a risk walet
fits the bill as a cancer defense system
now what's in a walnut so walnuts are a
source of plant-based omega-3 fatty
acids these are healthy fats and guess
what healthy fasts do well one thing
they do is they improve the power of
your immune cells these cells are called
tea cells all right they're just part of
our immune system we need those tea
cells to wipe out cancer and eating
wonut gives our tea cells a real boost
all right um kind of arms them up big
time now walnuts also contain
uh a natural bioactive a polyphenol
called elianin all right it's not just
one molecule it's a group of molecules
elit tanins all right and these
compounds when we eat a walnut these
compounds get into a bloodstream and
they can help cut off the blood supply
but these elit tanins also partly tumble
down our gut right into our colon where
our gut bacteria actually is and where
our healthy gut bacteria lives all right
um the gut bacteria convert the uh elit
tanins and walnuts into something called
urolithin Ur l i t h i ns urethans all
right and guess what those urethans get
back into our bloodstream they've got
strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
effects protects your DNA by antioxidant
and protects prevents cancer from
flaring up by lowering inflammation all
right and that's just from um the
omega-3 and the elit tanins now
how do we know this works well it's been
studied in human research and studies
conducted by researchers at Marshall
University looked at uh people who ate
wuts and they looked at the risk of
breast cancer all right so here's what
they did um these are women they
enrolled into the study who are already
getting a biopsy because they they
there's a suspicion they've got breast
cancer right maybe it's abnormal
mamogram maybe it's a lump that they
felt and so these are women who were
already getting a biopsy now one group
group actually were given they divided
the group into two one group actually
got 2 ounces of walnuts a day for two
weeks all right leading up to their
biopsy and the other group didn't get
any walnuts all right so it's walnuts
versus no walnuts and what happens when
the researchers looked the biopsy so
don't forget they got the wnet a couple
of weeks before the biopsy and when the
researchers looked at the breast tissue
from the uh people who were eating
walnuts the Walnut eaters they did find
the cancer but they found gene
expression all right uh uh related to
tumor growth and the wet eaters had more
DNA protective genes uh that Turn Down
Cancer cell growth in their breast in
their breast biopsy all right and the
researchers found that the walant eaters
had genes for cancer cell growth the
genes that would actually spark the
cancer cell to grow they were turned
down right well by eating walnuts so
eating walnuts turn down the genes that
drive cancer cell growth and at the same
time the same researchers found that
eating walnuts in those People Protected
um against cancer by turning on
anti-cancer genes genes that actually um
are designed to actually combat cancer
so Shields up beating back cancer genes
are on and uh the genes for fueling
cancer growth go down everything in the
right direction all right now there was
another study that looked at 76,000
women this was called the nurses health
study and this study actually looked at
women who were consuming walnuts
regularly and they found that women who
regularly ate wets like just part of
their routine diet they had a 19% lower
risk of developing breast cancer all
right compared to people women who
rarely or never ate wuts all right now
the study the researchers thought about
you know this the effect the protective
effect of WS um due to they said
probably due to the high level of
Omega-3s all right but I can tell you
based on what my research shows that
it's not just the Omega-3s it's the
dietary fiber it is the anti- agrogenic
effects of the elit tanins it is the
anti-inflammatory effects of the
Omega-3s everything works together to
lower risk and that's where you know the
the the concepts which are found true in
the lab can apply to people in large
clinical studies and observational
studies as well just taking a look at
does it work in people and it seems like
it does one more thing about walnuts
guess what walnuts actually have a
substance that can kill cancer stem
cells those are those pesky cells I told
you about that have help the cancer come
back the baby cancer cells Well w eating
walnuts actually um has a substance that
kills the cancer stem cells so the
cancer won't come back this has been
studied um in a lab as well as in people
with colorectal cancer all right now I'm
telling you there's like a study of 700
people with colon cancer stage three
colon cancer they were getting their
regular treatments and it showed that
those people who actually were eating
regularly a fist full of walnuts uh tree
nuts like walnuts a couple of times a
week they had like a 50% lower risk of
dying from their colon cancer so this
isn't you know walnuts being the chemo
it's actually adding walnuts to boost
the health defenses while you're getting
regular treatment all right and this is
a study done with all the major medical
centers around uh the country you know
like Duke and Harvard and um MD Anderson
all these like really really prestigious
medical centers uh uh looked at this
event and they actually published it and
presented it um at the American Society
for clinical oncology so this is
actually in front of a
mainstream uh audience of cancer uh
researchers as well all right so walnuts
good now how do iate walnuts there's a
lot of different ways and I thought I
would share some of them with you so
first of all for any kind of tree nut
but also walnuts um I like to I like to
roast them lightly in order to bring out
their flavor right um so the way to do
it is you uh get bulk walnuts now I
specifically look for ones that are just
like the wings are like Walnut halves or
the wings the half wings I don't like
them when they're kind of like are pre
crushed up already I'll do the crushing
thank you very much all right so I get
the walnuts that are you know as intact
as possible
you stick them on a cast iron pan you
don't need any oil at all you just put
the cast iron pan on top of the range
all right if you've got gas like um turn
it on on low all right you want to heat
the pan you don't want to you're not
cooking the walnuts you're getting the
the pan hot and you're moving you're
going to be holding the handle of the
pot move it back and forth and back and
forth all right and now the walnuts are
shaking around you're going to toast up
the walnuts that way you can start
smelling their flavor after you know a
couple minutes um and stop before they
burn so as soon as you kind of get that
nice fragrance and they're kind of
crisped up all right uh I I literally
just like turn off the flame take them
off the flame pour them off onto a plate
let them cool down all right and once
you're cool you can crush them up and
now you got these crushed up toasted
walnuts I love that sprinkle it over
your yogurt or sprinkle some in your
oatmeal you're taking yogurt which is a
probiotic food or oatmeal which actually
has got huge amounts of dietary fiber
and useful bioactives for gut microbiome
all right to lower inflammation uh and
speed up healing now you can sprinkle
some walnuts on top of it and now you've
actually added a cancer preventative
substance on top of something that's
already good for gut health and good for
heart health and now you've got good for
cancer Health as well now by the way um
if you want to actually aim towards
longevity this is a great way to do it
because for example yogurt has been
shown to improve longevity and now you
can actually add sprinkle a little bit
of anti cancer or cancer fighting food
right on top of that works well together
from a taste and flavor perspective I
would probably cut up a little bit of
fruit on top of that just to give the
walnuts and fruits um some Flavor now if
you say what would be a good fruit with
walnuts I always like fresh food
especially whatever it's in season um
you know but apples and walnuts work
together uh I kind of think of walnuts
as an a fall so doesn't have to be fresh
you could take dried cranberries dried
blueberries and walnuts those are all
all uh good combinations that you can
actually put together right an open an
oatmeal Itself by the way can uh reduce
cancer risk because oatmeal contains
substances that are naturally
anti-inflammatory put out that fire all
right okay another way that I actually
like to use walnuts as in a pesto now
you probably have had pesto before if
you like Italian food right like like
the real original pesto is super simple
it is extra virgin olive oil it's garlic
it's basil leaves uh and it's pine nuts
and you literally go into a mortar and
pestel and grind that into a paste all
right mix it all together it smells
great and then if you cook some pasta um
I like to use trophy which is very t r
fi e which is original type of of shape
of pasta where pesta was developed in
liua you take a dollop of that pesto you
just made and throw it onto the trophy
mix it around m amazing that's because
it's got full it's full of healthy
ingredients the extra virgin olive oil
the basil the pine nuts the garlic all
good for you all right but instead of
adding pine nuts all right which I also
love pine nuts um try adding crushed
walnuts crushed toasted walnuts instead
now you've got a walnut pesto um and by
the way there are different kinds of
Walnut pesto out there if you want to
look around for them but you can make
your own all right and that's a great
way delicious way to be able to get uh
uh walnuts into your diet uh as a way
that you might not naturally think of
right so and by the way if you're going
to actually make a pasta with Walnut
pesto I suggest a organic whole wheat
pasta all right uh it's a little brown
little nuttier little bit more
nutritious as well and it's got those
bioactives in the whole grain better
dietary fiber now you add what we just
talked about Walnut pesto on top of that
man you've got a a basically a
vegetarian dish all right um uh that
lights up all your body's Health
defenses you want to put some uh uh
ground cheese like parmesan origino
cheese ground bedano like you actually
grind it up in there that's another
component of a traditional pesto you can
do that too if you eat dairy dairy is
not bad in in certain in a small amount
that's a way of actually really lighting
it up uh as well all right now crushed
walnuts I can I talked about the yogurt
I talked about the pasta you can
sprinkle them on the salad as well all
right that's super super easy so one nut
lots of different benefits through lots
of different mechanisms many ways to
enjoy it green tea now green tea
contains kakin that have been shown to
lower the risk of colon cancer stomach
cancer esophageal cancer cancers are the
gut actually because you're sipping the
green tea and it's flowing down uh and
touching your entire GI tract now what's
in green tea something called kakin
specifically EG CG all right Edward
George Charlie George and this is
actually something that I've studied um
I'm a researcher uh I have actually
studied food as medicine in the lab
specifically green tea and I can tell
you that this is a natural chemical
found in tea leaves um that when you
brew a cup of tea the egcg comes out uh
into the liquid so whether you actually
have tea bags you have loose tea uh
leaves uh or you have some powdered tea
which is another form of getting it and
whether it is uh green tea whether it's
matcha you're all getting this kakin
into your system so what does egcg do in
the body well something quite amazing uh
drinking tea has been shown by cancer
researchers to lower inflammation which
is of course uh one of the drivers for
cancer green tea also boosts the immune
system now we all have cancers growing
inside our body it's a natural part of
being alive uh when our cells divide uh
they make mistakes and each of those
tiny little mistakes is a microscopic
cancer but our immune system Wings by
finds that microscopic cancer and takes
it out like a sniper and so good strong
immunity is actually cancer fighting and
green tea actually does that as well
but the thing that I think is most
remarkable is that the cakin found in
green tea cut off the blood supply to
tumors now all tumors are harmless until
they actually get a blood supply and
this is a process called tumor
angiogenesis now our normal cells our
normal tissues have angiogenesis we need
them in order to be able to heal our
wounds but tumors hijack this process
okay and they actually feed themselves
to get oxygen and nutrients and when a
cancer does that that is actually what
allows tumors to actually grow wildly in
fact studies in the lab have shown that
without a blood supply tumors can't grow
Beyond about 2 millimeters in diameter
that's the size of the tip of a
ballpoint pen but the moment blood
vessels can actually grow up and touch
that tumor and feed it that tumor can
grow
16,000 times in just two weeks time all
right so Andro Genesis which is normal
for healing good for our body when
tumors hijack it it the the oxygen and
nutrients allow the cancer to explode in
growth so tea containing the cakin cuts
off the blood supply prevents tumor
angiogenesis and that is one of the most
powerful and important ways that green
tea can actually be beneficial now I
like to drink green tea um every day in
fact I have a cup of it right here
walk the walk and um I find it really
relaxing uh I drink green tea uh all
throughout the day especially in the
evening um but green tea actually is
something that uh is goes back tens of
thousands of years if you look at Asia
uh tea bushes tea plants naturally grew
there uh and they are handpicked they
are dried Under the Sun they are lightly
roasted over fire and then the process
takes off in order to be able to um
convert them into different types of tea
you mix them with Jasmine flowers for
jasmine tea you grind it into a powder
to make matcha um you roast it deeper
and um in order to be able to create
black teas which are also beneficial for
your health by the way not just green
but black is also good somewhere in
between is uh oong tea it's kind of a
medium tea and then you can ferment tea
it's called po beautiful tea but let's
start with let's stick with green tea
for a second green tea has these
anti-cancer benefits so one of the
questions is how much how do you
actually make the green tea uh and how
much should you drink well listen I like
using loose slea tea you can actually
Brew it in a pot with hot water don't
ever drink um a tea with a boiling water
you just put in there that actually do
that scaling liquid has been shown to
increase the risk of of cancer because
you're injuring the esophagus so do not
do that let the tea cool down and
actually it takes that time of cooling
down to also steep out the cakin that's
a little uh tip for you and if you're
using a tea bag you want to dunk the tea
bag all right uh in order to be able to
shake out those cakin into the liquid
when it actually is uh uh uh cool enough
to be able to sip comfortably then sip
it two to three cups of tea a day
actually has been shown to be benefit
icial for many different um types of
conditions but the most important thing
that I like is that it tastes great and
it's actually relaxing okay next food
we're going to talk about is Brasa Brasa
is a type of vegetable it's a class
group of vegetables in contains broccoli
cauliflower bok choy uh it's a green
vegetable that you can sauté uh common
in many different types of cultures uh
you find it in Mediterranean you find it
in Asia and what's actually in these
barasa vegetables are sorines these are
another natural chemical and these
sorines what do they do they boost the
immune system right good strong immune
system knocks out microscopic cancers uh
also lowers inflammation inflammation is
like the gasoline on a fire making the
cancer grow hotter and faster when you
actually uh calm inflammation
you're putting out the fire all right
and actually that is very helpful when
you want to fight cancer the other thing
uh that uh uh the the Brasa does it
actually contains the sorines that
actually are anti-angiogenic they starve
the cancer by cutting off the blood
supply and this has also been shown um
with uh uh broccoli for example now
here's something really interesting this
is a pro tip the grownup broccoli is not
just the Treetops that's what we used to
always eat when I was eating when I was
a kid your mom always told you eat those
Treet tops okay and the Treetops do have
the sophanes but it turns out that the
stock the long stem of a broccoli
broccoli is actually mostly a stem it's
like a tall tree with uh some Treet Tops
on it the Treet tops have the sorane but
the stock has twice as much of the good
stuff so if you're actually cooking
broccoli um cook this cook the tree tops
uh the fettes is what they call them but
also save that stem stem if you slice it
in a diagonal and sauté absolutely
delicious you'll find it in a lot of
Asian dishes that way if you don't want
to sauté it you can actually just put
into a food processor and make a
broccoli soup you want to add a little
oregano in there it really mix of
broccoli oregano soup is actually
absolutely delicious I actually included
that uh broccoli oregano soup recipe uh
in my book Eat to beat disease uh if
you're actually interested uh in it
processed Meats humans are designed to
eat meat if you look at the human tooth
all right and you can actually see that
the tooth has got some sharp edges for
cutting meat and it's got some um
crushing surfaces to eat plants we're
uniquely designed to be able to do this
regardless of what vegetarians or vegans
actually say the history and biology
teaches us that humans are actually
designed to eat meats and Seafoods all
right um
uh so the bottom line is that humans
have figured out from the very beginning
in in terms of eating meat how to make
Meats last longer right back a long time
ago uh if you found an animal and were
able to use its meat for food the meat
spoils pretty quickly so one of the
things that was uh done early on by
early man is to figure out how to
preserve that meat by curing by dry uh
drying by smoking or by packing it in
salt all right and this is what you see
when you go to the Mediterranean and
walk by a salaria or a cured meat shop
and you see all these hanging from the
ceiling sausages and hams um uh you know
in dry form well what happened is that
later on factories um uh developed food
factories uh and the natural way of
preserving Meats became too slow or too
expensive right so then Meats were
became preserved by adding chemical
preservatives right into it like
swimming pools of these preserves and
you just threw the meat in there um you
treat the meat with the chemical you get
a lot longer shelf life and the ability
to store the meat a lot longer not only
in the store but also in your home these
are processed meats and you know what
they are right the salamis the deli
meats by the way I learned uh recently
that the way that some of these uh
balnis for example uh or t sliced turkey
that you would actually get in a deli
how they're made is they have the
special uh Crusher that actually is able
to U pulverize the scraps um from animal
carcasses and turn it into these like
little meat shreds that then they add
meat glue to it and by adding meat glue
to the meat shreds you can mold it into
the big thick circular uh cylinders that
you actually see in a deli right come on
talk about Ultra processed foods that's
not something that is natural at all and
then you can add all kinds of chemicals
to it additives in order to be able to
preserve it for a lot longer now uh
Ultra processed foods we know are
associated with uh Health harms as I
told you earlier processed meats are
part of ultra processed foods but
there's one more thing processed Meats
have been classified as a class one
carcinogen by the World Health
Organization the wh what's a Class one
carcinogen well it means that there's
sufficient evidence in humans that
eating them can actually trigger cancer
sufficient evidence all right so that's
basically how you need to be thinking
about your deli meats now for processed
Meats the evidence really started uh
with the increased risk of coloral
cancer makes sense right you're eating
all these additives and preservatives
into your gut eventually your Colon's
going to get exposed to it and so
increased colon cancer risk is
definitely there but other forms of
cancer are also now linked to consuming
processed meat so the
solution am I telling you never to eat a
pepperoni pizza or a deli sub no once in
a while probably fine we're all human
we're all going to be eating stuff every
now and then and actually some of the
processed meats are quite tasty all
right I mean that if if you're not a
vegetarian or a vegan got to admit some
of these process Meats taste pretty good
and you might have grown up with it so
it's kind of a kind of a comfort food
all right but the key thing is that
every time you eat processed meat you
are increasing your risk to your health
all right um You are potentially
shortening your longevity every time
you're doing it all right so ultimately
if you pull the trigger enough in this
Russian Roulette you're eventually going
to get the Bullet to the Head all right
so the best approach is to cut down if
not cut out processed Meats eat it
rarely if ever at all and if you want to
treat yourself once in a while I'd
consider a a more traditionally cured
meat um uh that might even have some
healthy Omega-3s uh from plants for
example pruto deparma uh is coming from
pigs that's a kind of ham from from
Italy uh it's a ham made from pigs that
are fed acorns and those acorns contain
plant-based Omega-3s which are found in
the fat of the pig so the pruto the ham
that specific kind actually has some
beneficial fats to it it's got a lot of
saturated fat too but it's got some good
stuff Choose You know the less bad one
um and another one that is less bad are
the uh hamia Baro right this is the
Iberico ham from Spain because those
hams are made from pigs that eat
chestnuts and chestnuts contain all
kinds of bioactives like elic acid but
also contain um plant-based Omega-3
the Ala aminol levulinic acid so acorns
and chestnuts actually um give the pig
some of the healthy fats that get
Incorporated in the fat of the pig so
it's in the ham I'm not saying it's good
for you I'm saying it's less bad for you
and it's even got some of the benefits
to it point is whatever you do try to
avoid eating processed Meats do it
rarely treat yourself to a better
quality one all right hope you learned
something new with this and thanks very
much for watching and I will catch you
