Slide 9 :
|
How Does Fiber Work To Prevent Cancer? Moves food quickly through the digestive tract.
Pulls in water.
Water and fiber make carcinogens more diluted.
Binds to Bile acids. |
|
|
Slide 10 :
|
Fiber and Breast Cancer Studies show that breast cancer is less common to those that have a diet high in fiber.
Estrogens
Normally secreted into the digestive tract.
High levels are associated with breast cancer.

Slide 11 :
|
Whole grains, beans, peas, lentils, vegetables, and fruits are the best sources of fiber.
Foods should also be closest to their natural state, which is unrefined and unpeeled, to have the highest amount of fiber.
They take 26 nutrients out of whole wheat to make white flour, but they only add 4 back. http://www.pcrm.org/health/Preventive_Medicine/foods_for_cancer_prevention.html |

Fat and Cancer Increases hormone production.
Stimulates bile acid production. The average American diet is about 37% fat.
Fat intake should be below 30% in order to prevent cancer. |
|
