"What we found is if a person has a higher intake of animal protein,
they will have a higher risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma," Zheng tells
Web. "And people who have a higher intake of saturated fat have
an increased risk. On the other hand, if you have higher-than-average
intake of dietary fiber -- particularly if you frequently eat vegetables
and fruits with a high fiber content -- you have a reduced risk of
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma."

The findings appear in the March 1 issue of the American Journal
of Epidemiology.

Earlier studies hinted at the same thing. Now, Zheng says, it
seems clear that a major factor in the mysterious rise of
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a diet high in meat, saturated fats,
dairy products, and eggs and low in fiber, fruits, and vegetables.

Unbalanced Diet, Unhealthy Body
...
... what is happening to the American is associated with a
number of malignancies such as breast, kidney, and colon
cancer. Higher body weight is a common theme."

A high-fat diet may indeed be linked to higher body weight.
But Zheng says that people eating low-carb diets may also
be at risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma if they eat too much
meat and too few vegetables.

One thing that's known about non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is
that people whose immune systems aren't working well --
such as AIDS patients -- are at increased risk. Zheng
suggests that immune function depends on proper nutrition.

"Your body is designed to repair things," Zheng says. "But
if your body is not getting proper nutrition, how can the
immune system continue to function? Everything relates to
the nutrients in your dietary intake."

Cancer-Fighting Foods

Zheng's study showed that people who ate more of certain
foods tended to have a lower risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Those foods include:

Tomatoes
Broccoli
Squash
Cauliflower
Onions
Mixed lettuce salad
Leeks
Apples
Pears
Citrus fruits

Improving your diet won't just lower your cancer risk,
Mueller notes.

"There is such a confluence between risk factors for cancer
and risk factors for heart disease," she says. "Get plenty of
exercise, eat a good diet, don't smoke. It is what your mother
told you. It's true that this is the basis of a healthy lifestyle.
And it's true that this lowers your risk for these big killers, too."

Wow! It's a good thaing that Atkins is a vegatable-rich, moderate
protein/low carbohydrate diet, emphasizing plenty of fiber-rich vegetables
like cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage! I feel sorry for those people
eating low-fat diets, consuming all that lean meat, thinking they're safe!
Now this study show that they're more likely to get cancer! Wow! And those
2-pound dieters eating 2 pounds of beef every day! Poor guys!

More confirmation that my low-carb way of eating is the healthiest of all;
thanks for posting this!

maybe you should do some research instead of just making assumptions.

I'm asking, even though I saw an in-depth documentary all about it.

Why don't you answer my questions in a civil manner instead of just
making assumptions?

How about those who eat a lot of vegetables (3-4 lbs per day) and a
lot of meat also. What are the findings regarding those people?

"What we found is if a person has a higher intake of animal protein,

A high-fat diet may indeed be linked to higher body weight.
But Zheng says that people eating low-carb diets may also
be at risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma if they eat too much
meat and too few vegetables.

merely a speculation at this point with no basis.

Your basis is this and other studies.

That adiposity, high blood sugars etc, cause cancer, is well known.

That meat has a direct effect, is not at all clear from this
correlation study.

Apparently, it is clear.

One thing that's known about non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is
that people whose immune systems aren't working well --
such as AIDS patients -- are at increased risk. Zheng
suggests that immune function depends on proper nutrition.

no kidding!

"Your body is designed to repair things," Zheng says. "But

Those foods include:

Tomatoes
Broccoli

Cauliflower
Onions
Mixed lettuce salad
Leeks
Apples
Pears
Citrus fruits

I do not think that these products and meat are mutually
exclusive. I eat a few pounds of that stuff per day, and a lot of
meat. That, based on common sense, is the healthiest diet.

That's not common sense, and based on research, it isn't.
