The following program
presents principles designed
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.76
to promote good health
00:00:03.77\00:00:05.15
and is not
intended to take the place
00:00:05.16\00:00:06.62
of personalized
professional care.
00:00:06.63\00:00:09.27
The opinions and ideas
00:00:09.28\00:00:10.40

00:00:15.11\00:00:16.96
Hello, and welcome to
"Health for Lifetime,"
00:00:50.25\00:00:51.69
I'm your host Don Mackintosh
00:00:51.70\00:00:53.05
and I'm glad you join us today.
00:00:53.06\00:00:55.00
Today we're gonna be
talking about a very important
00:00:55.01\00:00:57.48
and somewhat troubling
subjects for many in America
00:00:57.49\00:01:00.66
and that is the
subject of cancer.
00:01:00.67\00:01:03.20
And many times
we'll even hear that word,
00:01:03.21\00:01:04.98
were kind of filled
with fright and worry
00:01:04.99\00:01:07.26
and all of us probably know
00:01:07.27\00:01:08.74
someone that is
struggling with cancer
00:01:08.75\00:01:10.92
and I would dare say that
all of us want to avoid it.
00:01:10.93\00:01:13.67
And so talking with us
00:01:13.68\00:01:15.14
about this important
subject is Dr. Timothy Lawton,
00:01:15.15\00:01:17.94
he is a physician in Wichita,
Kansas and Wichita, Kansas
00:01:17.95\00:01:22.78
is just like any
other city in America,
00:01:22.79\00:01:24.43
it has a lot of
people that have cancer
00:01:24.44\00:01:27.08
and a lot of other
lifestyle problems.
00:01:27.09\00:01:29.60
And Dr. Lawton has started
00:01:29.61\00:01:31.83
a life style
medicine centre there
00:01:31.84\00:01:34.56
called the Vitae
which means life.
00:01:34.57\00:01:36.80
And he gives advise
00:01:36.81\00:01:38.34
and all kinds of
America's killer diseases
00:01:38.35\00:01:41.29
and also including
our topic today cancer.
00:01:41.30\00:01:44.47
Dr. Lawton, you told
me something that was,
00:01:44.48\00:01:46.35
by the way welcome to
the program. Thank you.
00:01:46.36\00:01:48.29
I'm glad that
you can take time out
00:01:48.30\00:01:49.58
of your busy schedule.
00:01:49.59\00:01:52.00
You told me something that
00:01:52.01\00:01:53.53
just really grip my attention.
00:01:53.54\00:01:55.03
You said that cancer
now is the number one cause
00:01:55.04\00:01:57.92
of death in America.
00:01:57.93\00:01:59.30
After decades and
decades of heart disease
00:01:59.31\00:02:01.39
being the number
one cause of death.
00:02:01.40\00:02:02.91
Cancer as of 2005
has stepped ahead,
00:02:02.92\00:02:05.98
at least for people
under the age of 85.
00:02:05.99\00:02:08.69
So if I'm a
woman or if I'm a man
00:02:08.70\00:02:11.12
is there any greater risk for.
00:02:11.13\00:02:13.24
The life time risk
00:02:13.25\00:02:15.57
or prevalence of
cancer is almost 50%.
00:02:15.58\00:02:18.64
It's 47% for men and
38% for women in America.
00:02:18.65\00:02:24.47
Wow! And I mean is it
00:02:24.48\00:02:27.55
because of all
kinds of new chemicals
00:02:27.56\00:02:29.25
what's the problem?
00:02:29.26\00:02:31.04
Well, we know there is being,
00:02:31.05\00:02:34.20
there got 75,000 new chemicals
00:02:34.21\00:02:36.57
registered with
the EPA since 1930's.
00:02:36.58\00:02:39.64
But we can't
blame just the chemicals
00:02:39.65\00:02:41.47
there is a lot
of lifestyle factors
00:02:41.48\00:02:43.10
that may be
even more significant
00:02:43.11\00:02:44.90
than the
carcinogens in the environment.
00:02:44.91\00:02:47.91
Now there has been
some elegant research done
00:02:47.92\00:02:51.66
on cancer and I think
00:02:51.67\00:02:52.70
you want to talk a
little bit about that.
00:02:52.71\00:02:55.67
There has been a landmark study
00:02:55.68\00:02:58.30
and I'll be sharing the details
00:02:58.31\00:03:00.24
of that in just a minute,
00:03:00.25\00:03:01.22
but this was published in 1997
00:03:01.23\00:03:03.68
looking at the accomplishment
of 4500 smaller studies
00:03:03.69\00:03:08.39
and they came up with about
00:03:08.40\00:03:09.43
10 lifestyle recommendations.
00:03:09.44\00:03:12.04
So this is for 4500 studies.
00:03:12.05\00:03:15.08
All is devised
down to 10 principles.
00:03:15.09\00:03:18.16
Yeah, Okay.
00:03:18.17\00:03:19.14
So tell us about this?
00:03:19.15\00:03:22.67
I use those principles
00:03:22.68\00:03:23.89
when I counsel patients
on lifestyle related cancers.
00:03:23.90\00:03:27.94
And one patient I'm
thinking of in particular Don.
00:03:27.95\00:03:31.04
He was a gentleman
around 50 years of age
00:03:31.05\00:03:33.51
and he was diagnosed
with prostate cancers
00:03:33.52\00:03:35.71
and he got treated
in the usual manner
00:03:35.72\00:03:38.18
and the doctor said
you're in remission.
00:03:38.19\00:03:40.08
Few months later he
came back to his doctor,
00:03:40.09\00:03:41.82
and like got
some rectal bleeding.
00:03:41.83\00:03:45.25
The doctor said
you need a colonoscopy.
00:03:45.26\00:03:48.58
Very typical.
00:03:48.59\00:03:49.77
Yeah and at age
50 it's recommended,
00:03:49.78\00:03:51.63
everyone have a colonoscopy
00:03:51.64\00:03:53.20
just as a
screening for colon cancer
00:03:53.21\00:03:55.82
which affects 1
out of 20 Americans.
00:03:55.83\00:03:58.59
Well, this guy was
like the 1 out of 20,
00:03:58.60\00:04:00.87
he had colon cancer
00:04:00.88\00:04:02.94
after supposedly
beating his prostate cancer.
00:04:02.95\00:04:07.54
Well, doctor said
okay we'll treat you
00:04:07.55\00:04:08.99
for the colon cancer.
00:04:09.00\00:04:09.97
So they went with the
usual treatment for that,
00:04:09.98\00:04:12.61
still though he
was in remission.
00:04:12.62\00:04:15.99
The doctor said
it's time you know,
00:04:16.00\00:04:19.35
you make peace with
the world with your maker
00:04:19.36\00:04:22.85
and you know,
get things in order.
00:04:22.86\00:04:27.21
He wasn't satisfied with that.
00:04:27.22\00:04:28.39
He wants to
know what he could do
00:04:28.40\00:04:30.15
to prevent any
kind of recurrence.
00:04:30.16\00:04:33.32
So we looked at
specifically the prostate cancer
00:04:33.33\00:04:36.05
and the colon cancer
00:04:36.06\00:04:37.03
and we looked at some
of the lifestyle principles
00:04:37.04\00:04:39.38
that were involved there.
00:04:39.39\00:04:41.01
So this
gentleman, he didn't smoke
00:04:41.02\00:04:42.41
so that was a good sign.
00:04:42.42\00:04:44.14
But lifestyle factors,
00:04:44.15\00:04:45.95
he wasn't any getting
any regular physical activity
00:04:45.96\00:04:48.79
and that makes a huge
difference with colon cancer.
00:04:48.80\00:04:51.55
Is that right so,
00:04:51.56\00:04:52.53
exercise actually
helps prevent colon cancer.
00:04:52.54\00:04:57.17
It's been proven soundly.
00:04:57.18\00:05:00.34
So what kind of exercise?
00:05:00.35\00:05:02.91
Well, it doesn't have...
regular moderate activity,
00:05:02.92\00:05:06.85
like a brisk walk most
days of at least 30 minutes
00:05:06.86\00:05:11.53
or 60 minutes is recommended.
00:05:11.54\00:05:14.15
So you're sharing with us
00:05:14.16\00:05:15.21
you know, things that
we could do to prevent.
00:05:15.22\00:05:16.94
But like in this particular
guy's case he actually had,
00:05:16.95\00:05:19.80
he went into remission
00:05:19.81\00:05:21.44
and these were
great things to do
00:05:21.45\00:05:24.53
to make sure it
didn't crop up again.
00:05:24.54\00:05:27.23
Right and then we also looked
at the dietary factor too.
00:05:27.24\00:05:29.57
He was eating a diet
00:05:29.58\00:05:31.14
that was typical
of many western diets,
00:05:31.15\00:05:34.12
very low in
fruits and vegetables
00:05:34.13\00:05:36.10
and low in
fiber and high in meat
00:05:36.11\00:05:37.99
and diary and those were factors
00:05:38.00\00:05:40.04
for prostate and colon cancer.
00:05:40.05\00:05:43.38
What about protein diets?
00:05:43.39\00:05:46.86
There is a lot of
high protein diets
00:05:46.87\00:05:48.94
out there right now. Right.
00:05:48.95\00:05:50.10
You remind me of
Dr. Colin Campbell.
00:05:50.11\00:05:52.58
He did a
significance amount of research
00:05:52.59\00:05:55.65
and published the
book of the China study.
00:05:55.66\00:05:58.49
And one of the
things that he looked out
00:05:58.50\00:06:00.87
was a carcinogen
called Aflatoxin. Aflatoxin.
00:06:00.88\00:06:05.25
Yeah Aflatoxin is the...
it's one of the too most potent
00:06:05.26\00:06:09.79
naturally occurring
carcinogens that we know.
00:06:09.80\00:06:12.84
It grows on mouldy
peanuts and mouldy corn.
00:06:12.85\00:06:15.29
Mouldy peanuts, okay.
00:06:15.30\00:06:18.43
So what he discovered in rats
00:06:18.44\00:06:22.81
and in humans
the more Aflatoxin,
00:06:22.82\00:06:25.76
when it's exposed to
the more liver cancer
00:06:25.77\00:06:29.04
one has subsequently though
again both in the laboratory
00:06:29.05\00:06:33.44
and then in human beings
00:06:33.45\00:06:35.43
high protein diets
00:06:35.44\00:06:37.22
specially diets high in casein
00:06:37.23\00:06:39.96
which is the
primary protein in diary.
00:06:39.97\00:06:43.98
Those tend to promote
the cancer in the liver.
00:06:43.99\00:06:47.69
Diets low in animal protein,
00:06:47.70\00:06:49.75
then the suppress
will prevent Aflatoxin
00:06:49.76\00:06:52.96
going onto to cause cancer.
00:06:52.97\00:06:54.62
Well, this is fascinating,
I mean in America today,
00:06:54.63\00:06:57.24
I mean diary is the big product
00:06:59.41\00:07:00.91
of our consumption, isn't it?
00:07:00.92\00:07:03.14
And growing too.
00:07:03.15\00:07:05.29
Now do you think that you know,
00:07:05.30\00:07:06.63
it's in the
study that the casein
00:07:06.64\00:07:09.26
or the protein
was actually turning
00:07:09.27\00:07:12.18
would you say
turning on the cancer,
00:07:12.19\00:07:14.14
turning off the cancer?
00:07:14.15\00:07:15.12
In the studies
in the rat studies
00:07:15.13\00:07:17.43
that Dr. Campbell presented,
00:07:17.44\00:07:21.06
the rats who had
a low protein diet.
00:07:21.07\00:07:22.95
5% protein had zero
cases of liver cancer
00:07:22.96\00:07:29.04
even though they were
exposed to the Aflatoxin.
00:07:29.05\00:07:31.94
Those rats were
eating the high protein diet
00:07:31.95\00:07:34.02
the 20% a 100% of these
rats ended up with liver cancer.
00:07:34.03\00:07:40.22
A 100% to 0% is
pretty convincing
00:07:40.23\00:07:43.94
and this also was true
in epidemiological studies.
00:07:43.95\00:07:48.36
He did some research overseas
00:07:48.37\00:07:52.09
in the Philippines with children
00:07:52.10\00:07:53.30
who are exposed
to the Aflatoxin.
00:07:53.31\00:07:55.35
So let me get to straight then,
00:07:55.36\00:07:56.81
if I live in a country
or have a family history
00:07:56.82\00:08:00.70
or what not of cancer,
00:08:00.71\00:08:05.18
protein specially
the protein found in milk
00:08:05.19\00:08:07.99
for cheese or diary.
00:08:08.00\00:08:09.88
I've to be very careful
about the amount that I get.
00:08:09.89\00:08:15.48
Don, you want to be
careful what you say here
00:08:15.49\00:08:18.43
because this is liver cancer
00:08:18.44\00:08:22.51
and this is one study. Okay.
00:08:22.52\00:08:24.92
But I think the
general principle
00:08:24.93\00:08:26.83
that Dr. Campbell wanted
people to know is that diet
00:08:26.84\00:08:30.78
choices are or least
can be even more important
00:08:30.79\00:08:34.89
than exposure to
carcinogens. Okay.
00:08:34.90\00:08:38.44
Let's talk then
about how to prevent this?
00:08:38.45\00:08:42.17
You want to help us
00:08:42.18\00:08:44.50
and we've seen the
magnitude of the problem,
00:08:44.51\00:08:46.81
how we can we be preventing?
00:08:46.82\00:08:48.66
Let's talk about
that study I mentioned,
00:08:48.67\00:08:50.35
we got a couple
of graphics on that.
00:08:50.36\00:08:53.11
The first thing the
most important thing is
00:08:53.12\00:08:56.38
choosing a diet is
predominantly plant-based,
00:08:56.39\00:09:01.64
plant-based, meaning
the fruits are coming
00:09:01.65\00:09:03.46
from plant sources
00:09:03.47\00:09:04.44
and they are minimally refined.
00:09:04.45\00:09:07.56
So you're getting
fruits in their whole forms
00:09:07.57\00:09:09.40
as they grew in nature.
00:09:09.41\00:09:11.05
So like the picture
says we eat the carrots,
00:09:11.06\00:09:13.41
we eat all the different colors.
00:09:13.42\00:09:17.29
The fruits, the vegetables,
00:09:17.30\00:09:19.20
the whole grains, the beans,
00:09:19.21\00:09:21.13
and the nuts goes with that,
00:09:21.14\00:09:23.48
the main fruits
that grow in nature.
00:09:23.49\00:09:25.01
So raw fruits.
00:09:25.02\00:09:27.19
You know the interesting thing
00:09:27.20\00:09:29.42
about raw fruits,
00:09:29.43\00:09:30.97
some nutrients are
more available to us
00:09:30.98\00:09:33.58
in the raw form,
00:09:33.59\00:09:34.82
some are more
available in the cooked form.
00:09:34.83\00:09:37.01
So what would be
the ones available,
00:09:37.02\00:09:38.19
more available in raw form?
00:09:38.20\00:09:40.19
You know, most of the foods
00:09:40.20\00:09:41.33
that we eat cooked
like beans for example
00:09:41.34\00:09:47.84
that helps our body
to be able to utilized
00:09:47.85\00:09:50.00
and digest some of the nutrients
00:09:50.01\00:09:51.35
that are in there.
00:09:51.36\00:09:52.50
Some foods like
spinach or carrots,
00:09:52.51\00:09:54.83
we can eat either cooked or raw.
00:09:54.84\00:09:57.71
I usually recommend people
00:09:57.72\00:09:59.24
when they consumed
their vegetables try
00:09:59.25\00:10:01.69
and keep a balance about
half raw, about half-cooked,
00:10:01.70\00:10:04.37
that way you will
have a good balance.
00:10:04.38\00:10:06.67
Now Wichita,
where you and I live
00:10:06.68\00:10:10.70
there is a restaurant
00:10:10.71\00:10:11.86
there that has
all those raw things
00:10:11.87\00:10:16.61
that you can
put them in a salad.
00:10:16.62\00:10:20.06
Is that's something you
recommend that type of place.
00:10:20.07\00:10:22.84
I recommend eating salads
00:10:22.85\00:10:24.19
and raw fruits
every single day, yeah.
00:10:24.20\00:10:26.96
Now I saw study that said
00:10:26.97\00:10:28.28
there is one in four Americans
00:10:28.29\00:10:30.23
that really follow this advice.
00:10:30.24\00:10:32.89
The American cancer
society recommends getting
00:10:32.90\00:10:35.46
at least five to nine
servings of fresh fruits
00:10:35.47\00:10:38.90
and vegetables a day.
00:10:38.91\00:10:42.80
Some raw, some cooked,
00:10:42.81\00:10:44.54
but only less than
25% of Americans get
00:10:44.55\00:10:48.56
even five which is the minimum.
00:10:48.57\00:10:51.77
And I mean this is after
they have all these campaigns
00:10:51.78\00:10:55.36
to tell people
they need to do this.
00:10:55.37\00:10:56.93
So what do you do,
00:10:56.94\00:10:58.03
I supposed people that have
someone that develops cancer,
00:10:58.04\00:11:01.47
they are very interested
in doing all the right things,
00:11:01.48\00:11:03.85
but it's best to
do it before then.
00:11:03.86\00:11:05.79
Right, right.
00:11:05.80\00:11:07.17
What else can we
do to avoid cancer?
00:11:07.18\00:11:11.70
Well, another thing the study
found is on our next graphic
00:11:11.71\00:11:14.43
and that's about
keeping your weight
00:11:14.44\00:11:16.79
in a healthy range.
00:11:16.80\00:11:18.53
There is a measurement
that called Body Mass Index
00:11:18.54\00:11:24.34
which recommend
the Body Mass Index is
00:11:24.35\00:11:26.80
between 18.5 and 25.
00:11:26.81\00:11:29.90
What does that mean exactly?
00:11:29.91\00:11:32.02
That's a ratio
based on height and weight
00:11:32.03\00:11:35.08
and there is a
mathematical formula.
00:11:35.09\00:11:37.72
People can get more information
00:11:37.73\00:11:40.61
on that on the Internet
00:11:40.62\00:11:42.58
where there are
articles and so on.
00:11:42.59\00:11:44.17
How that really works? Right.
00:11:44.18\00:11:45.85
But really just
I mean you want to
00:11:45.86\00:11:48.80
weight less
than you normally do.
00:11:48.81\00:11:50.98
Though they figure out.
00:11:50.99\00:11:51.96
Well, speaking of,
00:11:51.97\00:11:52.94
two-thirds of the
Americans are over-weight
00:11:52.95\00:11:54.49
or obese.
00:11:54.50\00:11:55.98
And I saw an interesting graphic
00:11:55.99\00:11:57.49
on that recently
that since the 90's
00:11:57.50\00:11:59.63
has just skyrocketed in
the last decade, obesity.
00:11:59.64\00:12:03.38
And obesity
increases your respiration,
00:12:03.39\00:12:05.13
some kinds of cancer,
00:12:05.14\00:12:07.54
particularly endometrial cancer
00:12:07.55\00:12:09.28
which is of the
uterus, breast cancer,
00:12:09.29\00:12:11.43
and prostate cancer
00:12:11.44\00:12:13.24
and may be
other cancers as well.
00:12:13.25\00:12:14.97
So obesity is a hazard to
00:12:14.98\00:12:17.09
then you would say
both man and woman.
00:12:17.10\00:12:18.78
Absolutely. Okay.
00:12:18.79\00:12:20.23
Well, so these
are, we're going down
00:12:20.24\00:12:21.88
the 10 things
that are recommended
00:12:21.89\00:12:23.78
from this large study,
00:12:23.79\00:12:25.81
the China study, right?
00:12:25.82\00:12:27.22
What's the next?
00:12:27.23\00:12:28.99
This study is actually
called the food nutrition
00:12:29.00\00:12:32.36
and prevention of cancer,
00:12:32.37\00:12:34.43
a global perspective. Okay.
00:12:34.44\00:12:36.05
This is the 4500 studies.
00:12:36.06\00:12:37.63
Okay, great.
00:12:37.64\00:12:38.63
So aside from eating the fruits
00:12:38.64\00:12:41.49
and vegetables and then
maintaining an ideal weight.
00:12:41.50\00:12:45.92
Number three is
being physically active
00:12:45.93\00:12:48.12
and they
recommended being active
00:12:48.13\00:12:50.97
at least 60 minutes a day.
00:12:50.98\00:12:52.74
Moderate activity which
can be brisk walking enough
00:12:52.75\00:12:56.38
for your coming to catch
your breath a little bit,
00:12:56.39\00:12:59.30
but not so much that
you are out of breath. Okay.
00:12:59.31\00:13:01.69
And it doesn't have to
all be done at one time,
00:13:01.70\00:13:05.00
you can actually, you
can walk 20 minutes here
00:13:05.01\00:13:08.38
and 10 minutes there
and walk up to stairs
00:13:08.39\00:13:10.11
and combined it to
add up to 60 minutes
00:13:10.12\00:13:13.69
plus some vigorous activities
00:13:13.70\00:13:15.00
recommended as well.
00:13:15.01\00:13:16.70
Okay, and that's
something I think
00:13:16.71\00:13:17.86
we many times fall
down on America I mean,
00:13:17.87\00:13:20.65
we're very sedentary.
00:13:20.66\00:13:22.36
We're talking with
Dr. Timothy Lawton.
00:13:22.37\00:13:23.97
We're talking about cancer.
00:13:23.98\00:13:25.41
We're talking about the fact
00:13:25.42\00:13:26.94
that it's now number one
00:13:26.95\00:13:28.58
in terms of
causing death in America
00:13:28.59\00:13:30.46
for those under 85.
00:13:30.47\00:13:32.02
And we're talking
about how to prevent it
00:13:32.03\00:13:34.99
and of course if you have cancer
00:13:35.00\00:13:36.82
this is also going to
help you perhaps recover
00:13:36.83\00:13:42.43
from that Lord willing.
00:13:42.44\00:13:44.06
And we're gonna be
continuing our talk
00:13:44.07\00:13:46.44
with Dr. Lawton
when we come back.
00:13:46.45\00:13:48.46
Have you found yourself
00:13:50.48\00:13:51.46
wishing that you
can shed a few pounds?
00:13:51.47\00:13:53.57
Have you been on a
diet for most of your life,
00:13:53.58\00:13:55.99
but not found anything
00:13:56.00\00:13:57.13
that will really
keep the weight off.
00:13:57.14\00:13:59.21
If you have answered yes
to any of these questions
00:13:59.22\00:14:01.73
then we've a
solution for you that works.
00:14:01.74\00:14:04.67

Welcome back, we're
talking with Dr. Timothy Lawton.
00:14:50.95\00:14:53.32
We're talking about cancer
00:14:53.33\00:14:54.87
and we're talking about
00:14:54.88\00:14:56.06
how you can avoid
America's number one killer,
00:14:56.07\00:14:59.25
that's number one
for those under 85
00:14:59.26\00:15:01.97
and how you can prevent that?
00:15:01.98\00:15:03.71
Dr. Lawton is a medical
doctor in Wichita, Kansas.
00:15:03.72\00:15:06.96
He has started a lifestyle
medicine centre called Vitae
00:15:06.97\00:15:11.02
which means life.
00:15:11.03\00:15:12.73
It's an excellent,
it's an excellent approach,
00:15:12.74\00:15:15.14
I've been there but
I'm unable to visit,
00:15:15.15\00:15:16.53
what you are doing,
you have various programs
00:15:16.54\00:15:18.93
that you run lifestyle programs
00:15:18.94\00:15:20.77
and you follow people medically.
00:15:20.78\00:15:22.74
I mean it's not just
okay, this may help you.
00:15:22.75\00:15:25.69
You are able to do the things
00:15:25.70\00:15:27.52
everything they have
done on a medical doctor
00:15:27.53\00:15:29.22
and you work with there,
00:15:29.23\00:15:30.20
I think local
physician as well, don't you?
00:15:30.21\00:15:32.84
Right, patients
can either say yes
00:15:32.85\00:15:35.04
for their primary
as a primary physician
00:15:35.05\00:15:37.27
or we can work in concert
with the other providers.
00:15:37.28\00:15:40.25
We're talking about cancer
00:15:40.26\00:15:41.27
and we talked
just to recapitulate
00:15:41.28\00:15:44.77
about how it's
a very big problem
00:15:44.78\00:15:46.98
both for men and women.
00:15:46.99\00:15:48.50
And then we were looking
00:15:48.51\00:15:49.48
at this global
perspective study,
00:15:49.49\00:15:52.42
those 4,500
studies and had 10 points.
00:15:52.43\00:15:56.24
We talked about
remind us of the three
00:15:56.25\00:15:58.25
we've gone through and
then let's continue on.
00:15:58.26\00:16:00.20
All right, the
first point was to choose
00:16:00.21\00:16:03.60
predominantly a
plant-based diet.
00:16:03.61\00:16:05.92
Most of your food
is coming from fruits,
00:16:05.93\00:16:07.52
vegetables, whole grains, beans,
00:16:07.53\00:16:10.20
and nuts and seeds.
00:16:10.21\00:16:12.59
The second point was to
maintain a healthy weight.
00:16:12.60\00:16:15.22
And third point
was to get adequate
00:16:15.23\00:16:17.30
physical activity
on a regular basis.
00:16:17.31\00:16:19.81
Okay let's continue on,
then what's number four?
00:16:19.82\00:16:22.15
Point number four is,
00:16:22.16\00:16:24.49
there is a certain
number of fruits and vegetables
00:16:24.50\00:16:26.66
that are
recommended its five to ten
00:16:26.67\00:16:30.36
servings a day of
fruits and vegetables.
00:16:30.37\00:16:32.75
People are wondering
00:16:32.76\00:16:34.14
sometime how much a serving is.
00:16:34.15\00:16:38.55
Usually it's about
what you would eat normally.
00:16:38.56\00:16:41.42
It could be a like
a medium size apple
00:16:41.43\00:16:44.47
or medium size oranges
considered one serving.
00:16:44.48\00:16:48.82
As far as things
like the salad vegetables,
00:16:48.83\00:16:51.10
it's usually one cup of raw
00:16:51.11\00:16:53.70
or half a cup of
cooked vegetables,
00:16:53.71\00:16:55.77
take spinach for example,
00:16:55.78\00:16:57.22
the volume
decreases when you cook it.
00:16:57.23\00:16:59.98
So five to ten a day,
00:16:59.99\00:17:01.37
so five apples a day
keeps the doctor away.
00:17:01.38\00:17:05.35
Well, you really
need to eat fruit
00:17:05.36\00:17:07.90
and or vegetables
with every single meal
00:17:07.91\00:17:10.06
that's the only way to get it in
00:17:10.07\00:17:11.67
and for snacks.
00:17:11.68\00:17:13.02
And for snacks, okay.
00:17:13.03\00:17:15.37
What's our next recommendation?
00:17:15.38\00:17:18.69
Well, next
recommendation is really keeping
00:17:18.70\00:17:21.20
the refine sugar
intake low keeping it
00:17:21.21\00:17:24.67
to less than 10 percent
of our total daily calories.
00:17:24.68\00:17:28.74
And that's interesting
whether that's consistent
00:17:28.75\00:17:30.94
with the US government's
new food guidelines.
00:17:30.95\00:17:35.13
They recommend that you
keep 90 percent of your food
00:17:35.14\00:17:38.27
as being whole
foods and about 10 percent
00:17:38.28\00:17:41.11
or less as being what they
call discretionary calories.
00:17:41.12\00:17:44.50
Okay, now is there a
link between sugar consumption
00:17:44.51\00:17:47.27
and cancer tha'st been
showed in the research.
00:17:47.28\00:17:48.77
And that's what the
study has concluded, yeah.
00:17:48.78\00:17:52.16
I saw your M&M's or schedules
all those different things,
00:17:52.17\00:17:54.68
don't need too many of them.
00:17:54.69\00:17:57.30
You can get your
five or nine servings
00:17:57.31\00:17:59.15
of different
colors in M&M schedule,
00:17:59.16\00:18:00.99
but they are not
pretty vegetables so.
00:18:01.00\00:18:02.19
That's right, right.
00:18:02.20\00:18:04.29
Okay, anything else?
00:18:04.30\00:18:05.96
Well, point number six
was alcohol is not recommended
00:18:05.97\00:18:12.09
and that they felt very
clearly alcohol is linked
00:18:12.10\00:18:15.05
with a number of
different kinds of cancer
00:18:15.06\00:18:16.75
specially cancer of
the digestive tract,
00:18:16.76\00:18:20.64
the mouth, throat.
00:18:20.65\00:18:23.16
And why is it that,
00:18:23.17\00:18:25.10
you know, the etiology
on that how does that work?
00:18:25.11\00:18:29.39
Well, the alcohol is a poison
00:18:29.40\00:18:32.58
and toxin and it seems
to be toxic to the areas
00:18:32.59\00:18:36.74
it comes in contact with.
00:18:36.75\00:18:38.42
So just avoiding that completely
00:18:38.43\00:18:39.77
and I think that's
a good recommendation
00:18:39.78\00:18:42.68
for lots of reason,
kind of make a loopy too
00:18:42.69\00:18:45.46
and then you make bad decisions.
00:18:45.47\00:18:47.29
What's your next one?
00:18:47.30\00:18:49.14
Recommendation number
seven was meat consumption,
00:18:49.15\00:18:53.86
limiting meat
consumption especially red meat.
00:18:53.87\00:18:57.43
I think this is
an interesting point.
00:18:57.44\00:19:00.81
They say if you
choose to eat red meat,
00:19:00.82\00:19:02.82
limit consumption to
less than 3 oz a day.
00:19:02.83\00:19:06.16
And if you think about
your 16 oz stake or something,
00:19:06.17\00:19:08.46
that will feed your whole family
00:19:08.47\00:19:09.89
for at least half a week.
00:19:09.90\00:19:13.20
Yeah, so in another words
00:19:13.21\00:19:15.26
it's probably best
not to eat any meat
00:19:15.27\00:19:17.65
if you want to avoid cancer,
00:19:17.66\00:19:18.77
but if you do make
sure and avoid red meat.
00:19:18.78\00:19:21.83
Well, Don, they suggested
that if you do consume meat,
00:19:21.84\00:19:26.33
choose meat that
either is from fish or poultry
00:19:26.34\00:19:30.87
or non domesticated sources
00:19:30.88\00:19:33.89
or non
domesticated you can get perhaps
00:19:33.90\00:19:36.61
like a grass fed cow,
00:19:36.62\00:19:37.86
or buffalo or
something like that
00:19:37.87\00:19:39.21
will be safer than your
he typical beef of pork.
00:19:39.22\00:19:42.76
So why is that the blood
00:19:42.77\00:19:45.15
and meat is so dangerous?
00:19:45.16\00:19:49.77
I think it's the fat content,
00:19:49.78\00:19:51.96
there is significantly
five times more fat
00:19:51.97\00:19:57.13
in your grain fed cow versus
your free range grass fed cow
00:19:57.14\00:20:00.92
or your domestic
turkeys versus your wild turkey,
00:20:00.93\00:20:05.01
it's lot, lot more fat.
00:20:05.02\00:20:07.17
You know, in my family,
00:20:07.18\00:20:08.15
my lot of, my great
uncles died of colon cancer
00:20:08.16\00:20:13.16
and the difference between them
00:20:13.17\00:20:15.16
and my grandfather
who was a vegetarian
00:20:15.17\00:20:18.99
because he was a
Seventh-day Adventist minister
00:20:19.00\00:20:21.61
that was the main difference,
I mean in my own family.
00:20:21.62\00:20:24.75
I've seen what killed
the people on one side
00:20:24.76\00:20:28.69
versus the
other, very fascinating,
00:20:28.70\00:20:30.36
but now science
is bringing it out.
00:20:30.37\00:20:33.29
What's your next thing?
00:20:33.30\00:20:34.27
The next point
is just limiting fat
00:20:34.28\00:20:36.56
specially saturated fat.
00:20:36.57\00:20:38.45
One interesting thing
about the fat in animals.
00:20:41.14\00:20:44.83
We're learning
now, it's not just,
00:20:47.08\00:20:49.77
we can't make a blank statement
00:20:49.78\00:20:51.41
and say all fat is bad,
because we really know that
00:20:51.42\00:20:55.06
there are certain
fats our bodies need,
00:20:55.07\00:20:56.56
there are
essential fats to our diet
00:20:56.57\00:20:58.23
and some of those
are the omega 3's.
00:20:58.24\00:21:00.80
Interestingly animals like
I was mentioning like a cow
00:21:00.81\00:21:06.62
who is fed on grass for example.
00:21:06.63\00:21:08.60
They will have more omega 3's
00:21:08.61\00:21:10.03
than that cow who is
raised in the feedlot.
00:21:10.04\00:21:12.48
In fact after that
cow has been in feedlot
00:21:12.49\00:21:14.09
for a couple of months,
there is almost no omega 3
00:21:14.10\00:21:17.14
or good fat left
in their body at all.
00:21:17.15\00:21:20.01
It' all been replaced
with an unhealthy kind of fat.
00:21:20.02\00:21:23.28
Okay, so, yeah, if
you are going to eat meat
00:21:23.29\00:21:25.08
make sure it's been on
the range not on the... Yeah,
00:21:25.09\00:21:28.96
and how many people do that,
00:21:28.97\00:21:31.55
probably most
people go just to store
00:21:31.56\00:21:33.10
and buy whatever is there.
00:21:33.11\00:21:34.65
Whatever is on sale.
00:21:34.66\00:21:35.95
Right whatever is on sale.
00:21:35.96\00:21:37.86
So limiting the fatty
foods and besides meat,
00:21:37.87\00:21:41.58
what are some other saturated
fats they should avoid.
00:21:41.59\00:21:44.51
You know, one
animal is responsible
00:21:44.52\00:21:47.31
for five of the top six
sources of saturated fat
00:21:47.32\00:21:50.79
in our diet, but you can guess.
00:21:50.80\00:21:52.91
Probably the cow.
It goes moo, yeah.
00:21:52.92\00:21:56.01
So diary accounts
for four of those top six
00:21:56.02\00:21:58.72
and beef is one
of the other top six.
00:21:58.73\00:22:01.25
The other source of saturated
fat would be oils you know,
00:22:01.26\00:22:05.72
French fries and
other fried foods.
00:22:05.73\00:22:07.88
What's the percentage
in French fries is fat.
00:22:07.89\00:22:12.71
I think it's probably around
50 percent of the calories
00:22:12.72\00:22:16.29
in French fries or
potato chips are pure fat.
00:22:16.30\00:22:20.49
And no nutrition
in that, it's just.
00:22:20.50\00:22:22.39
I heard I mean, I don't
want you put on the spot there,
00:22:22.40\00:22:24.64
but I heard that it's
like French fries are 70% fats,
00:22:24.65\00:22:28.03
someone told me
once. It could be.
00:22:28.04\00:22:29.76
It's just 50
percent that's a lot of fat.
00:22:29.77\00:22:32.56
It's interesting, you know,
00:22:32.57\00:22:34.80
you're a
Christian clinician as well
00:22:34.81\00:22:37.21
and of course I am a Christian,
00:22:37.22\00:22:39.25
but I've noticed something
that's fascinating that
00:22:39.26\00:22:42.95
in the
scriptures it says avoid fat
00:22:42.96\00:22:44.89
and avoid
blood, very same things
00:22:44.90\00:22:46.61
that now science is telling us
00:22:46.62\00:22:47.93
to do avoid those things.
00:22:47.94\00:22:50.32
What's our next one?
00:22:50.33\00:22:52.33
The next point Don
has to do with salt.
00:22:52.34\00:22:54.74
We've heard for years
00:22:54.75\00:22:56.07
that too much salt
is bad for the heart,
00:22:56.08\00:22:57.55
but too much salt
also can cause cancer.
00:22:57.56\00:23:01.15
Explain that.
00:23:01.16\00:23:02.28
Well, feed people
to eat a lot of salt,
00:23:02.29\00:23:06.95
it's just been found that
00:23:06.96\00:23:08.64
there is a high rate of cancer.
00:23:08.65\00:23:10.10
The recommendation from
the studies is to keep salt
00:23:10.11\00:23:12.40
down to 2400 mg a day,
00:23:12.41\00:23:15.66
that's one
teaspoon of salt a day.
00:23:15.67\00:23:19.53
I mean a potato chips seems
almost have more than that.
00:23:19.54\00:23:22.76
Well, you would be
surprised a lot people say
00:23:22.77\00:23:25.44
well, I don't
add salt to anything,
00:23:25.45\00:23:28.18
but 70 percent of America's
00:23:28.19\00:23:30.35
salt doesn't
come from the shaker,
00:23:30.36\00:23:32.24
it comes from
what's already in the food
00:23:32.25\00:23:33.63
that's purchased and processed.
00:23:33.64\00:23:38.12
You know, as far
as how do you measure,
00:23:38.13\00:23:40.45
how do you count it's tougher
00:23:40.46\00:23:42.30
if you are eating
all the restaurant food,
00:23:42.31\00:23:44.24
but sodium is on all the labels.
00:23:44.25\00:23:46.23
So 2400 mg I tell my patients
00:23:46.24\00:23:48.85
so you got 2400
sodium bugs to spend
00:23:48.86\00:23:51.60
and if they go over can of soup,
00:23:51.61\00:23:53.02
they might be
spending 900 or 1000.
00:23:53.03\00:23:55.64
So any can, is
it safe to say caned
00:23:55.65\00:23:58.26
products are
always higher in sodium.
00:23:58.27\00:24:00.35
Unless they say low
sodium, you got to look at that.
00:24:00.36\00:24:03.16
Frozen dinners notoriously
going to be high in sodium.
00:24:03.17\00:24:07.27
And of course potato
chips and all these other things
00:24:07.28\00:24:09.83
it's very obvious
they have a lot of salt.
00:24:09.84\00:24:11.67
In lot of restaurant food.
00:24:11.68\00:24:14.01
In lot of restaurant
food. It's very salty.
00:24:14.02\00:24:14.99
Is that right, so?
00:24:15.00\00:24:16.61
Yeah, okay, so avoiding,
00:24:16.62\00:24:17.93
keeping the salt
down to less than 2400 mg
00:24:17.94\00:24:23.12
which is like a
teaspoon, right, okay.
00:24:23.13\00:24:26.59
What's our next
recommendation number ten.
00:24:26.60\00:24:29.33
The next recommendation
00:24:29.34\00:24:31.64
I suppose this
would be for people
00:24:31.65\00:24:33.52
who do eat meat,
00:24:33.53\00:24:34.61
but don't grill or barbecue
your food in a direct flame.
00:24:34.62\00:24:40.80
This is very interesting,
00:24:40.81\00:24:42.50
something I hadn't heard at all,
00:24:42.51\00:24:43.58
until the study came out.
00:24:43.59\00:24:45.39
But the meat juices when
they drip over the direct flame
00:24:45.40\00:24:51.60
they created a
carcinogenic smoke.
00:24:51.61\00:24:55.21
And so smoked meats
00:24:55.22\00:24:57.07
and when that smoke
gets back on your food,
00:24:57.08\00:24:59.40
it's actually toxic.
00:24:59.41\00:25:00.75
If the flame is hot enough
00:25:00.76\00:25:01.97
that the meat actually
gets burned or charred,
00:25:01.98\00:25:05.40
that charred
part is bad for you,
00:25:05.41\00:25:07.73
that's carcinogenic.
00:25:07.74\00:25:09.92
I grew up thinking that
well just eat that charcoal,
00:25:09.93\00:25:12.09
it's good for you, but
it's really, really not.
00:25:12.10\00:25:15.39
So, is that true just for
meats or is it true also for
00:25:15.40\00:25:19.77
if you are grilling vegetables
00:25:19.78\00:25:21.18
or doing that kind
of stuff on your grill.
00:25:21.19\00:25:24.55
I probably
wouldn't eat the stuff,
00:25:24.56\00:25:25.82
it's been cooked
to the point that
00:25:25.83\00:25:28.08
it's not recognizable Don.
00:25:28.09\00:25:31.65
Some people, I mean some people
00:25:31.66\00:25:33.23
just find that the most tasty,
00:25:33.24\00:25:34.92
you know, the
part is just kind of,
00:25:34.93\00:25:36.95
you know, and they
really look forward to that.
00:25:36.96\00:25:39.75
You know, if you are following
00:25:39.76\00:25:41.61
all these other nine steps
00:25:41.62\00:25:43.54
and you are
grilling your vegetables
00:25:43.55\00:25:44.94
and you are getting your five
or nine vegetables in the day
00:25:44.95\00:25:48.55
more power to you,
I think that's great.
00:25:48.56\00:25:50.60
But we, just to say one thing
00:25:50.61\00:25:52.46
we did a grill
that we barbecue on,
00:25:52.47\00:25:56.54
it's completely sealed
00:25:56.55\00:25:57.88
there is no
exposure to the flame at all.
00:25:57.89\00:25:59.93
It's got a non stick coating
00:25:59.94\00:26:02.64
and so all the juices
would drip off to the side
00:26:02.65\00:26:05.30
and there is no burning
or exposure to direct flame,
00:26:05.31\00:26:08.73
so these are available.
00:26:08.74\00:26:10.10
Couple of things we
haven't talked about
00:26:10.11\00:26:11.77
or haven't brought up a lot?
00:26:11.78\00:26:13.08
What about tobacco?
00:26:13.09\00:26:15.03
Tobacco is a
number one cause of death
00:26:15.04\00:26:18.54
in United States
over 400,000 deaths
00:26:18.55\00:26:22.20
and it says me that at least
00:26:22.21\00:26:23.83
a third of all cancers
are related to tobacco.
00:26:23.84\00:26:26.90
Another third at least
00:26:26.91\00:26:28.75
are related to
diet and inactivity.
00:26:28.76\00:26:31.69
So then there is another
third related other factors,
00:26:31.70\00:26:34.32
but you cover, you don't smoke,
00:26:34.33\00:26:36.08
you cut your
risk by about third.
00:26:36.09\00:26:37.93
If you follow these
nutritional principles
00:26:37.94\00:26:40.06
you cut your
risk by another third,
00:26:40.07\00:26:42.79
so two-thirds at
least your risk of cancers
00:26:42.80\00:26:44.95
can be eliminated by
00:26:44.96\00:26:46.44
these very simple
lifestyle principles.
00:26:46.45\00:26:48.29
Second hand smoke
00:26:48.30\00:26:49.94
Second hand smoke is
very, very dangerous.
00:26:49.95\00:26:52.61
Every hour you are
exposed to second hand smoke,
00:26:52.62\00:26:55.07
is like smoking one cigarette,
00:26:55.08\00:26:57.59
so if you are exposed
to smoke ten hours a day
00:26:57.60\00:27:00.24
that's like smoking
half a pack of cigarettes.
00:27:00.25\00:27:02.33
So if you are in a
band and everybody smokes,
00:27:02.34\00:27:04.38
but you don't, don't
pat yourself on the back
00:27:04.39\00:27:07.55
You know, go out
and get some fresh air
00:27:07.56\00:27:08.96
and may be find another band.
00:27:08.97\00:27:12.40
And at Vitae
Health, you help people with
00:27:12.41\00:27:15.21
all these kind of
principles and help them.
00:27:15.22\00:27:18.96
Are people sometimes
just unaware of these things?
00:27:18.97\00:27:22.22
People are extremely unaware,
00:27:22.23\00:27:24.00
even a lot of
medical doctors are not aware
00:27:24.01\00:27:27.29
of these principles
that we've discussed.
00:27:27.30\00:27:30.90
Well, thank you so
much for joining us,
00:27:30.91\00:27:32.59
taking time out of
your busy schedule there
00:27:32.60\00:27:35.55
at Vitae to be with us
to share these principles.
00:27:35.56\00:27:38.58
Well, thank you Don, it's
been a pleasure to be here
00:27:38.59\00:27:40.23
and share this
useful information.
00:27:40.24\00:27:42.91
And thank you for
being with us today
00:27:42.92\00:27:44.34
on "Health for
Lifetime" as well.
00:27:44.35\00:27:46.01
We hope the information
today will be helpful to you.
00:27:46.02\00:27:48.33
If you know
someone who has cancer,
00:27:48.34\00:27:50.25
but more importantly
if you want avoid it.
00:27:50.26\00:27:52.98
Thanks for joining us
00:27:52.99\00:27:53.96
