What's the Link, if Any, Between Dietary Fat and Breast Cancer?

breast cancer diet and nutrition

Read the China Study by T. Colin Campbell and visit web site of drmcdougall.com I have no credentials but read a lot on nutrition. I followed a very low fat, plant based diet in which 80 percent of my intake is brown rice, winter squash, sweet potatoes, whole grain pastas and beans. I take in adequate amounts of leafy greens and yellow vegetables.

There is also a great movie called "The Delicate Balance" it is very informative.

I am 58-year old grandmother. I have abundant energy am rarely sick with colds and flus. Am I bragging, you bet. I wake up in the morning without ACHES OR PAINS. Was a vegetarian for 15 years before deciding to go vegan. In addtion to no meats I then came off dairy and oils and noticed a dramatic change in my energy. I thought I was healthy before, but after doing so my eczema and migraine

headaches stopped.

Now I do realize that just because one is a vegetarian or a vegan does not necessarily mean one is healthy. Only by eating low fat, WHOLE foods seems the way to go. Allowing non-processed foods to be the main part of the diet honors the body best.

Yes this does sound like a commercial, but it rings true to me in how I feel. I babysit for my four grandchildren four full days a week and have the energy and ability to do so.

Just wanted to pass this info on to you. I am no expert , however, I am a living example of eating a vegan, starch based diet and wishing others would review this way of eating and contact the experts with the credentials to offer the credibility on this subject.

There are many other countries that eat a whole foods, no or very litte meat diet. The Peruvian diet is mostly all potatoes and they are thriving! The China Study is a tremendously great book. I was so inspired I actually flew across the country to hear Colin Campbell speak at a seminar in Santa Rosa, California.

I truly think we need to look into what countries get the "big 5" diseases like prostate, breast cancers, diabetes and heart problems. The industrial lands of plenty have the highest rates for the sickest. Eating ridiculously large portioned, very high fat, acidic foods like dairy and meats and oils.

Thanks for reading this,
