Soy and fish protect from cancer /causes cancer??

[Guest guest]

As a doctor, and someone who believes in the saying ‘ let food be thy medicine ‘ I would like to explain the reasons for what the author of this article experienced -

 

It is not a question of the dangers of soya, but the dangers of a high protein diet – any high protein diet. There are plenty of people with cancers out there and they are not all on soya. However one of the reasons that cancer has become an epidemic is because eating too much protein has become the norm, especially in the Western world and increasingly in our country. (there are other reasons too)

 

Before I can explain the reason for this, there are 2 important facts that must be understood.

 

1. The human being like other primates is essentially a herbivore. Unlike natural carnivores we are unable to eat animal flesh without the help of the knife and the fire. We also eat dairy products. Mother nature intended mammals to produce milk only for their young. Our species has broken the natural age and species laws for dairy. A human baby grows to full size in 18 years, a baby calf in 18 months. In order to help the calf grow fast, cows milk contains 3 times the quantity of protein as human milk making it similar in composition to meat – high protein, high fat, high cholesterol, no fibre.

 

2. Protein is a food for growth. This is why infant mammals are provided with milk at the time of maximum growth. All milk also contains growth hormone to help the baby grow.

 

If you take milk or other protein foods including soya in large quantities when you do not need growth, this will translate into obesity, other growths like cancers and tumours.

 

Our problem today is not soya, but the protein addiction in every form. (a direct result of wealth and refrigeration). Don’t forget that eating meat or dairy is also an indirect way of eating soya. This is the grain most commonly fed to the animals too, to make them grow, grow, grow. So whether you choose tofu and soya milk or dairy and meat, if you consume it in large quantities you are likely to suffer cancer, diabetes, heart disease and hypertension. The only way to prevent these diseases is to eat what nature intended us to – a variety of vegan fresh whole foods.
