I don’t know how many people have heard of the China

Project. It answers the question of a genetic link to cancer in my opinion –

and the answer is there is no significant link. But there is a great linkage to

WHAT you eat and cancer. It would also seem logical that what you eat after

contracting cancer would also have a great affect on how and if you heal your

cancer. Below is a passage from the book “Eat to Live”. The e-book

“The China-Cornell-Oxford Project

(also known as the China Project) is the

most comprehensive

study on the connection between diet and

disease in medical history.

The New York Times called this

investigation the " Grand Prix of all epidemiological

studies " and " the most comprehensive

large study ever

undertaken of the relationship between diet

and the risk of developing

disease. " 1

Spearheaded by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., of

Cornell University,

this study has made discoveries that have

turned the nutritional

community upside down. To the surprise of

many, the China Project

has revealed many so-called nutritional

facts as demonstrably false.

For example, the answer to all the

Nutrition Quiz questions above is

false.

China was an ideal testing ground for this

comprehensive project

because the people in one area of China eat

a certain diet and the

people just a few hundred miles away may

eat a completely different

diet. Unlike in the West, where we all eat

very similarly, rural China

is a " living laboratory " for

studying the complex relationship between

diet and disease.2

The China Project was valid because it

studied populations with

a full range of dietary possibilities: from

a completely plant-food diet to

diets that included a significant amount of

animal foods. Adding

small quantities of a variable is how

scientists can best detect the risk

or value of a dietary practice. It's the

same principle as comparing

nonsmokers with those who smoke half a pack

a day, to best observe

the dangers of smoking. Comparing a

fifty-cigarette per day habit

with a sixty-cigarette per day habit may

not reveal much more additional

damage from those last ten cigarettes.

In China, people live their entire lives in

the towns they were

born in and rarely migrate, so the dietary

effects that researchers

looked at were present for the subjects'

entire life. Furthermore, as a

result of significant regional differences

in the way people eat, there

were dramatic differences in the prevalence

of disease from region to

region. Cardiovascular disease rates varied

twentyfold from one place

to another, and certain cancer rates varied

by several hundredfold. In

America, there is little difference in the

way we eat; therefore, we do

not see a hundredfold difference in cancer

rates between one town

and another.

Fascinating findings were made in this

study. The data showed

huge differences in disease rates based on

the amount of plant foods

eaten and the availability of animal

products. Researchers found that

as the amount of animal foods increased in

the diet, even in relatively

small increments, so did the emergence of

the cancers that are

common in the West. Most cancers occurred

in direct proportion to

the quantity of animal foods consumed.

In other words, as animal food consumption

approached zero,

cancer rates fell. Areas of the country

with an extremely low consumption

of animal food were virtually free of heart

attacks and cancer.

An analysis of the mortality data from 65

counties and 130

villages showed a significant association

with animal protein intake

(even at relatively low levels) and heart

attacks, with a strong protective

effect from the consumption of green

vegetables.*

All animal products are low (or completely

lacking) in the nutrients

that protect us against cancer and heart

attacks — fiber, antioxidants,

phytochemicals, folate, vitamin E, and

plant proteins. They

are rich in substances that scientific

investigations have shown to be

associated with cancer and heart disease

incidence: saturated fat, cholesterol,

and arachidonic acid.4 Diets rich in animal

protein are also

associated with high blood levels of the

hormone IGF-1, which is a

known risk factor for several types of

cancer.5

The China Project showed a strong

correlation between cancer

and the amount of animal protein, not just

animal fat, consumed.6

Consumption of lean meats and poultry still

showed a strong correlation

with higher cancer incidence. These

findings indicate that even

low-fat animal foods such as skinless

white-meat chicken are implicated

in certain cancers.”
