• My Favorite Cancer Video: My favorite cancer video is from 2007. Dr Greger explains how long it takes the first cancer to grow into a tumor that's noticeable by a machine. How many months or years does it take? And is there anything we could do to slow down this growth?
• Cancer: Genes vs Lifestyle: A surprisingly large percentage (upto 80%) of cancer incidence may be attributed to lifestyle factors like alcohol, smoking, diet & exercise!
• Guiding Mantra for Cancer: Prevention, Prevention, Prevention! Modern medicine continues to invest in early diagnosis and improved therapy — neither of these changes the rate of incidence of cancer! And how effective is chemotherapy? Dr Greger explains, "The contribution of cancer-killing chemo to five-year survival in cancer patients is approximately 2% only." For cancer, the best course of action is Prevention, Prevention, Prevention!
• The Palatability of Cancer Prevention: In nutrition science, a huge gap between scientific knowledge and public awareness exists. An important question is: "How should our daily food plates be composed? Is there any room for animal products?" In this context, The Palatability Concern emerges: (1) (Short term) Meal satisfaction: Would our food plates be as tasty and flavorful without animal products? (2) (Long term) Lifelong adherence: Is there evidence that those who adopt a plant-based or plant-only lifestyle stick to such food plates year after year?

AICR & ACS Guidelines: What are the dietary guidelines by AICR (American Institute for Cancer Research) and ACS (American Cancer Society)? How effective are they?

• AICR: 10 Recommendations: In 2018, AICR (American Institute for Cancer Research) outlined 10 Recommendations. Six of them pertain to what we put into our mouths. One of these six guidelines is positive (what to do), the other five are negative (what not to do). The positive guideline is to consume a diet rich in whole grains, beans & legumes, fruits & vegetables, nuts & seeds!
• AICR: New American Plate: AICR recommends a diet rich in whole grains, beans & legumes, fruits & vegetables, nuts & seeds. In 2020, they outlined a New American Plate to encourage a shift towards a plant-rich food plate.
• AICR: 10 Recommendations in Detail: Details of AICR's 10 Recommendations from 2018.
• How Effective Are AICR Guidelines?: Dr Greger has a fascinating video that addresses questions like these: "What happens if we adopt 1 or 2 or 3 of the 10 guidelines by AICR? By how much do chances of breast cancer go down? Out of the 10 guidelines, which are the top-3 guidelines? What happens if we increase plant-food intake by x %? What happens if we decrease animal-based intake by y %?"
• ACS Dietary Guidelines: In 2020, American Cancer Society published their guidelines. What do they say? How do these guidelines relate to Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines?

Dr Greger's videos on cancer:

• Dr Michael Greger: Cancer: Four out of fifteen chapters in Dr Greger's book How Not To Die are on cancer. He has dozens of videos at NutritionFacts.org on cancer. In fact, in 2012, Dr Greger gave a 55-minute presentation, a large part of which was cancer. He later created a 15-part video series to explain these points in detail.
• Prostate Cancer & WFPB: A collection of videos by Dr Greger and other WFPB doctors focused on prostate cancer.
• Colon Cancer & WFPB: Are colon cancer and food choices inter-related? Yes! Dr Greger explains that food choices affect the bacteria in our guts — our microbiome. High intake of animal products, which results in a low fiber diet, is associated with poor gut health and colon cancer.

Videos by other docs:

• Dr Kristi Funk: Breast Cancer: Dr Kristi Funk is a breast cancer surgeon in California who also treated celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow. In 2018, she wrote the book 'Breasts: The Owners Manual' in which she emphasizes a Whole Food Plant-Based diet.
• Prof Jane Plant: Breast Cancer: Prof Jane Plant (1945-2016) was a Professor of Geochemistry at Imperial College, London. She was diagnosed with breast cancer several times in her life. Each time, she says that she was able to bring it into remission by adopting Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) guidelines. In her writings, she lays special emphasis on the 'no dairy' guideline.
• Radical Remission: Kelly Turner: Radical Remission by Kelly Turner PhD is a fascinating book. She studied 1,000 reports of radical remission of cancer and interviewed about 100 of them to identify factors that were common to all these cases. The list of 9 factors that she identified is insightful.

Cancer fighting foods:

• Which Foods Protect Us From Cancer? A summary.
• Phytates & Cancer: Phytates are found in grains, beans, nuts & seeds. What's remarkable about phytates? Dr Greger explains how they help us fight cancer through multiple pathays!
• Berries & Cancer: A collection of Dr Greger videos summarizing research into berries and cancer. I found some of these videos remarkable!
• Fruits, Vegetables & Cancer: Are there specific fruits or vegetables, or broad classes of fruits and vegetables that can help us fight cancer? A collection of videos by Dr Greger.
• Nuts, Seeds & Cancer: Which nuts & seeds are known to protect us against cancer. I discovered that flax seeds, fenugreek, walnuts, pecans and peanuts outshine others.
• Aspirin & Cancer: A key phytonutrient in aspirin — salicylic acid — has been found to protect us from cancer. Some researchers have proposed that salicylic acid be called 'Vitamin S!'

Cancer fighting foods from Asian cultures:

• Turmeric & Cancer: Turmeric is believed to have remarkable cancer fighting properties!
• Soy & Cancer: Whole Food Plant-Based doctors unanimously agree that soy foods are health promoting! Multiple WFPB advocates have written articles and prepared videos explaining the relationship between soy and cancer.
• Mushrooms & Cancer: Why do Asian women get less breast cancer? Mushrooms seem to play a significant role.
• Green Tea & Cancer: Through Dr Greger's videos, I learnt about remarkable properties of green tea in prevention and treatment of cancer! Videos like these inspired me to start consuming green tea regularly.
• Seaweed & Cancer: Seaweed is associated with lower rates of breast cancer in some Asian populations.

What to avoid?

• Alcohol & Cancer: Alcohol is an IARC Group 1 Carcinogen! Which means 'sufficient evidence in humans' and 'causality established'.

Mammograms & Colonoscopies: Dr Greger posted a 14-part video series in 2018: Mammograms. He has a couple of videos on colonoscopies — see Colonoscopies.
