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?
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!
A surprisingly large percentage of cancer incidence may be attributed to lifestyle factors like alcohol, smoking, diet & exercise!
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?
