From this video, here's a very interesting quote from "JustAnotherVegan" in reference to Ketones Feeding Cancer.

"Actually, multiple studies have reported the ability of cancer cells to uptake and utilize ketone bodies:
"Ketone body utilization drives tumor growth and metastasis." Martinez-Outschoorn et al.
"Ketones and lactate 'fuel' tumor growth and metastasis" Bonuccelli et al.
"Ketone body utilization by breast and prostate tumors" Authier et al.
Saying they (Cancer) only live off sugar is false."  (JustAnotherVegan 3/13/2013)

McDougall Interview with Dr. Roy Swank, MD on Multiple Sclerosis

http://www.drmcdougall.com/res_swank.html

Here's a quote from the link -

"At the University of Oregon, we found that patients who adopted a very low-fat diet, following an early diagnosis of MS, had a 95% chance of remaining free from further disability. When we compared our patients, after 35 years; the group who strictly followed a low-fat diet had a death rate of 31%. They not only avoided death from MS, but also death from heart and other diseases. Those who followed a high-fat diet had a death rate of about 80%." (Emphasis Added)


Too Many Carbs???

Here are a quote from this excellent Blog -

"All of these organizations make these recommendations in favor of eating more plants (carbohydrates) and less animal products (fat and protein) because, so far, we don't have any high quality data supporting the claim that low carbohydrate, flesh-based diets have similar effects to plant-based diets.  On the contrary, the preponderance of evidence, most of it produced by people who have not declared any commitment to animal rights, points in the direction of the conclusion that meat-based low carbohydrate diets promote the major causes of death."

Traditional Diets in Asia Pacific and Implications for Health, and the History of Disease Prevention

http://healthylongevity.blogspot.com/2012/11/traditional-diets-in-asia-pacific-and.html

You certainly can develop Atherosclerosis on a Low Carb Meat Based Diet without ever touching a morsel of modern processed food.

A few quotes from one of my favorite blogs -

"previously reviewed the health of a number of primitive populations, including evidence from numerous preserved Inuit (Eskimo) mummies that predate western contact, demonstrating that without consuming a morsel of modern processed food throughout their entire lifetimes, the traditional Inuit developed atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, breast cancer and numerous other chronic and degenerative diseases that are evidently partly explained by their carnivorous diet. " (Emphasis Added)


"In 1949, a government survey found that in Okinawa, known to have the highest concentration of centenarians in the world, the population consumed about 85% of their total energy intake from carbohydrates, with the staple at the time being the sweet potato. The dietary survey also showed that the Okinawans derived about 9% of their energy intake from protein and less than 4% of energy from all sources of animal foods combined (Table 1).10 These findings were largely consistent with previous dietary surveys dating back to 1879 and 1919." (Emphasis Added)

This Blogger's Current Diet Experiment – Surprising Weight Loss!

http://resolvingthecontroversies.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/my-current-diet-experiment-surprising-weight-loss/

Here's a quote from the blog -

"Except that I LIKE EATING THIS WAY! Who’da thought?!
In order to achieve my current diet goal objectives, I’m eating
    • 40% of calories as beans and veggies
    • 40% of calories from ultra high oleic acid fats
 It blows my mind that unless I can be eating New York steaks, beans and veggies are actually far tastier than dried up, unappealing animal flesh with the fat removed.
And, it blows my mind that counter to the current low-carb diet “wisdom”, a higher carb, bean/veggie based diet is producing more satiety and thus capable of sustaining greater weight loss. Or more effortless weight maintainence. It saddens me no end to affirm what Tim Ferris was reporting in his 4 hour diet book about “slow carbs”. (I don’t know why I don’t like Harris; he just rubs me the wrong way.)
So, in a nut shell, it’s true, at least for me. Very slow digesting carbs keep me so full I do not think about food for hours and my weight has fallen off without me intending for it to do that." (Emphasis Added)

"The Protein Industry Is Filled With Brilliant Marketing Experts Whose Job Has 1 Purpose... To Make Us Protein-Obsessed Lunatics (And In Just A Minute - I'll Tell You Why)

WATCHING DR. OZ MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH

http://www.plantpositive.com/blog/2013/1/26/watching-dr-oz-may-be-hazardous-to-your-health.html

Here are some quotes from the link -

"Typical of the low-carb promoters, they confuse the 1970 Seven Countries Study of Ancel Keys with his 1953 lecture and paper and completely mischaracterize both. Predictably, they blame heart disease on sugar and reimagine John Yudkin as a hero of diet-heart. Watch the three segments Dr. Oz handed over to these two and you’ll see he gave a full endorsement of their reckless, poorly researched, and biased claims, including the false assertion that large LDLs cannot contribute to atherosclerosis. (Emphasis Added)

"I am only one person but I’ve done a lot. I have provided all the evidence anyone needs to understand the truth about cholesterol. One can no longer claim that the science is too contradictory or confusing. Those with the most influence like Mehmet Oz need to educate themselves, accept reality, and stop harming people."

Chemotherapy

http://www.cancerinform.org/chemotherapy.html

Here are some quotes from the link -


""Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy."
-Dr. Alan Levin
A six- or twelve-month course of chemotherapy not only is a very unpleasant experience but also has its own intrinsic mortality...treatments now avert...perhaps 2 or 3 percent...of the 400,000 deaths from cancer that occur each year in the U.S."
- Prof John Cairns

Scientific American, 1985"

"In an article entitled "Chemotherapy: Snake-Oil Remedy?" that appeared in The Los Angeles Times of January 9, 1987, Dr. Martin F. Shapiro explained that while "some oncologists inform their patients of the lack of evidence that treatments work...others may well be misled by scientific papers that express unwarranted optimism about chemotherapy. Still others respond to an economic incentive. Physicians can earn much more money running active chemotherapy practices than they can providing solace and relief...to dying patients and their families." 

Dr. Shapiro is hardly alone. Alan C. Nixon, PhD, Past President of the American Chemical Society wrote that "As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good."  (Emphasis Added)

The Battle against the Cancer Industry

The Battle against the Cancer Industry

Here are some quotes from the link -

"Most people accept the concept of chemotherapy unquestioningly, afraid to depart from conventional thinking. Dr. Ulrich Abel declared chemotherapy to be a “scientific wasteland,” and found that “at least 80% of chemotherapy administered throughout the world is worthless—but neither doctor nor patient is willing to give up on chemotherapy, even though there is no scientific evidence that it works.”
Dr. Gregory Foltz discovered that oncologists have been targeting the wrong cells in the treatment of brain cancer. Cancer stem cells cause the growth of cancer cells, and stem cells resist chemotherapy. Dr. Foltz explains that this is why “standard cancer treatments so often fail: those therapies target the wrong cells.” (Enphasis Added)

"A survey of oncologists at McGill University Cancer Center found that 75% would refuse any type of chemotherapy, citing the “ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity.”
A study conducted by Harvard researcher John Cairns showed that chemotherapy is “somewhat effective in only 2–3% of cancer patients, primarily those with the rarest kinds of cancer.”" (Emphasis Added)

Lipids, Inflammation, and Atherosclerosis

Evidence for the Lipid Hypothesis: Review of Ignore the Awkward : Is Dr. Ravnskov als...: OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE 1. Michael Brown and Joseph Goldstein discovered that the number of functional LDL receptors on the surface of cells...

Here's one of my favorite quotes from this excellent Blog -

"6. Atherosclerosis can be induced in a great variety of animal species including vegetarian and carnivore species (e.g. insects, birds, cats, dogs, non-human primates etc.) by raising serum cholesterol high enough and maintaining it long enough. Atherosclerosis can also be reversed by lowering TC enough and maintaining it long enough. The lipid deposits and foam cells disappeared but some fibrous tissue remained. Some species, such as the dog and rat, do not get elevated TC from a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol. But when a way was found to elevate their TC they also developed atherosclerosis. This is so consistent no matter which species is tested that it appears to be a scientific law that elevated LDL can cause atherosclerosis.' (Emphasis Added)

Here's another quote from the Blog -

"12. In Chapter 3, Dr. Ravnskov was not thinking clearly when he tells us that people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) live just as long as others. In the study he cites to make this claim
it clearly says that the FH patients were taking statins.  3)" (Emphasis Added)

In Defense Of Starch – Glucose isn’t the bad guy.

A very nice blog. She does a good job in debunking Gary Taubes.

http://mariamaestevens.com/2012/10/25/in-defense-of-starch-glucose-isnt-the-bad-guy/

Here's a quote from the link -

"But before I enter the scene of glucose metabolism, I’d like to breeze over a few of Taube’s conclusions, so you’ll get a feel for my incredulity:

  • Dietary fat of any type is not a cause of obesity of metabolic syndrome.  I argue it is half-responsible.
  • The problem is the carbohydrates in the diet due to their effect on insulin secretion.  The more easily digested the carb, the worse this effect is.  Not all carbs are created equal.  This is an unfair blanket statement.
  • Sugars–sucrose and HFCS–are particularly harmful because the combo of fructose and glucose raises insulin and floods the liver with carbs.  This is more to the point, but a slight mis-statement.
  • Through their direct effect on insulin and blood sugar, refined “fast carbs” are thedietary cause of metabolic syndrome–and the most likely cause of cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other chronic diseases of civilization.  Again, not all carbs are created equal.  Also, I doubt carbs cause cancer, but cellular fuel might reasonably help grow cancer.
  • Obesity is a disorder of excess fat accumulation, not overeating or sedentary behavior (energy balance).  I beg to differ.  Ask any post-collegiate 20-something how much weight they gained after getting their first desk job.
  • Consuming excess calories does not cause us to grow fatter.  Caloric deficits do not lead to long-term weight loss; it leads to hunger.  I can prove to you that consuming excess calories causes me to grow fatter.  Am I some kind of exception?
  • Fattening and obesity are caused by an imbalance in the hormonal regulation of adipose tissue and fat metabolism.  I agree with this idea, but it is not a comprehensive cause of fattening.
  • Insulin is the primary regulator of fat storage.  When insulin is high, we store fat.  When it falls, we release fat.  Agreed, mostly.  But this is contingent on energy balance and replete glycogen stores.
  • By stimulating insulin secretion, carbs make us fat and ultimately cause obesity.  The fewer carbs we consume, the leaner we will be.  How do you account for whole foods vegans who follow diets of 10% fat?  They eat starch all day long and don’t get fat.
  • By driving fat accumulation, carbs also increase hunger and decrease the amount of energy we expend in metabolism and physical activity.  There’s some backstory to this.  But carbs also contribute to satiety by raising blood sugar and elevating serotonin.
Wow.  That’s some list.   And my comments followed in bold.  So now let’s dig a little deeper by understanding different carbs."


Good Calories, Bad Calories: A Critical Review (part 1)

This is one of the more impressive reviews of "Good calories, Bad Calories". This excellent blog debunks Gary Taubes research.

http://thescienceofnutrition.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/good-calories-bad-calories-a-critical-review/

Here's a quote from the link -

"Lies, Damned Lies, and Gary Taubes
I honestly did not expect to find near as many misleading quotes, misrepresentation of studies, or outright fabrication as I did in Good Calories, Bad Calories. I mean Taubes writes for The New York Times for Christ’s sake – arguably the most prestigious and most influential newspaper in the history of the world.
Nearly every single time I bothered to check a reference made in Good Calories, Bad Calories I found that Taubes had at best taken something out of context or at worst completely misrepresented a study. Not kidding. Here are a few examples beginning with the more anodyne." (Emphasis Added)

Setting the record straight Vegetables have plenty of protein, and they're complete proteins as well.

This is one of my favorite websites on Protein. Michael Bluejay does an Excellent Job.

http://michaelbluejay.com/veg/protein.html


Here's a quote from this excellent link -



"There's a very easy way to see the completeness of plant proteins, that most nutrition writers haven't bothered to do: Look at what's actually in the food!  It's not like this is a secret; that data has been publicly available from the USDA for decades, and now the USDA's database is even online.4.1  Below is what it looks like when you actually look up the numbers.

Vegetables are complete proteins

Amino acid >
Isoleu-
cine
Leucine
Lysine
Phenylalaline
+Tyrosine
Methionine
Threonine
Tryptophan
Valine
Histidine
Need









Brown Rice
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Green Peppers
Corn
Lettuce (iceberg)
Celery
Cucumbers
Oats
Carrots
Broccoli
Pinto Beans
Amino acid need from the World Health Organization4, food composition from the USDA nutrient database4.1.
Analysis is for each individual food all supplying calorie needs (closest to the "low active" category for a 5'11" 181lb. 25BMI male, as per the FDA).3
So when we compare the actual requirements to what plant foods actually contain, we find that basic plant foods aren't incomplete at all.  They have every essential amino acid, in excess of what we need.  It might not surprise you that beans are a complete protein by themselves, but even carrots are a complete protein.  Tomatoes are a complete protein.  Celery is a complete protein.  Even iceberg lettuce is a complete protein.
(Those who would object that we can't eat enough lettuce to satisfy our protein needs are wildly missing the point.  The point of using a day's worth of calories for a single food is simply to show how the food measures up, not to suggest that anyone could or should eat only a single food.  These plant foods are complete no matter how much or how little of them you eat.  That is, if only 1% of your diet is lettuce, then lettuce supplies more than 1% of your protein and amino acid requirements.)
Interestingly, the amounts for "Need" in the table are twice what they were until recentlyThe original recommendations in the WHO's 1973 and 1985 reports were based on William Rose's pioneering work in the 1950's, and were considerably lower.6  Rose determined the levels needed by his subjects by intentionally feeding them diets with a synthetic mixture of declining levels of amino acids until they became deficient.  After finding the highest amount needed by any subject, he then doubled that figure to arrive at his recommendation.7  And the current WHO recommendations have doubled their earlier figures again.  And even with all these increases, individual plants still measure up as fully complete."
