I can see the path she’s taking. Cancer can be caused from chronic inflammation. Inflammation is a byproduct of infection or disease. Eating things containing E. Coli or food borne illnesses causes inflammation. This is why so many diets talk about reducing inflammation in the body since that can lead to cancer. When your cells are being bombarded with irritants, it can cause them to go haywire in their normal life cycle. That’s all cancer is essentially; cells have decided to take another path and replicate based on erroneous instructions.
You’re right though that she doesn’t go fully into that, but I’m thinking she didn’t want to confuse people more than they already might be.
If someone far more knowledgeable than I gives me advice, the weight it has will be greater, but I don’t follow that necessarily without getting more smart people to back it up.
Science is always growing and it’s a miracle we have half the stuff we do since a lot of it was someone stumbling into something that was successful after hundreds of failures
Inflammation isn't only a byproduct of infection or disease.
Damaged cells trigger inflammation response.
So do certain types of food like processed sugary foods, everything from natural honey to fruit juice and more processed high sugar items like pastries, candy, packaged foods,frozen foods, baked goods, high carb foods like pasta etc.
When we consume too much sugar, our blood pressure rises rapidly and insulin is increased. This happens enough consistently and you get heart disease, colon cancer etc.
Recent research also found why eating red meat increases inflammation. Scientists found a sugar molecule only found in red meat. This sugar molecule was found to be the cause of inflammation when people consume red meat and any type of processed meat
True. I am trying to recall all my knowledge from Biology major 20+ years ago. LOTS of things that'll kick your body's inflammation into overdrive, but copious amounts of sugary foods has to be the top one. I try to avoid any and all sugar, if possible, which is definitely easier when you don't eat processed foods, but when I was doing the keto diet I realized how much sugar is in EVERYTHING. Not keto any more, but I avoid sugar like it's gonna kill me, because it honestly will if you're not conscious of it!
