China Study: Buried "The Second Report of McGovern"

Japan, a nation of cancer, and a warning about diet

Unfortunately, modern Japan is in a situation known as a "major cancer power." According to a statement by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, one in two Japanese people is likely to suffer from cancer in their lifetime, which is a very high figure even among developed countries. Cancer was once feared as an "incurable disease", but although advances in medical technology have made it possible to detect and treat early, it still ranks among the top causes of death among Japanese people. The number of these 1 in 2 clearly shows that cancer is no longer a problem for others, but is a disease that is deeply involved in each of us life.

Why is the number of cancer patients increasing in Japan? It is believed that the causes are diverse, including genetic factors, lifestyle habits, and environmental pollution, but in recent years it has been strongly pointed out that its relationship to diet. In particular, research results have been published showing that overdose of animal protein may promote cancer growth, attracting great attention.

This article focuses on the relationship between cancer and diet, and will explain in detail the effects of animal proteins on cancer, as well as the health benefits of a diet that focuses on plant foods, based on multiple research examples.

1. Animal proteins that control cancer: Dr. Campbell's mouse experiment

When discussing the relationship between cancer and diet, the research by Dr. Colin Campbell from Cornell University is unavoidable. Dr. Campbell has been researching the relationship between nutrition and cancer over the years. Among the research, the most notable experiments using mice are experiments.

Dr. Campbell had a strong interest in a research conducted in India. It suggested that intake of casein, an animal protein, could affect cancer cell growth. So, to verify the research, Dr. Campbell conducted his own experiments using mice.

The experiment was simple: half of the mice were fed with 20% casein and the other half were fed with 5% casein. After 12 weeks, we got some amazing results. Mice receiving 20% ​​casein, early cancer cells proliferated rapidly, whereas mice receiving 5% casein showed no signs of cancer.

Shocked by this result, Dr. Campbell conducted an even more in-depth experiment. This time, the experiment involves alternating casein intake between 5% and 20% every three weeks. This revealed that cancer cells grow when ingested 20% of casein, and cancer cells decrease when ingested 5%, making it possible to control the increase or decrease in cancer cells just like a switch.

This result led Dr. Campbell to conclude that simply adjusting animal protein intake could potentially control cancer cell growth. He warned, "This can be said not only in animal experiments, but in normal diets. Although experiments use high concentrations of carcinogens, overdose of animal protein can promote cancer even in normal diets."

Furthermore, Dr. Campbell said, "Even if you're on a vegetarian diet, you won't be under protein. Even a low-protein potato or rice can supplement the protein you need." He argued that the interactions of genes, chemicals and nutrients are factors that promote cancer, and even if there are family or chemical mutations that are genetically prone to cancer, whether or not they actually develop cancer depends on their ability to control cancer cells. He also pointed out that animal proteins are likely to play a role in promoting the growth of these cancer cells.

Dr. Campbell's research supports the view that cancer is extremely rare because of genetic factors alone. He says, "The general agreement is that in the biochemistry, genetic cancers are less than 2%." After that, Dr. Campbell expanded his research and tested it using a variety of animals and nutrients, but the results consistently state that animal foods promote cancer and plant foods suppress cancer.

2. China's largest cancer survey in history, regional differences between diet and cancer

Another important event was in parallel with Dr. Campbell's research. It is the largest cancer survey ever conducted by China's President Zhou Enlai after his own bladder cancer.

In 1974, President Zhou was hospitalized with terminal bladder cancer. To overcome this situation, President Zhou ordered a nationwide survey to gather information about cancer. The study attracted 650,000 researchers to investigate cancer mortality rates across China over two years. The population covered by this population amounted to over 880 million people. This large-scale investigation continued even after President Zhou passed away, and was extremely important in clarifying the relationship between cancer and diet.

The study revealed that cancer mortality rates vary widely from region to region. In particular, in esophageal cancer, there were areas where the difference in mortality rate was 400 times greater. This difference is surprising given that in the United States, regional differences in cancer mortality rates are at most twice as large.

The person who noticed this result was Dr. Chang from the China Centers for Diseases. Dr. Chang was a member of the Chinese Food and Nutrition at the time, and was one of the first senior researchers to move to America as the Cold War was approached. He met Dr. Campbell at Cornell University and began collaborative research.

Looking at President Zhou's cancer death map, Dr. Chang wondered, "Why do cancer prevalence rates differ so different regions when they are both Chinese and should be genetically similar?" He thought the factors were due to the environment, particularly the diet, and called on Dr. Campbell to investigate.

3. The birth of the joint survey and China Study between Dr. Campbell and Dr. Chan

For Dr. Campbell, his collaboration with Dr. Chan was a great opportunity to examine his previous research findings on a large scale. This is because the results of liver cancer surveys in children in the Philippines and mouse experiments can be compared with data from across China.

This is how the joint investigation between Dr. Campbell and Dr. Chan, known as the "China Study," began. The study examined the dietary habits of over 6,500 people in 65 regions, using as many as 367 dietary content and health-related variables. The reason why the survey was conducted in rural areas is that rural people have settled in their homes and have continued to eat similarly for 20 to 30 years. The study also included samples of urine and blood, and detailed analysis was performed.

The analysis of the data began in 1983 for several years, and the results were surprising. Over the course of 10 years, Dr. Campbell and his friends analyzed a huge amount of data and compiled it into a book called China Study. There, more than 9,400 cases had proven a link between diet and illness.

4. What we learned from China Study: The close relationship between vegetarian diet and health

The conclusions drawn by China Study were very simple. This means that "a diet that mainly consumes grains, vegetables and fruits is associated with lower mortality rates from several types of cancer, stroke and coronary artery disease." In other words, large-scale data has proven that diets that focus on plant-based foods are extremely important for maintaining health.

The New York Times described the study as "the biggest survey of history that exposes the relationship between diet and disease progression." Dr. Campbell was able to get scientific evidence by seeing the congruence between his findings and large-scale data. Finally, it has been clearly understood that "vegetarian foods are good for the health and animal foods are bad for the health."

China Study reveals that diet is deeply involved in many lifestyle-related diseases, including cancer, and strongly urges us to rethink our diet. Avoiding overdose of animal foods and switching to a diet centered on plant foods is a very important option for preventing cancer and living a healthy life.

Summary: Improving your diet is the key to overcoming cancer

This article focuses on the relationship between cancer and diet, and has explained in detail the possibility that an overdose of animal protein can promote cancer, and the health benefits of a diet centered on plant-based foods, based on research examples such as Dr. Campbell's mouse experiments and China Study. These findings suggest that diet may be deeply involved in cancer development, and urge us to rethink our diet.

Of course, cancer is not a single cause. Genetic and environmental factors are also involved, and not all cancers can be prevented simply by improving your diet. However, avoiding overdose of animal foods and actively intake of plant foods is a very important choice in preventing cancer and maintaining health.

We are currently undergoing a major turning point. Now that cancer has become a national illness, we need to deeply understand the cause and take action to protect our own health through improving our diet. We hope that this article will help readers to rethink their diet and will be a step towards living a healthier and more fulfilling life.
