HOW FOOD GROWS CANCER
![Page 21: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Three Stages of Cancer Growth
1. Seeds
2. Grow
3. Out of Control
![Page 22: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1. Initiation (Seeds)
The cancer seeds are known as carcinogens. They enter your body through the everyday harmful chemicals that you let in through air, water and food.
![Page 23: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. Initiation (Seeds)
“[Initiation] is the time required for the chemical carcinogen to be consumed, absorbed into the blood, transported into the cells, changed into its active product, bonded to DNA and passed on to the daughter cells. When the new daughter cells are formed, the process is complete.” [49]
“The entire stage [of initiation] can take place in a short period of time, even minutes.”
![Page 24: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Promotion (The Seeds Grow)
Just like seeds in the soil, the initial cancer cells will not grow and multiply unless the right conditions are met. The seeds in the soil (for example) need a healthy amount of water, sunlight and other nutrients before they become a full lawn. [50]
![Page 25: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. Progression (Cancer Grows Out of Control)
This is the stage that we “discover” that we have cancer. Prevention is over, it’s time to treat the cancer with a doctor’s prescriptions and therapy.
![Page 26: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3. Progression (Cancer Grows Out of Control)
“Progression begins when a bunch of advanced cancer cells progress in their growth until they have done their final damage. It is like the fully-grown lawn invading everything around it: the garden, driveway and sidewalk. When the cancer takes on these deadly properties, it is considered malignant [50].”
![Page 27: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Takeaway: There are 3 Stages of Cancer Growth
There are three stages of cancer growth: initiation, promotion, and progression.
![Page 28: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Takeaway: There are 3 Stages of Cancer Growth
There are three stages of cancer growth: initiation, promotion, and progression.
The first and second stages are preventable. The third stage kills you.

THE CHINA STUDY: FOUR EXPERIMENTS
![Page 30: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
EXPERIMENT #1: DOES PROTEIN INTAKE AFFECT CANCER INITIATION?
![Page 31: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Enzyme Activity
![Page 34: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
“Enzyme activity could be easily modified
simply by changing the level of protein
intake [52]”
![Page 35: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
EXPERIMENT #2: DOES PROTEIN INTAKE AFFECT CANCER PROMOTION?
![Page 36: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
EXPERIMENT #2: DOES PROTEIN INTAKE AFFECT CANCER INITIATION?
Animals fed higher-protein (20%) produced substantially more foci, while animals fed lower-protein (5%) produced substantially less foci. [56]
![Page 37: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
![Page 38: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Foci: precursor clusters of cells that grow into
tumors. Although most foci do not become
full-blown tumor cells, they are predictive of
tumor development. [54]
![Page 39: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“One idea seemed to be clear: lower protein intake dramatically decreased tumor
initiation [53]”
![Page 40: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
EXPERIMENT #3
WHICH WOULD CAUSE MORE CANCER GROWTH?
VS.
![Page 41: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
![Page 42: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The experiment here showed that a higher dose of Aflatoxin (remember that’s the carcinogen), and a lower protein intake, resulted in lower foci (tumor clusters).

A SIGNIFICANT FINDING
![Page 44: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Foci developed only when the animals met or exceeded the amount of protein (12%) needed to satisfy their body growth rate. That is, when the animals met and surpassed their requirements for protein, disease onset began [58].

THE BIG PAYOFF
![Page 51: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
“For all of the experiments so far, T Colin Campbell was using casein (mostly protein from cow’s milk) as the main protein he was testing.
So the next logical question… was whether plant protein (as opposed to animal protein), tested in the same way, has the same effect on cancer as
casein [59].”
![Page 52: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

“Gluten, the protein of wheat, did not produce the same result as casein, even when fed at the same 20% level. [59]”
![Page 57: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The main takeaway: Nutrients from animal-based foods increased tumor development while nutrients from plant-based foods decreased tumor development.

ONE SENTENCE “Eat a whole food, plant-based diet , while
minimizing the consumption of refined
foods, added salt and added fats.”
![Page 65: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
3 SMALL STEPS
1. Eat Plants: eat the rainbow, as many colors as close to their natural state as possible
2. Eat less animal protein: less meat, fish, eggs and milk
3. Avoid processed foods: less sugars, starchy carbohydrates and vitamin supplement
![Page 66: The China study and Plant Based Protein - NYC Vegetarian Food Festival 2015](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9b1db760da3da068bc527/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
GIVE IT ONE MONTH

1. You’ll discover new foods
2. You’ll feel better
3. You’ll find it’s easier than you thought.
