“For example, white adipose tissue has been associated with inflammation, and in breast cancer patients, has been associated with worse prognosis. Fat exists both under the skin and deeper inside the body surrounding internal organs (called visceral fat).”

“The study looked at 66,280 in Hong Kong and also found the same amount of exposure to particulate matter was associated with an 80% increased risk of mortality from breast cancer, 42% increased risk of mortality from cancer in the upper digestive tract, 36% increased risk of dying of lung cancer.”

“While this data is very interesting and in line with many other associative studies... to definitively prove that the link that vitamin D and breast cancer survival is causal, randomized clinical trials vitamin D supplementation vs placebo would be necessary.”

“The difference in cancer rates between groups did not reach statistical significance. However, blood levels of vitamin D were significantly lower (32 ng/ml) in women who developed cancer compared to women that did not get cancer and had higher vitamin D levels (42 ng/ml).”

“[...] > "In this paper we demonstrate that cancer cells are much less efficient in removing hydrogen peroxide than normal cells. Thus, cancer cells are much more prone to damage and death from a high amount of hydrogen peroxide," says Buettner [...]”

“Other studies have revealed mechanisms by which the IVC works including the production of hydrogen peroxide which selectively kills cancer cells. Normal cells can detoxify the hydrogen peroxide but cancer cells cannot.”

“For men 70 and older, PSA screening is not recommended due to the greater likelihood of harms outweighing benefits. Sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, may reduce the risk for some types of cancer, including prostate cancer.”

“From the article: > In this study, Lötscher, et al., reported an unexpected magnesium-sensing mechanism allowing T cells to be activated properly. Most importantly, this novel mechanism fine-tunes T-cell immune responses against infection and cancer.”

“The probiotics increased the production of metabolites that are known to protect against cancer, lowered DNA damage and inflammation suggesting that the composition of the gut microbiome may play a role in cancer prevention.”

“FTA: > Following cancer prevention guidelines from the American Cancer Society may modestly reduce your overall risk of developing cancer and have a greater impact on reducing your overall risk of dying early, a study of nearly a half-million Americans has found. Having a healthy body weight and staying active appeared to have the most positive impact.”
