Cancer-Fighting Power You Can See

Cancer-Fighting Power You Can See 

In 2002, researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles reported
a series of unusual experiments that demonstrated the power of diet and
exercise. They drew blood samples from a group of eight men who had
been following a low-fat diet and exercising regularly for several years.
They also drew blood samples from overweight men who were not following
the diet and exercise program. They added portions of each man’s
blood serum to test tubes containing standardized prostate cancer cells.
Serum from men on the low-fat diet and exercise program slowed cancer
cell growth by 49 percent compared to serum from the other men. How
could this be? Differences in testosterone, estrogen, and insulin account for
part of the effect, but other changes in the blood exert additional effects the
researchers have not yet teased out.7 The research team also found that a
man’s serum shows demonstrable cancer-inhibiting power within as little as
eleven days after beginning a low-fat diet and exercise regimen.8
