Shirley, I have not heard about blood groups relating to veganism, but I am going to look into that...very interesting!
I like that you mentioned the importance of avoiding putting chemicals into your body... that is so important to our health and the health of our children!

Jeff, did you read the title? It's slashing cancer RISK!!! Risk! We are not talking about if there already IS cancer there, as you will find out in a screening. We want to prevent cancer. Once you find it out in a screening, it is already there and you may be done for already. Diane Kahl, I was the one who wrote at the beginning of this thread about the fungal cause of cancer. Alcohol is one of the strongest mycotoxins by fermentation that you can ingest. But if you insist on drinking and want to make it a woman's rights issue, that is your choice. I don't like to see the women or men in my life drink. I want them healthy and alive. Diane, does that make me a male chauvenist?

You left out the #1 best cancer-aware behavior. GET SCREENING. Most cancers that kill are the under-detected ones.
Stay safe and do obvious things but yearly checks are mission critical to a longer life. Stay safe with love from CTNGREEN

I disagree with the alcohol factor in cancers, believe it is more fear-based bullshit to keep women in their place. I am a runner of 45 years, a vegetarian of 20 years, and I drink 2 -- yes -- 2 glasses of wine a night and will continue to do so until the grave.

And you know what? I bet it's not cancer I will die of either!!!!!

Can I just ask...I have read a book about blood groups & studies carried out by a naturopath suggests that not everyone benefits from being vegetarian. Blood group O's infact become very sick if eating a grain, bean diet & have to avoid grains except for gluten free & should eat more of lean red meats, fish, organic chicken etc for a higher protein diet.

I was a vegan for many years & my grandmothers sister has written books in Sweden on it, but I was sick on it. I tried the blood group diet as well as food combining & cutting out cheese, dairy, sugar, white products & focussed on soaked nuts, seeds, lean meats (organic in all), and RAW FOODS, SMOOTHIES & SOME ORGANIC VEGETABLE JUICES as well as gluten free grains & brown rice.

I don't think being a vegan is suitable for everyone although it is more humane to be vegan. I eat meat but love animals so if I was in the wild I wouldn't be able to kill an animal but in society I do eat organic meats, chickens that are free range etc.

I think the most important thing is don't put chemicals into the body, avoid processed foods, eat natural foods & fermented products to increase good bacteria in the gut, & to incorporate good living / lifestyle practises & spend time in the sunshine (not too much) & in nature as well as having good relationships with others & with whatever you call god / the universe etc. Practise compassion to all living things & loving yourself too.

I agree, Jera! Being vegan really does reduce your risk for cancer, not to mention many other diseases. I've greatly enjoyed being a vegan for the past 18 years--I wouldn't trade the delicious food for anything, either!

For anyone wanting a few good vegan recipes, check out my blog (www.rhiw.blogspot.com) or website (www.radianthealth-innerwealth.com)--they both have several recipes from my 2nd edition of "Radiant Health, Inner Wealth." (a comprehensive guide for inner and outer wellness, with almost 250 recipes)

I really love this site--keep up the great articles like this one! And try some new vegan recipes if you're so inclined--you might be surprised at how delicious healthy food can be!

I just discovered a great new cancer book. www.reversingcancer.com

Even if you don't buy it just watch the short video from the doc who wrote it.

This is cool, good article. I'd just like to add to the 'eat less or no red meat' tip, that not eating chickens, rabbits (any kind of meat), chickens eggs, and animal's milk will lessen your risk of ANY type of kind of cancer, your overall health, benefit the environment immensely, AND the well being and welfare of animals. So what are waiting for? Consider being a vegan!
