A plant-based diet reduces the risk of cancer and improves cancer survival rates.

​

Plant foods contain fiber, which helps remove waste from the digestive system and excess hormones that could lead to colorectal, breast and prostate cancer.  Additionally, the pigments that give fruits and vegetables their bright colors - like beta-carotene in carrots or lycopene in tomatoes - help fight cancer.

​

Consumption of processed meat or red meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and overall cancer mortality

​

The process of grilling meat, including chicken and fish, produces carcinogens. 

Dairy animal protein consumption is linked to higher prostate, ovarian, and breast cancer rates.

​

Individuals aged 50-65 reporting high animal protein intake have a 75% increase in overall mortality and a 4-fold increase in cancer death risk during the following 18 years.

​

The National Institutes of Health followed 500,000 people ages 50-71 for 10 years. People in the higher 25% of red meat intake had elevated risks for overall cancer mortality.

​

Overall, a plant-based diet leads to a statistically significant reduced risk (-15%) of incidence from total cancer.

Methodology

There is an overwhelming volume of research to substantiate the detrimental effects of animal consumption and the benefits of a plant-based diet.  We have included an abbreviated list of peer reviewed research articles as well as those by leading institutions.  We have excluded industry-funded research articles (or at least listed as having industry funding or if a primary author has an industry affiliation). Please let us know if you see a lapse or additional research we should include.
