A Plant-based diet is proven to reduce the risk of cancer, prevent and reverse cancer

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

• Lower rates of cancer and all cause mortality in an Adventist cohort compared with a US Census population 

​

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

• Meat consumption and risk of breast cancer in the UK Women's Cohort Study 

​

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.

• Red and processed meat consumption and breast cancer: UK Biobank cohort study and meta-analysis. 

​

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.

• Low Protein Intake Is Associated With a Major Reduction in IGF-1, Cancer, and Overall Mortality in the 65 and Younger but Not Older Population

​

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.

• Red and processed meat, nitrite, and heme iron intakes and postmenopausal breast cancer risk in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. 

​

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

• Vegetarian, Vegan Diets and Multiple Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

​

• Research studies include: 

  • Vegan diet confers lower risk for overall and female-specific cancer than other dietary patterns. Vegan diets showed statistically significant protection for overall cancer incidence (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.72-0.99) in both genders combined and for female-specific cancers (HR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.47-0.92).   Vegetarian Diets and the Incidence of Cancer in a Low-Risk Population 

  • Lower rates of cancer and all cause mortality in an Adventist cohort compared with a US Census population 

  • Vegan diets showed a statistically significant protective association with prostate cancer risk (HR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.85)​
