But the fact (if true) that insulin takes 75 minutes to reach the bloodstream doesn't mean that all the food you've eaten has disappeared. Unless he was suggesting that you pig out on carbs for an hour, then throw up.
Garlic and Onions Halve Prostate Cancer Risk Eating plenty of garlic and onions could help men to lower their risk of developing prostate cancer, say researchers from the US National Cancer Institute. The study of 238 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and 471 healthy men revealed that those who ate more than a third of an ounce (10 grammes) of onions, garlic, chives or scallions each day were significantly less likely to be in the group with cancer. What's more, men who ate the most vegetables were 50% less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who are the least. The researchers believe that the prostate-protective benefits could be down to allium - a sulphur-based chemical that gives garlic and onions their distinctive smell. Lead researcher Ann Hsing and her colleagues concluded that the findings provide additional evidence to support the theory that a good diet can reduce the risk of cancer. The authors also pointed out that several other studies suggest that eating garlic and onions can help to reduce the risk of several cancers, including those of the stomach, colon, oesophagus, breast, and lining of the uterus. Gee it just keeps getting worse for Atkins doesn't it
How so? 1 oz of garlic = 9.6g of carbs, 1 oz of onions = 2.46g of carbs. So in the example you gave, consuming 1/3 of an ounce of onion and garlic would result in less than 4 grams of carbohydrates before the deduct for fiber content. Even the induction phase of Atkins allows 20G's of carbs.
UCLA SCIENTISTS REPORT PRITIKIN DIET/EXERCISE PROGRAM KILLS CANCER CELLS UCLA scientists report that 11 days of daily exercise and the Pritikin diet, low in fat and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, induce prostate cancer cells to die. The research, recently published in the journal Cancer Causes and Control (Vol 13: 929) is the first to show that diet and exercise can kill prostate cancer cells. âYou can make changes in a short period of time that have a dramatic impact on your health â in this case, on the growth and death of prostate cancer cells,â said R. James Barnard, professor of physiological science at UCLA and lead investigator on the study. Barnard and UCLA colleagues studied two groups of men: 14 obese men, ages 42 to 73, who attended an 11-day diet and exercise program at the Pritikin Longevity Center; and 8 normal-weight men, ages 38 to 74, who have followed the Pritikin Program, which includes regular exercise and a very low-fat, high-fiber diet, for close to 15 years. The researchers collected blood serum samples from the 14 obese men before they began their 11-day Pritikin Program. At UCLA, they mixed the serum samples in dishes with prostate cancer cells. At the end of the 11-day program, they collected a second set of blood samples from the 14 men and mixed them with a second set of prostate cancer cells. With the first set of blood samples, those taken from the men before they began the Pritikin Program, the LNCaP prostate cancer cells grew vigorously in the cell cultures. Fewer than 3% showed apoptosis (programmed cell death). At the conclusion of the 11-day program, the prostate cancer cells grew much more slowly. In fact, almost 40% of the cells were on their way to death. The prostate cancer cells grew even more slowly in the serum from the 8 men who had been following the Pritikin Program for close to 15 years. Furthermore, over 50% of the cells were in the throes of apoptosis, or programmed death. âThat was the finding that made our jaws drop,â Barnard said. âWe donât know yet whether these dramatic changes that occurred to prostate cancer cells cultured in a laboratory will also occur in patients, but we certainly suspect they do, and weâre launching research to find out.â Since 1975, over 70,000 men and women worldwide have attended the lifestyle change programs at the Pritikin Longevity Center, located in Aventura, Florida. The success of the Centerâs one-, two-, and three-week diet and exercise programs has been documented in over 65 peer-reviewed medical journals. Results include: Cholesterol and Triglycerides: Analysis of 4,587 Pritikin participants in the three-week Pritikin Program showed an average 23% drop in total and LDL cholesterol and an average 33% drop in triglycerides. (Archives of Internal Medicine, 151:1389,1991). Diabetes: Among 652 diabetics, 70% on oral agents left the Center free of such medications. 39% of those on insulin left the Center insulin-free. (Diabetes Care, 17: 1469, 1994). High Blood Pressure and Heart Disease Prevention: Within three weeks at the Pritikin Center, 11 obese men normalized blood pressure and showed an average 19% drop in cholesterol, 46% drop in insulin, and 17% drop in glucose. (Circulation, 106: 2530, 2002) Among 268 hypertensives studied, 83% left Pritikin with normal blood pressures and completely off medications. (Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation, 3: 839, 1983). Cancer: Five studies of risk factors for breast, prostate, and colon cancer showed short- and long-term risk factor reductions as a result of adopting the Pritikin Program. (Preventive Medicine, 17: 432, 1988; Nutrition, 7: 137, 1991; Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 86: 1419, 1994; Cancer, 76: 2491, 1995; Nutrition and Cancer, 31: 127, 1998.) THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!
Three Servings of Fruit and Veg Dramatically Cuts Risk of Death People who eat three or more servings of fruit and vegetables a day have a significantly lower risk of dying from stroke, heart disease, and all other causes, say researchers from Tulane University in New Orleans. The study of more than 9,000 adults revealed that people who ate three or more servings of fruit and veg a day were 42% less likely to have a fatal stroke, 27% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease, 24% less likely to die from ischemic heart disease, and 15% less likely to die from all other causes.
