Breast Health & Diet, part 3

Today's subject is about those foods that we, in  alternative health care, believe to be the most problematic when it comes to causing cell breakdown and imbalances.
I'm going to give general categories so you may look into the specifics of any that interest you.

The number one food category that anyone who has a history of breast cancer or who has had any fibroid tumors or mammary gland tumors must NOT eat is:

     Cow's milk dairy, not ever!  Even organic cow's milk dairy is not a good idea because of the large size of the protein molecules that are in dairy cow's milk.  If you  don't have any of the problems mentioned above or have allergies or have any intestinal or symptoms or have any chronic diseases, then, perhaps, once in a while a limited amount of dairy may not be a problem.  I recommend switching to goat's dairy and non-dairy substitutes (not soy), instead.

     Gluten.

     Refined sugar.  Date sugar, coconut palm sugar or stevia are low glycemic index substitutes.

     Processed or packaged foods.  Eat foods that are as close to their natural state, as possible.

     Soda, energy drinks, fruit drinks and caffeine.

     Alcohol in greater quantities than 1-2 ounces a day.

     Beef, pork, fowl, eggs or any other proteins that are not organic....also, not more than 25% of your dietary protein should be from meat sources.

     Soy

I encourage you to eat as anti-inflammatory-like (I just made that up) as possible.  Fresh foods, high quality foods and organic foods are vital to an anti-cancer diet.  Drink mostly water; the rule of thumb is 1/2 of one's weight in ounces:  150 pound person should drink 75 ounces of water a day, spread throughout the day.

I hope that those of you with children, especially girls, will try to eat this way, whenever possible.  It's so important to teach our children by example.
