 REPPED: Consuming processed meats increases the risk of pancreatic cancer, says new research conducted at the University of Hawaii that followed nearly 200,000 men and women for seven years. According to lead study author Ute Nothlings, people who consumed the most processed meats (hot dogs and sausage) showed a 67% increased risk of pancreatic cancer over those who consumed little or no meat products.
But researchers failed to accurately identify the culprit responsible for this increased risk of pancreatic cancer, says one author. |

 Of nearly 80,000 men and women whose diets were studied during 1997-2005, 131 developed pancreatic cancer. Those who drank carbonated or corn-syrup laden drinks even twice a day were 90 percent more likely to contract pancreatic cancer than those who never drank them. Those who added sugar to their foods or beverages at least five times daily had a 70 percent higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer than those who did not.155 Clearly, increased insulin demand due to high sugar consumption burdens the pancreas and increases pancreatic cancer risk. |

| A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that people who consume a large amount of processed sugar each day are at a much higher risk for pancreatic cancer, which kills about 30,000 Americans each year. Of nearly 80,000 men and women whose diets were studied during 1997-2005, 131 developed pancreatic cancer. Those who drank carbonated or corn-syrup laden drinks even twice a day were 90 percent more likely to contract pancreatic cancer than those who never drank them. |

 PANCREATIC CANCER
Although many more people are stricken with cancers of the lung, colon, and breast, pancreatic cancer is a major killer. Most people who are diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas do not live more than six months. This poor survival rate is a result of the cancer's fast progression and a lack of effective treatments. Since treatment is not likely to inhibit pancreatic cancer, prevention is of primary importance. |

 Pancreatic cancer
Another type of cancer that is in desperate need of a cure is pancreatic cancer. Early diagnosis is not common and survival is usually limited to less than six months. A laboratory study using human pancreatic tumor cells indicates that resveratrol has potent abilities to kill off pancreatic tumor cells and say researchers, "is likely to be valuable for the management and prevention of human pancreatic cancer." [Pancreas 25: 71-76, 2002]
6. Lung cancer
"Resveratrol has strong potential for development as an agent for prevention against human lung cancer. |

| When consumers eat sodium nitrite in popular meat products, nitrosamines are formed in the body where they promote the growth of various cancers, including colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer, says Adams.
"Sodium nitrite is a dangerous, cancer-causing ingredient that has no place in the human food supply," he explains. The USDA actually tried to ban sodium nitrite in the 1970's, but was preempted by the meat processing industry, which relies on the ingredient as a color fixer to make foods look more visually appealing. |
| But researchers failed to accurately identify the culprit responsible for this increased risk of pancreatic cancer, says one author. The true cause of the heightened cancer risk is the widespread use of a carcinogenic precursor ingredient known as sodium nitrite by food processing companies, says nutritionist Mike Adams, author of the just-published Grocery Warning manual at: http://www.TruthPublishing.com/GroceryWarning.html
Nearly all processed meats are made with sodium nitrite: breakfast sausage, hot dogs, jerkies, bacon, lunch meat, and even meats in canned soup products. |

 Coffee
Years ago, researchers reported the greater the consumption of coffee in a country, the higher the risk of pancreatic cancer in that country.37 An analysis of data from studies published between 1981 and 1993 did find some association between high consumption of coffee and an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.38 Surprisingly, however, the same report found that people drinking only one or two cups of coffee per day had, on average, a lower risk of pancreatic cancer compared with people who never drink coffee. |

| A study of 305 people in Poland (including pancreatic cancer cases and cancer-free controls) produced results suggesting that there is a "strongly significant trend of decreasing risk [of cancer of the pancreas] with increasing lifetime consumption of tea." Researchers who conducted a cohort study involving 13,979 residents of retirement homes in Los Angeles concluded that the "risk of pancreatic cancer decreased with increasing tea consumption. |

A case-control epidemiological study of 164 European patients evaluated the RR of developing pancreatic cancer. The comparison was between those in the fifth quintile of those who ate Tomatoes versus those in the first quintile. The RR was 0.23 (p<0.05). The cases were adjusted for sex, age, smoking status, and energy (Bueno de Mesquita et al, 1989).

 In the 1970s and 1980s, researchers studying protease-inhibitor damage on the pancreas noted that pancreatic cancer had then moved up to fifth place and wondered whether there might be a soybean-protease inhibitor connection.77 79 The fact that this ongoing rise has occurred along with a rise in the human consumption of soybeans does not prove cause and effect. However, the concurrent increase in pancreatic cancer cases alongside pertinent animal studies is suggestive—and sobering.
Researchers who toe the industry line say that soybeans are the cure—not the cause—of cancer. |

 The association was strongest for pancreatic cancer. High blood sugar (greater than 125 mg/dl) almost doubled the risk for men and more than doubled the risk for women.
"It puzzles me why the simple concept 'sugar feeds cancer' can be so dramatically overlooked in a comprehensive cancer treatment plan," says my friend, Joe Mercola, D.O., author of Dr. Mercola's Total Health Plan.
Have I convinced you yet that controlling your blood sugar should be one of your top health priorities?

| Rats exposed to moderate levels of protease inhibitors in raw soy flour show increased susceptibility to cancer, while those subjected to high levels of the inhibitors suffer pancreatic cancer.47
Trypsin inhibitors potentiate two known pancreatic carcinogens, azaserine and nitrosamine. Though azaserine is a pancreatic cancer-causing chemical that is more likely to be found in the laboratory than in the average diet, nitrosamine is a byproduct of food processing found in most modern soybean products. Cancer also occurs in soy-fed animals that have not been exposed to known carcinogens. |

It may not be coincidental that pancreatic cancer recently moved up to fourth place as a cause of cancer deaths in men and women in the United States.76 In the 1970s and 1980s, researchers studying protease-inhibitor damage on the pancreas noted that pancreatic cancer had then moved up to fifth place and wondered whether there might be a soybean-protease inhibitor connection.77 79 The fact that this ongoing rise has occurred along with a rise in the human consumption of soybeans does not prove cause and effect. |

 As detailed in my book Grocery Warning, this ingredient causes brain tumors in children, not to mention leukemia, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and other cancers. Hot dogs are far more dangerous to a child's health than lead paint in my opinion, and yet parents keep feeding them to their children!

 The highly carcinogenic ingredient sodium nitrite, for example, sounds perfectly innocent, but it is well documented to cause brain tumors, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and many other cancers (just search Google Scholar for sodium nitrite to see a long list of supporting research, or click here to read NewsTarget articles on sodium nitrite).
Carmine sounds like an innocent food coloring, but it's actually made from the smashed bodies of red cochineal beetles. |

 Obesity increases a person's risk of developing breast, colon, endometrial, kidney, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myelomas. Being overweight also increases a woman's odds of dying from cancer, particularly ovarian cancer.
Prediabetes (usually diagnosed as insulin resistance) is common in patients with cancer. It may have contributed to the risk of cancer, and it may also be a consequence of metabolic changes from having cancer. |

 Any of these unused enzymes remaining in the pancreas can damage or destroy pancreatic cells, which leads to pancreatitis— a common cause of diabetes and pancreatic cancer. In any case, the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin can be a lifesaver, at least temporarily. The body often sacrifices one part to save another more vital part.
It is obvious, though, that this act of cancer-preventive self-preservation also means that there is not enough insulin around to transport the sugar out of the bloodstream. |

| Riordan of Wichita, Kansas, describe a case involving a 68-year old male with inoperable pancreatic cancer with metastasis to one lymph node. Vitamin C levels in blood serum were very low. Intravenous vitamin C was administered. After four 8-hour infusions, plasma levels of vitamin C exceeded 158 mg/deciliter. The patient received 39 IV vitamin C treatments in all over a 13-week period. A CAT scan failed to note any progression of the tumor at 6 months. The patient survived 12 months and received no radiation or chemotherapy. |
