Vegetarian, but not a vegetarian junk-- Part 1

In the previous two posts on how to heal and reverse cancer with the diet, I emphasize on avoiding eating animal-based protein based on numerous original research publications; primarily from Professor Campbell's group at the Cornell University. The conclusion was that animal-based protein is both an initiator and a promoter of cancer. Avoiding eating animal-based protein can shrink foci (pre-cancer) at least in the rats.

While I am promoting vegetarian diet, I do not promote the so-called 'vegetarian junk-food diet'. What they are? They are floor-based food products including breads, bagel,noodles, and most importantly High Fructose Corn Syrup based foods that include soft drink, fruit juice, fruit punches, many processed foods (including yoga, Granola bar). The following information is mostly taken from Professor Debra Perason's presentation. Dr. Pearson is a nutrition science professor at UW-Green Bay. I consult with her every time I need nutrition advice.

The bottom line of avoiding floor and High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is that both categories causes insulin resistance which is one of the causes of cancer (Reference: Read over my post over 'Sun Rise, Sun Set, and Grounding for Cancer Healing story.) HFCS can also cause many other health issues which will be discussed here.

Most of my readers know about the hidden danger of eating floor-based food, I would just focus on High-Fructose Corn Syrup Product in this blog story.

High-fructose corn is produced by milling corn to produce corn starch, then processing that corn starch to yield corn syrup which is almost entirely glucose. Enzymes(that include alpha-amylase, glucoamylase, and xylose isomerase) were then added the syrup to convert the glucose into fructose. The resulting syrup contains approximately 90% fructose and is HFCS 90. To make other common forms of HFCS (e.g. HFCS 55 and HFCS 42), the HFCS 90 is mized with 100% glucose corn syrup in the approximate ratios to form the desired HFCS. Those common forms of HFCS are used almost everywhere from soft drinks, fruit juices, and other baked process foods. They have detrimental health impact.

Thus, my advice to the readers: Please read the food nutrition ingredient label before you consume the product. (To be continued.)
