What are those cancer causing foods and why are you eating them?



I am in the midst of reading a fascinating and highly informative book called Anti-Cancer by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD. Even if you don't have cancer, I highly recommend it. I will be quoting studies from it over the next couple of weeks because this book is filled with ground breaking material how we can prevent and cure cancer through our diet.

Dr. Servan-Schreiber states that "certain foods in our diet can act as fertizers for tumors, and others, to the contrary, harbor precious anticancer molecules. As recent discoveries show, those go far beyond the usual cvitamins, minerals and antioxidants."

The food cancer promoters unsurprisingly include high glycemic index foods (i.e. sugar, white flour, etc.), hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, sunflour, soy and corn oil, conventional dairy products, fried foods, chips and fried appetizers, nonorganic red meat and eggs, poultry skin and skins of nonorganic fruits and vegetables (since pesticides cling to their skin).

These are the foods that we urge you to eliminate during the JOOS Cleanse. The cleanse acts to kick start sustainable healthy eating habits. As a result, you should feel more energetic, strenghten your immune system and get rid of excess weight.
