Among the chemicals that raised particular concern are nitrates and nitrites, which are used as preservatives, primarily in meat products; phthalates, which are used to make plastic packaging; and bisphenols, used in the lining of metal cans for canned food products. Also of concern to the pediatricians are perfluoroalkyl chemicals, or PFCs, used in grease-proof paper and packaging, and perchlorates, an anti-static agent used in plastic packaging.

“The good news is there are safe and simple steps people can take right now to limit exposures, and they don’t have to break the bank,” said Dr. Leonardo Trasande, the lead author of the statement and chief of the division of environmental pediatrics at New York University’s School of Medicine.

“Avoiding canned food is a great way to reduce your bisphenol exposure in general, and avoiding packaged and processed food is a good way to avoid phthalates exposures,” Trasande said. He also suggested wrapping foods in wax paper in lieu of plastic wrap.

Learn how of the millions of American cancers diagnosed each year as many as 90 to 95 percent are caused by lifestyle factors, and only 5 percent caused by bad genes.

The suggestion is that

ultimate cancer development is primarily a nutrition-responsive disease rather than a genetic disease, with the understanding that nutrition is a comprehensive, wholistic, biological effect that reflects the natural contents of nutrients and related substances in whole, intact food.

Whaaat?? Are we surprised? It just feels better to go to bed on a slightly empty belly! (Early here means early dinner, but I like concept of an eating WINDOW of six to eight hours.)

People who eat dinner before 9 p.m. — or at least two hours before going to sleep — have a 20% lower risk of breast and prostate cancer than those who eat after 10 p.m. or go to bed shortly after supper, researchers found.

FINAL UPDATE: It was great, but not anything that we haven’t already learned here at Project Waistline. I would like to point out that the green smoothie issue has been settled according to published research reported by nutritionfacts.org that explains satiation is sufficient if we drink our smoothies very slowly, swishing water in our mouth every once in a while to keep dental acidity low. Since mine is loaded with greens, and I sip it while I’m working all morning long, I get full! I also don’t think that good quality bread is a bad thing (in healthy individuals), but I realize it has to be limited for all people, as does whole grain pasta.

UPDATE: Hope you guys registered for this webinar (link is below) b/c they sent me this:

“It’s a total myth that you have to restrict portion sizes and count calories in order to lose weight.

**********

Here’s an example of what to expect. One participant in their Mastering Diabetes program brought her A1c level from 7.2 down to 5.4 and lost 28lb all in just 28 weeks eating daily like this:

• Green smoothies made with leafy greens and 3-4 bananas.
• Mixed fruit bowls including mangoes, blueberries, and chia seeds.
• Bowls containing potatoes, quinoa, beans, and vegetables.
• Big green salads.

https://nutritionstudies.org/plant-oils-are-not-a-healthy-alternative-to-saturated-fat/

plant oils experimentally promote cancer much more than does saturated fats—that’s right. This is an experimental observation that is at least 30-40 years old.

From a practical perspective, however, this mainly refers to added oils-isolated from plant sources. It does not refer to the oil within those plant-based foods because plants contain lots of antioxidants to keep the tissue damaging effects of ROS [reactive oxygen species] under control. In my opinion, this is a primary reason for avoiding consumption of added oils. Another reason for avoiding these oils is their contribution to total calorie intake which displaces, in effect, the consumption of calorie containing whole, plant-based foods.
