Microbial Wednesday :: Chapter 22 :: Western diet Increases Cancer Risk.

Cancer, Dharma, Microbes

Western diet Increases Cancer Risk. Would you call ‘Death’ as disease? No, right? Death is not a disease. It is biological event. Similarly, cancer is also a biological event. Sometimes, it surfaces on life early. Most of the times, it does in last stage of life. Game of circadian clocks. Time driven events. Cancer is a property of each cell. It is the faulty clock that leads to cell into Cancer pathway than Cell Death pathway.[1]

This is not the first study that links microbes to cancer. Our आहार, निद्रा and ब्रह्मचर्य will decide the state of body in all aspects, including microbes. Microbes play significant role in health and diseases.

As per this article, Muladhara(मूलाधार) and Cancer : Prevent and Cure – Prachodayat, there is a link between microbes and cancer. Certain set of microbes can cause cancer and the other ones can cure it.

New research builds the case that a Western-style diet — rich in red and processed meat, sugar and refined grains/carbohydrates — is tied to higher risk of colorectal cancer through the intestinal microbiota. Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital with collaborators looked at data from more than 134,000 participants from two U.S.-wide prospective cohort studies. The team analyzed dietary patterns as well as DNA from Escherichia coli strains found in more than 1,000 colorectal tumors. The team looked for bacterial strains carrying a distinct genetic island known as polyketide synthase (pks). Pks encodes an enzyme that has been shown to cause mutations in human cells. Overall, the team found that Western diet was associated with colorectal tumors containing high amounts of pks+ E. coli but not with tumors containing little to no amount of pks+ E. coli.

Imagine, generation after generation, we are adopting the same diet that we should ignore!

  • Processed meat
  • Sugar
  • Refined Grains

Avoid them.
