 And, when animals were subsequently switched back to the 20% protein diet during period 4 (20-20-5-20), foci development was turned on once again.
In another experiment, in animals fed 20% dietary protein during period 1 but switched to 5% dietary protein during period 2 (20-5), foci development was sharply decreased. But when these animals were returned to 20% dietary protein during period 3 (20-5-20), we again saw the dramatic power of dietary protein to promote foci development.
These several experiments, taken together, were quite profound. |

• Low animal protein diet (see chapter seven)
• A high plant-based diet—at least 75 percent raw alkaline-forming fruit and vegetables
Just the first three of the Perfect Health five steps will get you there:
1. Try to eat one meal each day that is just fruit.
2. Eat fresh or dried fruit and vegetables in between meals if you crave sweet or savory foods.
3. Start all cooked meals with raw vegetables. |

 According to Schwarzbein, the high carbohydrate, low-fat, moderate protein diet that most dieticians and disease-prevention organizations recommend is the culprit that turns people into diabetics, makes them age faster to the point of acquiring degenerative diseases, and it also keeps them fat and unhealthy as well. She supports her theory with case studies of people who were sick and unhealthy on high carbohydrate, low-fat diets, but who sprang back to life when they "balanced" their diets with more fat and protein. |

 If you have below-normal renal function, you should talk to your health care professional prior to trying a high protein diet.
Another danger of excessive protein in the diet has to do with insulin levels. One of the arguments for a high-protein diet is a claim that too many carbs raise the blood insulin level, which in turn causes weight gain by forcing the calories into fat cells rather than allowing these same calories to be burned as energy. A recent Michigan State University study seems to disprove this argument. |

| Perhaps you remember the protein diet fad that gripped the country in the late 1970s. The promise was that you could lose weight by replacing real food with a protein shake. In a very short while, almost sixty women died from the diet. More recently millions have adopted high-protein, high-fat diets based on books such as Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Protein Power and The South Beach Diet. There is increasing evidence that these modern protein fads continue to inflict a great variety of dangerous health disorders. What we don't know—what we don't understand—about nutrition can hurt us. |
| Those fed the low-animal protein diet exercised substantially more, with less fatigue, than those fed the type of diet that most of us eat. This was the same effect observed by these world-class athletes.
This shouldn't be news to the medical establishment. A century ago, Professor Russell Chittenden, a famous, well established nutrition researcher at Yale University Medical School, investigated whether eating a plant-based diet affected students' physical capacities.34 35 He fed some students, fellow faculty and himself a plant-based diet and measured their physical performance tests. |

 When you're on a heavy protein diet, things like stress and processed foods will drive you into acidic pH. What this product does is bring you back to a more alkaline state. When I was dieting down to take some pictures it really helped me with carbohydrate cravings. For me, and I think most people would agree, nighttime is the worst. That's when cravings start creeping in. And that's why I take it along with my post workout meal and a shake to help, number one, break up the lactic acid, and number two, to help with those carbohydrate cravings.
Mike: Wonderful. |

| A high protein diet leads to severe Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies; the aging process triggered by amyloid by-product of Protein metabolism deposited in all connective tissue (tissue and organ damage). Meat counteracts healing in severe crushing accidents; doctors often recommend eating no meat. A high Protein, low Carbohydrate diet exacerbates excretion of Calcium, Phosphorus, Zinc, and Iron. Excess Protein foods may cause sinuses, head colds, catarrh, bronchitis, flu, or pneumonia. |

| Every single rat fed 20% protein got liver cancer or its precursor lesions, but not a single animal fed a 5% protein diet got liver cancer or its precursor lesions. It was not a trivial difference; it was 100% versus 0%. This was very much consistent with my observations for the Philippine children. Those who were most vulnerable to liver cancer were those who consumed diets higher in protein.
No one seemed to accept the report from India. |

| Since it is not desirable to lose muscle tissue when trying to correct insulin resistance, this evidence suggests a higher protein diet might be the more preferable alternative.
There is also evidence that the amount and range of carotenoid-like pigments in an individual's blood is inversely related to fasting serum insulin levels,65 suggesting a diet low in vegetables might contribute to insulin resistance. Epidemiological evidence does not support a role of dietary vitamins E or C consumption having a significant association with insulin sensitivity. |

 Baba et al. study [172] admit that because the entire weight loss difference between the high- and low-protein groups occurred during the first week of the 4-week study, and not thereafter, it was probably due to "greater water losses" rather than changes in body tissue. Eisenstein et al. [203] calculated the statistical difference in actual weight loss in the seven studies and found it to be statistically insignificant (p = 0.904). |

| The researchers did not monitor insulin resistance, although the higher protein diet generated more positive metabolic changes in areas associated with insulin resistance.
Piatti et al also conducted a weight loss trial. They held the percent of calories from fat constant and modified the relative percent of calories from protein and carbohydrates. The two diets the researchers utilized in this study had the following composition: 45% protein, 35% carbohydrate, and 20% fat; or 20% protein, 60% carbohydrate, and 20% fat. |

| In contrast, animals initiated with a low-aflatoxin dose actually produced substantially more foci when subsequently fed the 20% protein diet.
A principle was being established. Foci development, initially determined by the amount of the carcinogen exposure, is actually controlled far more by dietary protein consumed during promotion. Protein during promotion trumps the carcinogen, regardless of initial exposure.
With this background information we designed a much more substantial experiment. Here is a step-by-step sequence of experiments, carried out by my graduate student Linda Youngman. |

 Most of the popular diets that I tried, such as the low carbohydrate or the protein diet, ended in disaster. The trouble with most of these fad diets is that they cause the body to expel excess fluid but not fat. Protein diets for instance overload the system with protein which is treated like a poison and the body tries to flush it out. Other diets consist of stimulants such as caffeine or direct diuretics. I managed to lose about 15 pounds of my excess 45 pounds through periodic calorie counting and fasting. |

 Do not take individual amino acids as supplements instead of a balanced protein diet. At a certain concentration, some have adverse effects on the mineral and vitamin balance of the body. Amino acids in the body function more efficiently when they are proportionately represented.
Eggs are a wholesome food. An average egg weighs 50 grams and has an energy value of eighty calories. The white of an egg weighs about 33 grams and the yolk about 17 grams. Eggs contain about 6 grams of top-quality proteins, no carbohydrates, and no fiber. |
| An adequate and balanced protein diet is also essential to maintain the amino acid pool that ultimately determines the rate of manufacture of different collagen fibers.

| More about Meat
If what I said about of meat contamination in Chapter 3 hasn't yet turned you away from flesh food, let me give you some facts about animal protein diet versus a vegetarian diet. Most people are under the impression that you must eat animal protein in order to sustain life. This is a myth perpetrated by the meat industry. In point of fact, my own original work with Dr. Hillard Fitsky at the Institute of Applied Biology and Dr. Victor Berman in 1984 showed that virtually all foods contain all eight essential amino acids. |

 Ad libitum feeding of the 60% protein diet, however, overcame some of the inhibition (77% incidence), indicating inhibition of tumorigenesis by very high protein diets can be overcome by increasing food intake. Harris (194 7) concluded that protein had no effect on carcinogenesis induced either by 2-AAF or by aminofluorene (AF), which was applied to the skin. In the 2-AAF-treated rats, reduction in the total incidence of tumors from 65% to 45% in males and from 80% to 70% in females resulted from a modest reduction in dietary casein from 20% to 13%. |

Challenging the Theory Behind High-Protein Diets
Both of these diets are based on the concept, first proposed in 1903, of "protein stores." Some of the promoters of these diets claim the body isn't hurt by eating excess protein—that it just stores the excess away for future use. But no one has yet discovered where the protein is stored; nor has the existence of "protein stores" been established in controlled experiments with human subjects. |
