Vegetarian for 36 Years

And last week, my biopsy came back positive for Colon Cancer.

WTF??!!?!?

WY DIDN'T SOMEBODY WARN ME?!!?!

> Long term vegetarian diet changes human DNA raising risk of cancer and heart disease

bu Sarah Knapton

Long term vegetarianism can lead to genetic mutations which raise the risk of heart disease and cancer, scientists have found.

Populations who have had a primarily vegetarian diet for generations were found to be far more likely to carry DNA which makes them susceptible to inflammation.

Scientists in the US believe that the mutation occured to make it easier for vegetarians to absorb essential fatty acids from plants.

But it has the knock-on effect of boosting the production of arachidonic acid, which is linked to inflammatory disease and cancer. When coupled with a diet high in vegetable oils - such as sunflower oil - the mutated gene quickly turns fatty acids into dangerous arachidonic acid.

The finding may help explain previous research which found vegetarian populations are nearly 40 per cent more likely to suffer colorectal cancer than meat eaters, a finding that has puzzled doctors because eating red meat is known to raise the risk.

If I had known, I would have spent my life eating a healthy, balanced diet. Fuck, my grandmother ate nothing but stakes until she died at 92. And now, I will never know what that feels like.

Vegans BTFO?

Well at least you weren't vegan - you'd be more cancer than human by now.

But, that's not what I was told by my vegetarian friends and even nutritionist...

Cancer is what I got for listening to bs vegetarian bro science...

What stage, OP?

Stage 1. No chemo yet, but surgical removal of the tumor is possible... so I got that going for me.

wow it's almost like your body needs those essential amino acids in animal products in order to function

From my understanding of the Cornell study, it's the vegetable fatty acids that are turned into carcinogens by an adaptive mutation.

The cause of the cancer risk is not protein related at all.

Should be easy to post proof then

How about immunotherapy? Lots of new developments in that field.

Correct:

Researchers from Cornell University in the US compared hundreds of genomes from a primarily vegetarian population in Pune, India to traditional meat-eating people in Kansas and found there was a significant genetic difference.

“Those whose ancestry derives from vegetarians are more likely to carry genetics that more rapidly metabolise plant fatty acids,” said Tom Brenna, Professor of Human Nutrition at Cornell.

“In such individuals, vegetable oils will be converted to the more pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid, increasing the risk for chronic inflammation that is implicated in the development of heart disease, and exacerbates cancer.

What do you get out of posting this stale pasta every week? You're not even memeing right, you fucking faggot. No one cares about vegetarians. If you want to troll /ck/, you're supposed to attack or claim to be vegan.

>it has the knock-on effect of boosting the production of arachidonic acid, which is linked to inflammatory disease and cancer.
Is that the same arachidonic acid found primarily in meat, eggs and dairy? It is, isn't it?

>When coupled with a diet high in vegetable oils
Literally no one is claiming that a diet high in vegetable oils is good for you.

>A meta-analysis by Cambridge University looking for associations between heart disease risk and individual fatty acids reported a significantly reduced risk of heart disease with higher levels of EPA and DHA (Omega-3 fats), as well as the Omega-6 Arachidonic Acid. A scientific advisory from the American Heart Association has also favorably evaluated the health impact of dietary omega-6 fats, including arachidonic acid.
Oh look it's literally nothing. The next time you think about posting this thread for the the 20th time, consider suicide as an alternative.

I'd rather someone ate meat and shunned eggs and cheese. Worst things you can put in your body besides arsenic and pozloads desu

The study was misinterpreted by the media. The risk for colon cancer has only increased with individuals who have an ancestry of being vegetarian (e.g. people from families who practice Hinduism) AND have recently increased their intake of Omega-6, commonly found in vegetable oils.

There's no increase of risk for people who stick to a traditional and natural vegetarian/vegan diet, because they are not consuming too much Omega-6 to the point of causing an imbalance between O-6 and O-3.

How long have you been vegetarian and how did you find out you had colon cancer? Blood in stool constantly?

[Anonymous No.9259657]

>>9256367
I gotta friend who had it when he was in high school. Huge-ass tumor, too. He's still around at 55.

Good luck, OP. Go enjoy some bacon now.
