>Eating beef staves off cancer, scientists discover

https://metro.co.uk/2023/11/22/eating-red-meat-dairy-reduces-cancer-risk-scientists-discover-19862991/

Eating red meat and dairy could help to fight cancer, a new study suggests.

Scientists have discovered that a specific fatty acid found in beef, lamb and dairy products improves the body’s ability to attack and kill tumours.

The study, published in the journal Nature, also shows that patients with higher levels of the fatty acid – known as trans-vaccenic acid (TVA) – in their blood responded better to immunotherapy, suggesting that it could work as a nutritional supplement to complement clinical cancer treatments.

‘There are many studies trying to decipher the link between diet and human health, and it’s very difficult to understand the underlying mechanisms because of the wide variety of foods people eat,’ said co-author Professor Jing Chen, of the University of Chicago.

‘But if we focus on just the nutrients and metabolites derived from food, we begin to see how they influence physiology and pathology.

‘By focusing on nutrients that can activate T cell [immune] responses, we found one that actually enhances anti-tumour immunity by activating an important immune pathway.’

For the study, the team started with a database of around 700 known metabolites, small molecules that come from food, and assembled a ‘blood nutrient’ library.

They then screened the compounds in this new library for their ability to influence anti-tumour immunity.

After the scientists evaluated the top six candidates in both human and mouse cells, they saw that TVA performed the best.

‘After millions of years of evolution, there are only a couple hundred metabolites derived from food that end up circulating in the blood, so that means they could have some importance in our biology,’ said Professor Chen.

‘To see that a single nutrient like TVA has a very targeted mechanism on a targeted immune cell type, with a very profound physiological response at the whole organism level – I find that really amazing and intriguing.’

The team found that feeding mice a diet enriched with TVA significantly reduced the tumour growth potential of melanoma and colon cancer cells, as well as enhancing the body’s ability to infiltrate tumours.

They then analysed blood samples from hospital patients undergoing immunotherapy treatment for lymphoma and discovered that patients with higher levels of TVA tended to respond better to treatment than those with lower levels.

Finally, the study discovered that TVA enhanced the ability of an immunotherapy drug to kill leukaemia cells in patients.

However, the authors do not believe eating excessive red meat is the solution and hope to find similar results in plants.

Professor Chen added: ‘There is a growing body of evidence about the detrimental health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy, so this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers and pizza.

‘There is early data showing that other fatty acids from plants signal through a similar receptor, so we believe there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing by activating the CREB pathway as well.’

Heres an old paper from Harvard which points out that dairy consumption prevents diabetes.
It was originally buried because it presents the nonintuitive result that ice cream is good for you, which the soientific community thought should be wrong even though the numbers said it was correct and with Harvard soientists being as image conscious as they are, its kind of surprising they ever even published it at all.

The idea might trigger you emotionally because it contradicts your preconceived notions, but the research says that dairy consumption including ice cream prevents diabetes.
Cognitive dissonance is what causes emotional triggerings, and the published research does not resonate with what you think you already know, so it upsets you. If you were willing to learn something new then you wouldn't be so frustrated by seeing research that contradicts your preconceived notions, instead you'd be interested in it and happy to have grown intellectually, but instead you're angry at seeing something that shows your limited knowledge on this topic is incorrect.

Bullshit news article that doesn't provide their sources. I managed to find professor Jing Chen from Chicago and found the research paper which apparently none of you idiots here tried to do. Never just read the fucking news, they're ALWAYS wrong in representing research papers. They literally say meat is so fucking carcinogenic that they don't recommend eating it for this tiny benefit, rather that you should supplement TVA from other sources.
This is literally from the paper in discussion:
>Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding of the interactive and collective influences of diverse dietary nutrients on cancer risk, development and therapy responses is crucial for diet choices. For example, consuming red meat may provide TVA for improved anti-tumour immunity, but a high intake of red meat has been positively associated with risk of many cancers, including breast, colorectal, colon and rectal cancer. Thus, our studies support TVA supplementation as a more targeted and efficient way than dietary changes to benefit anti-tumour immunity.

I felt like shit on only cheese, butter, and red meat. Your mileage may vary. I think the people who do well on keto, and more specifically on carnivore, have some major food allergies or glycemic issues. Once they feel great on carnivore, or actually how they should have felt all along, they assume it must be the diet for everyone. If a person doesn't have food intolerances and they're already using glucose appropriately, then switching to carnivore is simply depriving them of glucose, so they'll feel awful until they adapt to beta oxidation, at which point they'll probably end up feeling about the same as they did before.

So yeah, I think it's a legit diet for a certain group of people and deserves to be talked about more, but it's probably not some miracle hack for someone already in good health.

Yeah, I think to some extent this is true.
But for some people they report that for the first time in years they feel alive without any of their long term health problems.
Gut absorbtion plays a huge role in general health, with even different bacteria modulating the effects of some of the more nastier components we're exposed to.
But I think the diet your ancestors adapted to live on is almost certainly better for you than whatever pseudo artificial nightmare that passes for commercial processed food.

What I mean is that a healthy person who uses glucose properly and doesn't have other major issues will probably not feel all that different on carnivore once they're keto-adapted. I expected amazing energy and mental clarity, but I basically just felt even and not quite as energetic as I had been. The people who do notice an amazing difference, at least from what I've observed, had diabetes, autoimmune issues, and/or food intolerances. In all likelihood, they felt awful on a more standard diet. Going carnivore probably helped them to feel normal, which to them made them feel amazing considering they were coming from an awful state. I'm all for people trying keto or carnivore to see how they feel, and I think it's a pretty damn good diet for someone who is struggling with their health, but is it the superior diet for someone who is already healthy and feels no better or even slightly worse on it? I have my doubts. I'm European-American too, so my ancestral diet should have included a lot of meat, but for whatever reason I seem to function well with a moderate amount of carbs.

>> No.15892372

>>15892257
It's not a glucose focused issue, but allergies instead (grains, gluten, vegetable oil, etc.)

I still eat carbs except "cleaner carbs" like almond/ oat bread instead of wheat or white bread, my blood sugar levels were never concerning before yet I still felt terrible, switching to "healthier carbs" (I'm not on hardcore carnivore/ keto btw) helped a lot.

I think it could be both, I've heard of diabetics curing their neuropathy through keto. But yeah, it could be a strict allergen issue in some cases, and carnivore is the best elimination diet that I know of. Glad you found what works for you, anon.

It's varied quite a bit. Breakfast is basically carnivore with some berries, so maybe 5-10 grams at most. Lunch is more fruit and maybe a piece of bread (meat too), maybe 30-40 grams of carbs. Dinner can be a lot depending on if I want some Italian pasta, like 100+. Probably 150 grams or so per day. Fasting glucose is in the low 80's, haven't checked any post-prandial numbers lately. Triglycerides have been in the 70's for over a decade.

>also how long did you do carnivore?
Pretty strict for about a month. I wouldn't say I felt sick early on, but weak and foggy minded. I kept assuming it would pass. I eventually added some salt/potassium water to see if it was due to lack of electrolytes, but I didn't notice any difference. I also was losing weight, maybe just water, but it was disturbing because I was trying to keep weight on and was well over 150 grams of protein per day, plus plenty of tallow and butter. My glucose numbers sucked too, like almost 100 fasting and would rise with food, and my ketones were usually under 0.5 despite not eating carbs. Maybe it was the protein? Cholesterol went way up, around 100 points in a month (around 200 to just over 300 total). I started adding carbs back in and felt a lot more energetic for it.

Nah, to be honest I had other concerns at the time, but I probably should have thrown that in with some other bloodwork I had completed. ApoB was 100, HDL 88, LDL 195. I wasn't that concerned about the numbers, but the lack of energy was a problem because I knew I'd need physical rehab soon for a health condition. I may try it again at some point when there's less going on, but my system seems to like some carbs.

Veganism was probably possible 70 years ago, but a few things have changed since then.
>we've bred plants for yield
There's a clear inverse between yield and nutrient content, to the point where tomatoes now have lost like 30% of their nutrients. See:
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H3VhsnyCdI&t=2495s

>we wash vegetables
We have to wash vegetables to get the pesticides and all the shit they spray on them off, BUT the vitamin B12 people need is inside the soils which you would have consumed with the veggies.

>climate change
Climate change is diluting the micronutrient content of our food, more calories per unit of vegetable with equal nutrients.

100 years ago before the "Green revolution" and all this shit they've done to our food vegetarianism was probably possible without nutrient deficiencies. After all vegetarianism was practiced in India for a long, long time. So if you hate vegans/vegetarians, blame farmers.

>> No.15899303

>>15899231
Also there is another reason why vegetarianism isn't going away soon: theres a fundamental inverse correlation between intelligence and meat consumption. After all, this agrees with general observations that hunter gatherers are less intelligent than farmers. I'll give you an example:
>https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/variants/rs12232804
>https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/variants/rs113028115

The gene rs12232804 decreases meat consumption, and is in linkage disequilibrium with rs113028115, which increases white matter volume. There are more. Otherwise there's the very real possibility that modern diets are causing people to evolve to be dumber. Also there are some other things, like forever chemicals bio-accumulate in cows more than certain plants like corn, but I wont go into that.

>There's a clear inverse between yield and nutrient content, to the point where tomatoes now have lost like 30% of their nutrients.
This is a big problem that more people should be aware of, and concern about it is shared among multiple factions, but I personally have an issue with framing it as just yield chasing, at least at this point. That was certainly the cause, but the issue itself is the nutrition content. Attacking yields, not unjustifiably, spooks people. The solution has to lie in regulating, through whatever means in the expansive sense of the word, the per kg nutrition content of foodstuffs. Chasing yields is fine and has been happening for at least 10,000 years. The big problem is that we got very good at it and at the same time, despite a massive regulatory state, didn't bother to make sure yields weren't coming at the expense of content.

>> No.15899533

>>15899509
I should restate. We've bred plants for yield in tandem with fertilizers, mainly the haber bosch process. If you took a modern plant and tried to grow it like a pre green revolution plant, i.e. without fertilizers + pesticides, then it would have a lower yield than an heirloom. When you add fertilizers + pesticides it has an exponentially higher yield than an heirloom (but lower micronutrients). It has nothing to do with yield alone per say, just that yield is getting artficially boosted without adding anything of substance.

I just hate how we're forced to eat this green revolution slop. No wonder so many people hate tomatoes when we've bred them to be this mealy tasteless shit only good for transporting over 1000 miles. It's really no wonder modern vegetables cause nutritional deficiencies.

In general I blame anti veganism on the current time period. Fundamentally theres really nothing wrong with it.

Well, we killed animals at some point. That's pretty recent compared to the examples you just gave. Prior to that it was mostly plants and fruits. So whereas your wolves and lions really need to eat meat for even basic health, it's arguable that humans only ate meat as a temporary means of survival. Keep in mind I eat plenty of meat, I just don't buy the argument of "we only ate mammoths for a few thousand years, therefore plants are poison!"

>> No.15900885

>>15900545
The coexistence of humans and woolly mammoths was not 4 million years, and whether humans used tools to hunt smaller animals is interesting but doesn't prove much. Hunter-gatherers today still tend to eat mostly plant food since their success rate is low and prey usually small. What I'm getting at is the discussion as to whether red meat in abundance (not just a serving here and there) is healthy or not. The premise that it must be good because we ONLY ate red meat from woolly mammoths for a small period of time is flawed imo. For a much longer period of time we ate mostly plants and fruits, and then we started mixing in more meat as we became hunters. Regardless, it seems we can eat just about anything and still live to 70 if there's no major accidents. Diet and other life style factors, plus some luck in avoiding cancer, seems to determine how long we live past 70. So would a modern human who lived a relatively healthy life but did nothing but eat red meat for decades live well past 70? I don't know, and the few carnivorous populations don't exactly lend themselves to comparison with a modern lifestyle. Supposedly being vegetarian and even more so vegan does extend life, except it's not by a lot and may not be because of the diet (some would say they don't live longer at all). I dunno. I'm for someone eating whatever makes them feel best, and severe food reactions or out of control glucose are major negative factors, but otherwise I'm not sure the type of diet matters too much so long as the person stays active and at a relatively healthy weight.

THREADLY REMINDER: factory-farmed and/or processed meat causes cancer and hormonal imbalances, and will soon start coming drenched in mRNA vaxx spike protein, if that's not the case already. Avoid at all costs and ignore meme studies. If you want non-toxic meat, buy from a small, local farm.

> There's a clear inverse between yield and nutrient content, to the point where tomatoes now have lost like 30% of their nutrients
That is true, although reversing this would still make plants basically worthless.
Ironically enough, you fail to mention that plants used to be much smaller and I find it hard to picture being able to find enough plants to eat, let alone in winter.
You also fail to mention that this would also affect the amount of nutrients found in meat. Luckily they still have those nutrients although less.

> BUT the vitamin B12 people need is inside the soils which you would have consumed with the veggies.
LMAO yeah not like you actually have all the B-vitamins in the meat, no, we need to eat soil.

They won't, they're just collecting their paychecks. It's pretty transparent big animal agriculture propaganda.
I love meat and am never going to stop eating it but at this point it's pretty clear that it's not the healthiest thing. On top of that, we know that everything that is burnt is carcinogenic, and meat is tastiest when it's grilled over charcoal, or at the very least with a bit of char, which is never going to be good for you.

>a new study suggests

Unfortunately, a single study is not enough. Biology is riddled with claims that are only supported by 1 or 2 studies. It’s not until many many studies confirm the same result that it becomes more likely that the effect is real.

That being said, I actually genuinely hope the study is wrong in some way and that red meat doesn’t actually have cancer benefits. Not because I hope more people die of cancer, but because red meat is so environmentally costly to produce that we’d like to not have any reasons to keep it.
