CANCER QUESTION

The French journalist Jean Pierre Elkabbach had the excellent idea of inviting me to the Senate (the upper house of the French parliament) to take part in a television programme about food and dieting. This very important programme also featured Professor Khayat, France's leading cancer specialist campaigning for a way of eating to prevent and cure cancer.
There before me was a leading international cancer expert and someone who knows all there is to know about the links between this dreadful disease and how we eat. So I took the opportunity of his being there and of his authority to get him to say exactly what he thinks about some of the pernicious rumours that have been circulating for years, confusing anyone concerned by their weight and health.

"Mister Khayat, can you answer as clearly as possible whether proteins in general and meat in particular play any role whatsoever in the onset of cancer, are they in any way responsible?"
His reply was: "NO! Just avoid any overcooking on the barbecue and over direct heat as this is carcinogenic."

As for myself, I have built my method for fighting against weight problems on the fact that men were hunters of meat and women gatherers of vegetables for the first 50,000 years that our species was on earth and that we are still programmed physically and mentally to eat these foods. All nutritionists know this full well however, some either because they have a particular belief or some personal interest, pretend to forget about it as they cleverly cast aspersions on proteins.

The French are by bugged by another question to do with aspartame. So I again asked Professor Khayat about this:

"Is aspartame carcinogenic or not?" His reply to this was just as categorical as it was to the first question: NO and NO!

However, it has been clearly proven that BEING OVERWEIGHT is carcinogenic. Many international studies show that both breast cancer for women and prostate cancer for men are both directly related to being overweight, as adipocytes secrete male and female hormones that play a role in the onset of cancer.
