But this needs to be said. Some of us may have family members battling various cancers and anything to improve the outcome should be utilized.
CD36 is cellular protein found on many cells in our body. It imports fatty acids inside of our cells. Studies show that CD36 are responsible for increased metastasis in cancer patients. It has also been shown that palmitic acid upregulates CD36 expression. That means palmitic acid can make metastasis increase. It is important to know that meats, cheese, butter, and dairy all contain about 50 to 60% of their total fats as palmitic acid. Basically the more fat you eat, the increased potential for metastasis. This has been shown in breast cancer patients where a low fat diet increased survival 17%. On the contrary, eating broccoli and cruciferous vegetables decreased CD36 expression as much as 35%. This is just a couple examples of how our diet can help affect our health.
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli) has also been shown to increase the survival in bladder cancer, lung cancer, and ovarian cancer. Milk has been shown to double the risk of dying in ovarian cancer.
Studies show good things to improve survival and lessen adverse effects of chemo in breast cancer are cruciferous vegetables, coffee, tea, soy, flaxseed, melatonin, and a low fat diet.
Now away from the studies, increased fat intake causes issues because of the CD36 uptake into cells. CD36 primarily works on long chain fatty acids and our good GI tract bacteria need short chain fatty acids for fuel. With a good diet and adequate good GI bacteria, we don't have long chain fatty acids floating in our bloodstream and we are healthy. Meat has palmitic acid but also higher sulfur and histamine levels. If we eat a lot of sulfur, we get more sulfur eating bacteria which cause inflammation in higher numbers. But over time, eating these things makes us unhealthy. I won't get into the increased methionine ingestion increasing methylation which increases our DNA production.
If anyone has a relative suffering from cancer, especially the ones mentioned above, studies show they can improve their outcome by modifying their diet.
