Cancer is everywhere these days and it seems like no matter what you do, no one is immune from the often deadly diagnosis. The toll of cancer devastates lives and takes hundreds of thousands of victims each year. But why are these cancer numbers rising so rapidly? What are we doing or not doing that may be increasing the cancer rate though? Butter Nutrition has a hunch and shares her 6 reasons with us.
Don’t forget to read all 6 reasons and voice your opinion when you’re done! I think you’ll be surprised by how many of these you have complete control over…
1) While Americans are well FED, they are not well nourished.
How can you expect the body to maintain the homeostasis that keeps cancer cells at bay if your body doesn’t have the raw materials to function properly? From the increases in processed food, to eating fat free diets, and not eating the whole animal (leading to inflammation), it’s clear the majority of Americans are not giving their body the nutrition it needs.
2) Increased estrogen levels from the pill and hormone replacement.
The birth control pill was not introduced until 1960, when the first high estrogen oral contraceptive Enovid was approved by the FDA. According to Dr. Ray Peat, PhD, “Cancer, abnormal blood clotting, and infertility were known to be caused by estrogen before 1940, but at the same time the drug companies began calling estrogen “the female hormone,” and claiming that it would improve fertility.”
Yet still today, I don’t know of many women who have not or are not taking synthetic estrogen in some form. Clearly a variable that has not been around for much more than 50 years! How can we continue to ignore the fact that more estrogen means higher cancer rates, and thus taking oral estrogen is NOT the best idea? Keep reading…
