Plant Based Diets for Cancer Prevention and Cancer Recurrence with Dr. Ann Pittier 

Chef AJ please bring her back!! This was one of the best, most comprehensive presentations on the importance of WFPB eating for health I’ve EVER heard! 🎉

My wife has the NTHL1 gene and has had suffered a melanoma, colon and breast cancer. We are now plant-based for our health, especially hers.

I was a patient at MD Anderson in Houston. There are posters all over the hallways that say 50% of cancers are preventable, and that eating a plant-based diet is best. MDA is not afraid to educate its patients and visitors. ❤

When folks ask why eat the way I eat (healthy wfpb vegan) one of the reasons is to reduce the chances of cancer. Now I can share this video and hopefully inspire some of them to make a healthy change too!

Loved this presentation. I've been WFPB SOS free since my breast cancer dX in Sep 2022. I never realized how much cholesterol was tied into cancer. Thank you Chef AJ and Dr Pittier.

I applaud doctors like Stephan Esser, Coldwell Essylstein, John McDougall, Michael Greger, Dean Ornish and others who are doing a PHENOMENAL job telling people the truth. To be honest, if I were a doctor today, I’d be self-consciously ashamed at the absolute failure of my colleagues muddying up the waters for those who do it right.

Excellent excellent very thorough interview, will share. As an oncologist obviously, she kind of hasta recommend memos in colonoscopies, but on that factor listeners may want to check out Dr. McDougall‘s cautions on how those two testing procedures can cause cancer and colonoscopies can even cause death if the colon gets punctured. It’s better to just focus on doing healthy acts of prevention rather than going looking for cancer. Again, very powerful for an oncologist to be so clearly explaining the specific benefits of a plant-based diet for cancer patients. Thank you for having her on. It is a very timely one for me to share with a few friends.❤❤❤

This is amazing. She dropped so many important (and to me unknown) comments. I think I will re-watch this one. Thanks!

Absolutely enjoyed this talk. Although the information is not new to me, I never get tired of hearing it over and over again. Thank you.

I love this lady! She explains everything so well and I will forward this video to anyone who will listen. ❤❤❤❤

Chef AJ, you and all of your guess speakers are life savers....Im glad that I have stumbled into your platform.💯⚘

Such a great show ,so informative so much information, yet so easily laid out so that anyone can understand it. Yes, please bring this lady back. It’s also nice AJ when you interact with the doctor easily asking questions that we want to know.💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

What a great presentation and conversation. This DR is one of my favorite guests you’ve had.

Really fascinating - one thing that has always struck me though is the messaging about being overweight and breast cancer risk; having worked on a breast cancer ward we often remarked how slim and healthy those women were and how those admissions were so quick compared to other wards as they mostly had no other health problems or long lists of medications. It was exceptionally rare to admit a heavy woman with breast cancer.

Please please bring her back….talk about the good we should eat…especially about fruits. Please

Excellent presentation!! Chef AJ, you always have top notch guests ❤❤

Wow, what a presentation! Truly wonderful :) would be lovely to have her back and get to know her more personally :D thank you so much

What a great presentation to have in my back pocket to share with loved ones! Not that they want to hear it LOL, but such great information.

This was a great presentation, so informative and I learned so much. Thank you.

SUPER presentation. Thank you both!😀

This is the most informative video I have ever seen thanks!

One of my oncologist is plant based. Although it was never suggested to me. But I was encouraged once I asked about it.

Woooow great interview!!! Thank you!

Man this is EXCELLENT!! Thank you so much ❤

She was wonderful! Thanks,chef AJ

Thank you very much doctor your presentation was excellent We need more doctors like you may God bless you Chef AJ Thank you for bringing her again

Excellent! Will watch again

Both times that I was diagnosed with cancer I was never offered to work with a nutritionist as part of my team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been a health nut since my teen years and interested in my well being. I feel the medical complex is money driven and if they want customers for the life of the patient then ignorance is bliss. I am naturally curious and ask questions, assess and re-assess life and when I know better I do bettter and in my situation it required firing my oncologist who flat out said "dont ask any questions, dont talk to anyone about tamoxifen just take the pill"!!! I found a very intelligent APN to add to my team to help me reach my goal of living a vegan happy lifestyle. Its a journey and life is good!!!! If there is ever a time to stop doing the same things we have always done then its when diagnosed with a potentially deadly disease, however, I did not have the energy to care and thank goodness for my support system. Love this talk and just the info on fiber and flushing out the excess hormones and pesticides was very enlightening and I learn something new every time. Keep up the fantastic work. Be Well💚

Wow, yes! What great information.❤Thank you.

Thank you! A very well worded and complete presentation

Fabulous interview. Please have her on again.

Fabulous presentation. Thank you.

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Love for chef AJ. This helps so much❤❤❤

Superb information! Thank you!😊

Good Questions Chef AJ!!! You need to keep challenging our hospital systems cuz doctors are Scared! One Kaiser doctor speaking to a morbidly obese patient recently simply asked her, “What are Your goals for your healthcare?” Then a tiny pamphlet was given on weight loss classes that was so tiny- it was hard to read. 🤷‍♀️

Amazing lecture!

I shared this video. Excellent!

Thank you for this podcast.

This was very informative!

So much incredible information! Thank you!!

Personally I learned about cheese years ago…never really understood why I need to not even touch. Eggs as well. Now I know. ❤ 17:15

❤❤Thank you. Please keep good info coming in❤❤

Amazing lecture ❤❤ thank you 😃

You are awesome Chef AJ

❤@CHEF AJ another good one here!

Such great info. Thank you

Exactly, 🚭🌐♀️🛡️Chef AJ, Antinflammatory Diet, AVOID SUGAR, AVOID WHEAT, AVOID SODA, AVOID PROCESSED MEAT, AVOID FRIED FOODS, NO DOUGHNUTS!

Thanks CHEF AJ for your expository discource, I Really Need someone sane to explain Intelligently the REAL PROBLEM!

Thank you!

Loved and frightened by her studies on meat, I am really trying to decrease meat in my diet, because I don’t feel good after eating meat even grass fed beef and chicken. Thanks for the info and wish it was known to everyone.

WoW such a deep dive. If we could just shake up the world and get them to put down the sugar and pick up the beautiful plants that have been given to us! Cheers

Fabulous informative full of Prevention from a female doctor!

Nutrient Dense, Beta Carotene Foods, Contain Vitamin A, Sweet 🍠 Potatoes, Carrot Juice

Over 7000 views! I hope everyone shares this with their local hospitals, school nurses, and health science teachers in your area, and state/federal agencies such as National Hospital Association and others!

This is amazing - she puts it all together

Wow! Who knew eating white flour & sugar products would increase IGF-1

Cannot believe the egg has so much cholesterol, I have ulcerative colitis and during m'y flare- ups I am monitored ( regular blood tests), never got high cholesterol levels! Which is apparently à miracle as I eat an egg a day ( sometimes two if I am eating an omelette for breakfast), I do this for years... however I am more like a flexitarian- pescatarian and I have given up red meat years ago and have chicken like once or twice à week. I try to eat unprocessed, no bacon, hot dog etc. The thing is that those who eat eggs and have high cholesterol do not ONLY eat eggs! Eggs alone do not increase cholesterol, it is the western diet that does! ( there are people who are like 90 percent plantbased who eat fresh eggs sometimes and do not have high cholesterol levels) The overall dietary patterns count for the diseases not the individual foods alone. But thanks for the info, did not know I was eating so much cholesterol, somewhat it is not getting to me...

1:00:00 As an obese person I can say I love when my doctors talk to me about it. If they don’t even mention it, I feel like they don’t care about me.

It depends on the type and subtype of cancer. For example breast cancer( type); triple negative ( subtype).After spends hours and hours of reading peer reviewed medical journal articles I discovered that some cancer feed on fats, some on sugars/carbs which would include fruits and vegetables, some on an amino acid, etc. But one thing that seems to be a helpful common is total avoidance of ALL processed foods. Also regardless of type, it seems cancer patients have two things in common....unhealthy gut microbiome and toxins.

I loved this interview. I would love to know her take on gluten. I am a whole-food plant based foodie, but there is conflicting information on gluten and I'm not sure what to do with it.

It’s Elizabeth Shue, who this amazing doctor looks like! ❤

Let food but thy medicine ❤

Great job Dr Ann! Has anyone told the carnivore herd about all this? They are pretty convinced eating lots of meat is the way to go........... I tried to tell some of them once and was booed off the RU-vid stage.....

The soy issue is so confusing. I'd love to see a debate between one of these docs and Dr. Peter Rogers or researcher Dr. Anthony Jay who wrote the book "Estrogeneration" and does not think soy is good for us. CHEF AJ...MAKE IT HAPPEN 😊😊😊❤

If the oncologists advocate plant based diet, then there will not be cancer patients to give these expensive cancer treatments. No one told me to lose weight, had hysterectomy was told initially my endometrial cancer is stage 1b and not given chemo and a little radiation, thinking it's taken out and life is too short to eat whatever I want. The only thing I got when I ask them, is to "eat healthy" whatever that means. I know, I need to be responsible for myself but when I was initially diagnosed, I didn't researched because it gave me anxiety. Fast forward 2 years after, it came back and metastasized to my lymp nodes. Now, I need radiation, chemo and immuno.

I'm a breast cancer survivor making the transition to plant based diet. However, I'm also raise pigs and chickens for food.....i want to know if these studies about meat look at the difference in people who eat pasture raised or grass fed meat VS commercially raised animals? I also think that traditional meat diets are accompanied with very poor quality ingredients like gravy, condiments, fried foods, cheese, processed meats etc....i want see a study on people who eat naturally raised animals and omit unhealthy food choices....I'm transitioning to plant based for the emotional side of eating animals more than dietary needs based on my thoughts mentioned above....

Thanks a lot. Dietary cholesterol only comes from animals. Such a great truth that everyone needs to know clearly. God bless!

NIH had a several studies on garlic in the treatment of COVID 19.

Cooked vs raw for nutrient density?

Thank you so much. May I pls ask: 1- For people with chronic high cholesterol (whole family has) can statins reduce risk? 2- Any thoughts on paring plant based diet with intermitent fasting pls? Thank you! ❤

Thanks a lot. Such a great presentation. Yes, the majority of people need to overhaul their diet and lifestyle. My best wishes to all VEGANs, and I really hope that they will all adopt 100% whole food plant based diet and cut out all cigarettes and alcohol and pills and supplements and all junks and poisons and toxins, and exercise a lot everyday and be the healthiest and happiest! God bless!

Thanks Chef AJ, I wish Dr. Pittier would lecture to elementary & HSchools. But I learned long ago that you can't talk about Politics, Religion or the food people eat. They just don't want to change what they eat. Its our horrible social conditioning since birth that keeps people eating the foods they grew up and what gives them diseases that can be preventable, along with cancers. After 30+ years I'm done telling others to help themselves to become healthy. SMH.

Great presentation!!! And from an radiation oncologist! Yay!!

Thank you Chef, AJ, for bringing on great gas with their professional knowledge, and gifts, and sharing with the world! I’ve tried vegan, and vegetarian, knowing that animal flesh is not good for human consumption! I don’t like the way the plant base I don’t like to say diet because it’s the world die in it, but the way we sustain our plant base food! I’m already a thin, built, woman, and when growing plant base/vegan/vegetarian actually makes me look sickly! I would love to live a long, healthy life, but I don’t want to walk around continue to look sickly. I am not a big meat eater, at first times I do consume meat, which consist of some fish, mainly with bones, And plenty of vegetables, I do eat, yams, or mainly sweet potatoes! I am stuck in a hard rock as my dear sweet mother used to say, I really don’t know what to do in a situation like this! When one gets a certain age over 60 of age, personally don’t want to look like I’m sickly, I know exercises is important, which I don’t do that much, but continue to stretch daily! Please in the advice, I would truly appreciate also, these doctors are mainly in one high income areas, I am, now retired, and income is lower, but have a concern about my health! I truly believe environment plays, important role, and accessibility for people! Most of the doctors that you have come when your show, do not really refer patina mean for me, because of certain elements! It’s really sad when people wants to stay healthy they have to they have a very rich life of income to do so! Now, I truly overstaying understand that doctors I went to school for years, and the slash want to make a great income, but sometimes they are overly charging, the only the rich can afford, at one time I was considered middle income, but the world we live in so much grief. I don’t know what category the world has put me in, and I know I speak to a lot of hard-working friends. Some of them are still working in professional feels, but if you have lost the other significant/husbands, and now it’s only one income, I know this is a long text, but I needed to get my thoughts out, I pray that people will read this entirety! Again, thank you

what would you advise to put in a stomach feeding tube? husband is going through chemo and radiation and needs to gain weight they want to put a formula of crap glucose and a bunch of other cancer causing chemicals. he cant eat by mouth because he has mouth pain from thrush I read that thrush can be caused from a b-12 and or an iron deficiency. scared to supplement iron because dr peter rogers says iron feeds cancer

I don't eat meat anymore, no chicken, no pork, no burgers, Really, NO BACON!

I’m positive for BRACA 1 but my Sister was not.

45:00 What if you’re obese but also a vegan? Is there a reduced risk to obesity-related cancers if the person is a vegan? (Clean vegan not processed and/or sugar)

Oddly I don’t tolerate plant based proteins. Guess we’re all different.

Im not a big meat eater but about once or twice a month put either 1/ 2 cup of diced chicken. or fish on my salad. How much per month is tolerable without causing issues? My mother and both grandmothers died of cancer

Correction of my first text over an hour ago. I meant to say, i’ve gotten off track a little bit, and know I need to quickly not to use butter, sometimes coffee creamer, along with an scrambled egg, every now, and then! I do make every efforts daily to eat whole plant-based foods! believe in plant-based foods. Also, to note I am a little more blessed than some people/ families! Especially, those that have children, who truly want to eat more healthier! in some areas, whole organic, fruits, and vegetables are not relatively accessible, which I make every effort to buy! Also, we have to remember that there are unfortunately, too many GMO, fruits, and vegetables! understanding/Overstanding, the little stickers on fruits/vegetables, if is another nine is supposed to be organic, but if it isn’t, and a three or four supposedly is GMO, I am truly elated, and thanking you Chef AJ for bringing Conscious, professional medical/Nutritionists /, who cares about people, health and their well-being! Again, thank you Chef, AJ🦋

“It’s in the back burner” because recommending nutrition, exercise etc, doesn’t pay the bills, doctors can’t make money from those recommendations. For example, I asked my oncologist about food sources aromatase inhibitors instead of tamoxifen because of the osteoporosis side effect of the drug, she was non-comital. So I didn’t start the chemical drug. I really appreciate Dr Pittier🙏🏾💕🌹

So does that mean you shouldn't eat celery? Also seems like fruits and vegetables also naturally raise IGF1.

SOBRIETY 🧬🚭🛡️🌐
