  1. According to BBC News report: A diet rich in beans, nuts and cereals
    could be a way to prevent cancer, believe UK researchers.

  3. When your consumption of unsaturated fatty acids, especially
    polyunsaturated one, reaches a certain point, cancer rates go up
    significantly. This has been known for over 15 years now. Avoid
    pro-growth, stress-inducing substances means that consuming beans are
    not necessary. In fact, if you eat the wrong beans, or prepare them
    the wrong way, you can do great harm to your body, due to
    anti-nutritive factors. Also, peanuts, which are legumes, contain
    lectins that have been found to be quite atherogenic, which is
    something that is old news to researchers such as myself, but the
    mainstream media has not covered this much, but instead has touted
    peanuts (or even worse, peanut oil) as "good" because it is a
    "monounsaturated fat." In reality, these abstract categories, which
    were invented so that nutritionists could define an academic "turf,"
    are more misleading and harmful than helpful. When scientists actually
    looked at the molecules in peanuts, they found the lectins to be a
    major problem, but the tiny pebble of truth, that is, that deitary
    monounsaturated fatty acids are generally not as unhealthy as
    polyunsaturated ones (except for erucic acid, which is only found in
    large amounts in rapeseed oil) has been shoved down the public's
    throats, while the larger, more useful truth, that is, that one should
    avoid very stressful items like highly unsaturated fat sources, is
    hardly ever discussed, even though the evidencee at this point is so
    overwhelming one could hardly imagine a better scientific case ever
    being made in the field of "nutritional science."

  4. Just curious, is there a difference between raw and baked peanuts
    regarding the atherogenic aspect?
    beni.

  5. Hi,
    Peanuts and their oil are only atherogenic in rabbits on a hi
    cholesterol diet. They are used as a heart disease model because their
    system can not eliminate choelesterol.

  6. Sure you don't mean guinea pigs? I have been told ginea pigs are the only
    animals that can have cholesterol problems other than humans. They also are the
    only animals that cannot produce their own Vit C

    I'm pretty sure peanuts and their oil are thought to be atherogenic in
    humans, too, due to lectins.

    Why can't you and everyone in this thread understand:
    1) that this is off-topic to people who already have cancer (ie on
    alt.support.cancer) and watch your headers and quit crossposting.
    2) many of the people who come to alt.support.cancer are not newsgroup savvy
    and to them "strangers" are invading their safe place by crossposting. They
    don't know how to "block"and I'm tired of trying to instruct each of them,
    with each of their newsreaders.
    Don't crosspost, please watch your headers.
    Just because some idiot starts the crosspost, you don't have to (in your

  15. Hi,
    The vast majority of the work is done in rabbits, not guinea
    pigs.
    Lectins are probably atherogenic due to their ability attach
    sugars to the membranes of red blood cells and cause them to clump
    together, but niether peanuts nor their oil are. Beneficial substances
    predominate. Any substantial evidence to the contrary will be found
    only on scaremongering websites, not respectable medical journals. (I'm
    pretty sure.) Actual human evidence is scarce and mostly from large
    epidemioligical studies of all nuts and peanuts grouped together. They
    show a sensational benefit in cardivascular disease and mortality.
    I stopped eating peanuts several years ago because of small
    doubts about it's atherogenicity, larger ones about its
    carcinogenicity, and the fact that other nuts could easily be
    substituted. I now eat one oz/day of nuts, and some almond butter with
    sesame seeds added in. When the jar gets low and the butter hard, I add
    some olive oil. Sesamin may be very synergistic with vitamin E.

    Dang. Good idea. That last bit of almond butter can be added to the gravel
    driveway, though.

    Again, David, I realize that you aren't the one starting these threads.

    alt.support.cancer has a Charter which:
    1) lists the "on topics"
    2) lists what is or is not appropriate
    Crossposting is not appropriate outside the support community. (ie newsgroups
    that don't have "support" in them.
    However, even that hasn't worked well, because then other "support" newsgroupers
    have to read and remember what is or isn't appropriate (topics/behavior) on
    alt.support.cancer.
    So we were trying to keep the crossposts within the cancer community.
    But that doesn't work well, because some of the breast cancer and postate cancer
    posters don't like crossposts.
    So it's easier for me to tell people to leave alt.support.cancer out of their
    crossposts and for "crossposters" to remember to watch their headers and delete
    out alt.support.cancer, isn't it?

    Here's (part of) prodigy's AUP.
    So in theory, each time you reply to a post, you'd have to go check
    alt.support.cancer's "on topic" list and appropriate and not appropriate (lists)
    before deciding whether to delete that newsgroup (from yuor reply) or not.
    Isn't it just easier to delete alt.support cancer out of your replies?
    I cannot ascertain which newsreader you are using, so I cannot search on how to
    "view" enough hearders so that you can see which newsgroups you are replying to.
    I guess you'll have to use your "Help" function if you have one.

    something that is old news to researchers such as myself, but the
    mainstream media has not covered this much, but instead has touted
    peanuts (or even worse, peanut oil) as "good" because it is a
    "monounsaturated fat." In reality, these abstract categories, which
    were invented so that nutritionists could define an academic "turf,"
    are more misleading and harmful than helpful. When scientists actually
    looked at the molecules in peanuts, they found the lectins to be a
    major problem, but the tiny pebble of truth, that is, that deitary
    monounsaturated fatty acids are generally not as unhealthy as
    polyunsaturated ones (except for erucic acid, which is only found in
    large amounts in rapeseed oil) has been shoved down the public's
    throats, while the larger, more useful truth, that is, that one should
    avoid very stressful items like highly unsaturated fat sources, is
    hardly ever discussed, even though the evidencee at this point is so
    overwhelming one could hardly imagine a better scientific case ever
    being made in the field of "nutritional science."

    want to fill me in on what this paragraph has to to with isoflavones?
