In short, proper nutrition doesn't just prevent damage; it affects the way our bodies respond to already damaged genes, often mitigating disease symptoms as they arise or even preventing them completely, sometimes with no additional medication or other treatments needed. In experimental animal studies in my own laboratory, cancer progression could even be reversed by nutritional changes. And researchers are now producing evidence that WFPB nutrition can turn cancer-producing genes off altogether.
T. Colin Campbell, Howard Jacobson Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition
The more work I did with AF and diet, the more I became convinced that AF wasn't the villain most scientists assumed it to be when it came to liver cancer. In fact, I started to see that none of the accepted "causes" of cancer, in the absence of a high-animal-protein diet, mattered that much. Not genetics, not chemical carcinogens like AF, not viruses. But the cancer industry, researchers, policy makers, the media, and the public focus almost exclusively on genes, chemicals, and viruses.
Nutrition did not even make the list, even though it was becoming clear from my experiments and those of others that nutrition was cancer's on-off switch.
