Palmitic acid, a saturated fat concentrated in meat and dairy, can boost the metastatic potential of cancer cells through the fat receptor CD36. Randomized controlled trials show that lowering saturated fat intake can lead to improved breast cancer survival. This is the first and second videos in a three part series on cancer metastasis. The third and final one is The Food That Can Downregulate the Metastatic Cancer Gene (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the food that can downregulate a metastatic cancer gene/). This reminds me of my video Cholesterol Feeds Breast Cancer Cells (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/Cholesterol Feeds Breast Cancer Cells), one of many on cancer. If you’re looking for a good overview, check out How Not to Die from Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how not to die from cancer). I released another video on cancer metastasis. See Blocking the Cancer Metastasis Enzyme MMP 9 with Beans and Chickpeas (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/blocking the cancer metastasis enzyme mmp 9 with beans and chickpeas/). What else can we eat—or avoid—to improve breast cancer survival? Check out these videos: • Breast Cancer Survival Vegetable (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast cancer survival vegetable) • Breast Cancer Survival and Soy (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast cancer survival and soy/) • BRCA Breast Cancer Genes and Soy (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/brca breast cancer genes and soy/) • Breast Cancer Survival and Lignan Intake (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast cancer survival and lignan intake/) • Flaxseeds and Breast Cancer Survival: Epidemiological Evidence (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flaxseeds breast cancer survival epidemiological evidence/) • Flaxseeds and Breast Cancer Survival: Clinical Evidence (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flaxseeds breast cancer survival clinical evidence/) • Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast cancer survival and trans fat/) • Breast Cancer Survival, Butterfat, and Chicken (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast cancer survival butterfat and chicken/) New subscribers to our e newsletter always receive a free gift.
