If you care about avoiding cancer, in addition to Vit D you should be aware of this interesting study finding cancer fighting foods using machine learning: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-45349-y https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-45349-y
Figure 4 shows the foods and you can download the data from there as well for your own analysis.
- Beltiras 7y agoDon't have any links handy but apparently keto and lowcarb increases survival odds.

- sd_mikey 7y agoThere’s some specific targeted use when it comes to enhancing outcomes of chemotherapy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5842847/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5842847/
- jjeaff 7y agoJust a guess, but keto diets are usually devoid of processed foods. I would wager less processed, pre-packaged foods would probably decrease cancer rates.
- WillPostForFood 7y agothe parent is saying keto may help survivability for cancer. The study you posted is about overall longevity, and specifically excludes people with cancer. Depending on the type of cancer, there is growing evidence that keto, or elimination of carbs, does reduce tumor growth. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5842847/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5842847/
- andrewjrhill 7y agoWell that's fascinating...
- dvfjsdhgfv 7y ago> Figure 4 shows the foods This figure literally talks to me: "You should drink more tea!"
- x2f10 7y agoThe figure's largest circle is tea. What kind? Any kind?
- ThatMightBePaul 7y agoMost people don't realize that most varieties of tea come from the same plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_sinensis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_sinensis Your question is still a good one, but hoping the above context makes the "so tea as a blanket category just... works?" less absurd.
- pkaye 7y agoWe don't know if the processing steps for green tea vs black tea removes or adds to the beneficial quantities.
- hinkley 7y agoAccidentally took a workshop on this at a tea festival a number of years back. Turns out the “fermenting” of tea is mostly self contained. Autolysis, I think might be the word? If you recall that caffeine is an insecticide this makes sense. The caffeine is stored as a time bomb waiting for some insect to chew. Mastication mixes the caffeine crystals and the enzymes already present in the leaf, which then render it soluble and bang, dead insect. To process tea you just need to activate the enzymes the right amount at the right temperatures, and then dry the leaves before they can rot. If you get a proper oolong loose leaf, and let it steep long enough, you will find what looks like whole leaves in your cup. Not unlike those little dinosaur sponges they sell to kids. Just add water.
- dharma1 7y agoYou can also grow it yourself. Just bought 2 plants
- trickstra 7y agoInteresting, can you realistically get good results from that when growing it in mild climate like US or Europe? Indoor? Greenhouse?
