Hello:
I've commented on another thread last month that Dr. Greger, NutritionFacts.org has the evidence in his videos of high quality research studies showing bacon and processes meats as Class I Carcinogens. Also, any animal product has the potential to stimulate cancer cell growth because they all contain a special biochemical IFC-1.
In one study, the tumors actually shrunk.
I have attached screen shots from his video on Breast and Prostate cancer. Whole plant diets also save us men from heart disease. The Ornish Study is solid evidence for the whole foods diet.
The American Dietetics Association produced a position paper about 10 years ago, showing the veggie or true vegan diet(whole foods) was not only the healthiest diet, but actually preventative for the big 5 that Americans face- certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. See file attached here.
See several 5-6 min. videos at https://nutritionfacts.org/

@drcopp My friend went on the Ornish diet after a (completely unexpected) coronary and stents, but it seemed a little old fashioned and behind the times and oversimplifies. I'll say once again, eliminating red meat is not nearly as important as balancing your omega 6-3-9, a red meat carnivore diet will unbalance your omegas. And really there are several other EFA issues. This may be a fair criticism of keto diets, too. Balance and moderation has a lot going for it.
Even in diabetic diets what is most important is moderation, you can eat small amounts of almost anything just so the totals stay below a certain level.
And anti-inflammatory foods and supplements, turmeric/curcumin and colored fruits and vegetables - and some mushrooms for the ergothioneine - also teas with hibiscus or berries, reinforce these moderate diets.
