Gary
I struggled with cutting out the dairy.
Most dairy I used to consume was milk so I started there.
Coconut milk on the muesli (hand made with nut raisins etc) together with sliced kiwi, sliced banana or sliced pineapple in rotation is delicious.
Next was the tea/coffee. I went onto green tea but tried a few mixes and settled on green tea with pineapple and grapefruit black with no sugar (sometimes I add a little Stevia but not often nowadays. Cheese I went onto goats milk cheese and find it very tasty..
I do have toast with organic butter (I tried the goats milk butter but it was yucky) and a bit of organic honey.

I'm trying to graze ie with 5 small meals a day but it doesn't always work

I don't touch processed foods or red meats preferring now to eat salads, fish, chicken, baked potatoes, lots of vegetables.
I do have the odd red wine but not so much.
I'm Trying to follow the Mediteranean Diet.

I'm enjoying the food and certainly don't miss the steaks.
Bacon and beans/tomatoes I have maybe once every 2 weeks to keep my sanity. 😎

Fortunately Alan I didn't have to give up bacon it gave me up as makes me ill :-)

Healey will take a look at some of those options

I am now drinking black tea then a green tea etc

Does anyone know why black tea is different to green tea as it all comes from same plant just picked from different parts
Why is one good and one bad

Alan is the oil used for cooking or for dressings?

To look at the seed you would not believe it is edible because it doesn't look appetising
What could you compare it too flavour wise ?

Hello, forgive me if I am thick, but I don't get this hormones in the beef and milk? Farmers are not allowed to give cattle hormones, so is this just natural hormones in their meat andi milk? Surely female hormones in the milk can't play a part in prostate cancer? Interested as we are beef farmers. Thanks.

Dear SJBT,

If you read some of Dr Jane Plants books / website, you will soon get the drift, it is not just hormones but all the other growth factors etc.

Her point in a nutshell is - The Chinese didn't used to get breast cancer or prostate cancer, and the Chinese don't drink milk.  They don't have much beef either, pork, duck and carp were their staples.

The other myth is you need to consume dairy to make strong bones. 

I guess that your cattle have strong bones, and all they eat is grass, hay and oil cake?  

:)

There are more than just reproductive hormones in milk - growth hormones are thought to be the concern. Any mother's milk is designed to aid the growth and health of her babies, whether she is human or not. 

 

As an aside, human breast milk contains PSA - I wonder if cow or goat milk does too?

Ok, so as I breast fed all my boys for at least 2 years each they are more likely to get cancers? Not sure that can be right. My other half wasn't breast fed anyway.

I have read before about the Chinese not getting breast and prostate cancers.

I will have to read up on it some more one day.

Breast milk is meant for human babies, and cows milk is meant for baby cows, both contain the hormones etc required for their own species, rather than for each other.

I'm one of those people who are not sure what to believe so in terms of my lifestyle I haven't changed anything. I haven't eaten meat for about 50 years but I still got Prostate Cancer. I personally assume that all of the food advice around is, either someone is trying to sell us something, or maybe someone just believes, or wants to believe something? Who knows?

Who really knows what causes it

But try and alter your diet to help
Cut out dairy
Drink pomegranate juice -eat broccoli-drink green tea-add tumeric

Supplements- have started taking Pomi T which contains all these known cancer fighters

Eating healthily can only benefit people.Combined with a little exercise to make you fitter surely it has got to help your body fight this awful disease
