Eat MORE Red Meat to Fight Cancer?
I've been challenging the common misconception that red meat is unhealthy for years, but now there's even more scientific evidence to bolster my beliefs.
The narrative in mainstream health communities has been that red meat, especially processed varieties (think hot dogs and salami), can be a ticking time bomb for cancer due to the presence of certain compounds — like heme iron and hormones.
While concerns about the potential cancer risks associated with red meat have led many to approach it cautiously, a recent study published in Nature presents a surprising twist, suggesting that chowing down on beef, lamb, and dairy products could actually prevent cancer.
Science shows that trans-vaccenic acid (TVA), a fatty acid found in these foods, seems to turbocharge our immune cells into becoming lean, mean, tumor-fighting machines.
Scientists at the University of Chicago discovered a strong link between higher levels of TVA in the blood and a more robust response to immunotherapy. That's right — we're talking about TVA potentially stepping up as a nutritional supplement to give cancer treatments an extra edge.
By zeroing in on the nutrients and metabolites from food, scientists are unraveling how they impact people's health at a cellular level. And it turns out, TVA is a standout player, activating key immune pathways and enhancing anti-tumor immunity.
The research team even created a “blood nutrient” library from about 700 food-derived metabolites, and guess what? TVA topped the charts in boosting anti-tumor immunity in both human and mouse cells.
While the study showed that a TVA-enriched diet significantly slowed down tumor growth in mice and even improved responses to immunotherapy in lymphoma patients, the researchers are quick to restate the known health risks of excessive red meat consumption.
Still, this study is a fascinating glimpse into how certain nutrients, even from unexpected sources, can play a pivotal role in your body's fight against serious diseases, even certain types of cancer.
