carcinogens, are formed during spray drying, and a toxin called lysinoalanine is formed during alkaline processing.24 Numerous artificial flavorings, particularly MSG, are added to soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein products to mask their strong «beany» taste, and impart the flavor of
meat.25
Colon cancer occurs when high levels of dietary vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats, along with certain
carcinogens, are acted on by certain enzymes in the cells lining the colon, leading to tumor formation.14 This explains the fact that in industrialized countries, where there are many
carcinogens in the diet and where consumption of vegetable oils and
carcinogens is high, some studies have correlated
meat - eating with colon cancer; but in traditional societies, where vegetable oils are absent and the food is free of additives,
meat - eating is not associated with cancer.
You should also avoid allowing fat to drip — this creates smoke that deposits
carcinogens back onto the
meat.
In addition, the alkaline soaking solution produces a
carcinogen, lysinealine, and reduces the cystine content, which is already low in the soybean.13 Lacking cystine, the entire protein complex of the soybean becomes useless unless the diet is fortified with cystine - rich

meat, eggs and dairy products.

Polyunsaturated fats such as corn oil and soybean oil are highly unstable and vulnerable to oxidation — and oxidation, in turn, is linked to cancer — while the omega - 6 fatty acids that predominate in vegetable oils have been shown to accelerate the growth of tumor cells.6 As Fallon and Enig explain, 4 excessive consumption of toxic polyunsaturated oils — not red
meat — represents a known mechanism for colon cancer: «Colon cancer occurs when high levels of dietary vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats, along with certain
carcinogens, are acted on by certain enzymes in the cells lining the colon, leading to tumor formation» [Emphasis added].
A diet high in animal protein seems to increase the risk as well, possibly due to blood components in
