Sentences with phrase «against aflatoxin»

This past Thursday marked the one - year anniversary of The Curious Case of Campbell's Rats, wherein we took a wild ride through over two decades of animal research in which Dr. T. Colin Campbell of China Study fame showed that dietary protein, whether it comes from animals or plants, protects against aflatoxin toxicity and the initiation of new precancerous lesions while simultaneously promoting the growth of precancerous lesions that have already formed.

And it will destroy the genes in the fungus, effectively immunizing the plant against aflatoxin.

Not exact matches

In their initial experiments, Drott and colleagues confirmed that the poison appears to protect the mold against the insects: When they added aflatoxin to the fruit fly larvae's food, the maggots died and the fungus flourished.

I suspect that the optimal (but not necessarily intermediate) amount of protein would be whatever most protected against the formation of pre-cancerous lesions to begin with, but that even this amount would be powerless to protect against the artificial induction of such lesions by colossal quantities of aflatoxin.

Nevertheless, Dr. Campbell's own research showing that adequate protein is needed to maintain robust glutathione status, to promote proper detoxification of aflatoxin, and to protect against the initation of precancerous lesions will provide valuable health information for generations to come for those of us who look beyond the pages of The China Study.

The model of aflatoxin - dosing used in these studies, discussed in more detail below, was much more realistic than the model used in most of Campbell's studies, and thus the balance of the evidence suggests that adequate protein likely offers very powerful protection against cancer in someone who hasn't already developed the disease.

If protein had such a profound ability to protect against the toxic effect of aflatoxin, however, is it possible that it could also protect against its carcinogenesis?

With more realistic doses of aflatoxin, protein is actually tremendously protective against cancer, while protein - restricted diets prove harmful.

Other studies have found that Bentonite clay has properties that fight against mycotoxins and aflatoxins from mold.
