January is one of the most popular months for diets and according to Hitwise, an internet intelligence gathering service, the Hallelujah Diet was the most searched for diet this season. And probably with good reason, it works.

Hundreds of researchers taking part in a 5 year study reviewing over 7,000 cancer related studies now have specific dietary recommendations to avoid cancer.
The recommendations include:
- avoid all processed meats
- limit intake of all meats (including fresh meat)
- eat mostly plant based foods
- be active for at least 30 minutes daily
- stay lean and fit
- avoid sugary drinks (like soda)
- eat fast foods sparingly, if at all
- breastfeed children for at least 6 months
First and foremost, the study concluded that processed meat of any type should be avoided completely for life. Processed meats include deli meats, sausages, hot dogs, bacon, links, canned meats, beef jerky, meats in pizza and sauces, meats in kids lunch packs, meats in canned soups, meats in packaged frozen foods, ham, salami and pepperoni.
The main culprit in these foods is sodium nitrite, followed by MSG and other chemicals and additives. They are proven to cause disease and other health issues and should be completely avoided for life.
The study also recommended limiting intake of all meats to 11oz per week, if at all. Their diet recommendations are to eat mostly a plant based diet, avoiding sugary drinks and alcohol and eating a small amount of unprocessed grains daily.
These recommendations are not surprising, mostly a confirmation that what most of us have known for years. To avoid disease, and specifically cancer, concentrate on eating a diet of fresh plant based foods including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and natural grains and stay active outside in the sunshine daily.

Not surprisingly, a study from the National Heart and Lung Institute of London reported that a diet high in fruit and vegetable consumption, as found in the Mediterranean diet, helps keep allergies away in children.
The researchers interviewed 700 children aged 7-18 and found that those eating a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables had 60% less allergies than those that ate fewer amounts. Out of the study, 80% of the children at fresh fruit daily and 2/3 of those ate fresh vegetables as well.
Eating nuts also decreased additional allergic symptoms the study reported. The children in the study that ate nuts at least 3 times a week reported fewer specific allergic symptoms.
This indicates, as most all research does, that an increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is important to maintain good health. I also suspect that allergies decreased since the Mediterranean diet is lower in consumption of dairy products. Dairy products are highly congesting and proven to cause allergies. The SAD (standard American diet) normally is high in dairy product consumption. Your mom was right, eat those fruits and vegetables!
