Scientists discover new cause of cancer that hits 10,000 Britons every year - diet mistake could be to blame

Scientists could be on the verge of a medical breakthrough in understanding what's driving a rise in blood cancers among older adults.

Research has long suggested that the colony of trillions of bacteria living in our digestive systems – known as the gut microbiome – could be the key to our overall health.

The more diverse those microscopic colonies are, the better our immunity to a host of diseases from heart disease to dementia.

But US researchers have now discovered that patients with leukemia — an aggressive form of blood cancer — have higher levels of one specific bacteria in their guts.

Known medically as ADP-heptose, the bacterial sugar has previously been linked to diets high in processed foods and sugar, and low in fibre, fruit and veg.

The tests on mice showed that molecules, produced by ADP-heptose, may help accelerate the growth of pre-cancerous blood cells.

Dr Daniel Starczynowski, director of the advanced leukemia therapies at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio and study co-author, said: 'This study significantly advances our understanding about how blood cancers develop and progress, especially in older adults.

'The exciting news is that we also may have a way to intervene early — before these pre-cancer cells evolve into more aggressive disease.

'We look forward to conducting further studies to pursue this new approach.'

Dr Puneet Agarwal, associate staff scientist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and study lead author, added: 'Taking care of your gut could be more important than ever.'

In the study, the researchers tracked blood cells in mice to see how they acquire mutations.

They found early-stage pre-cancerous cells dramatically grew when exposed to ADP-heptose from the gut bacteria.

This was mainly found among older mice but also among young mice who had poor gut health.

"Now, there is a new discovery, and that is these fibrous clots, caused by CV19 vax injections, are showing up to be contagious or infectious. "

I posted the above misinformation because I am trolling for suckers stupid enough to subscribe to my legendary Socrates for only $150 a month.

This story on the heels of another study which portends that e-Colin is the cause of colon cancers in youths.

It’s easy to term it ‘junk science’ but because it feeds the medical and pharmaceutical industries, clearly there’s a nefarious purpose behind the idiocy.

Bacteria living in our digestive systems – known as the gut microbiome – could be the key to our overall health.

Probiotics said to be a good leverage against it?.

“but in the medical field, correlation is part of the ‘science’. Almost everything is based on statistical outcome as we just don’t understand how it all works”

It’s not always like that when we did real hard science based on biochemistry and physiology, the Krebs cycle (and later the Randle cycle dear to carnivores) comes to my mind. We still do such science but it is drowned in junk science especially in the nutrition field.

Every paper must be assessed first based on the quality of the experimental setup and evidence.
Observational studies with ridiculous relative risks such as 15% are not on the same footing as randomized trials with known physiological mechanisms and reproducible results. Yet they are lumped together and treated both as gospel by the illiterate media and populace. That’s the sad state of the current science in general and medical science especially.

Seems that way. I recently had to take antibiotics for ten days for an impacted tooth and now I am trying to build back my microbiome with yogurts and fruits and nuts.............

“Two years ago I figured I’d try Turmeric thinking it was just a spice, how can it hurt”

---

A lot of spices can be toxic if overdosed. Nutmeg or cinnamon for example are to be avoided for people with liver problem.
Turmeric is the current darling of the “healthy eating” sphere but if it has the purported effects at the dose you use, I’ll bet the barn it has also side effects.
Maybe your backpains was relieved because you cut out carbs and not because of turmeric. That’s what carnivores feel systematically and the mechanism is well known (inflammation by carbs and anti-inflamatory effect of animal fats).

Works for me too

I can hear them now, all the little creatures in my gut:

[Vaduz]

My intake of the probiotic supplements have murdered them thankfully.

Or it could be the shots...
