Spread of Breast Cancer Linked To Compound In Asparagus and Other Foods (theguardian.com)
Asparagus and other foods like potatoes, nuts, legumes and soy contain a compound known as asparagine, which researchers believe helps drive the spread of breast cancer to other organs. "When scientists reduced asparagine in animals with breast cancer, they found that the number of secondary tumors in other tissues fell dramatically," The Guardian reports. "The spread of malignant cells, often to the bones, lungs and brain, is the main cause of death among patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer." From the report: Asparagine is an amino acid that is made naturally in the body as a building block for proteins. But it is also found in the diet, and in high levels in certain meats, vegetables and dairy products. The international team of cancer specialists from Britain, the U.S., and Canada studied mice with an aggressive form of breast cancer. The mice develop secondary tumors in a matter of weeks and tend to die from the disease within months. Writing in the journal Nature, the researchers describe how they reduced the ability of breast cancer to spread in the animals by blocking asparagine with a drug called L-asparaginase. To a lesser extent, by putting the animals on a low-asparagine diet worked too. Inspired by the results, the scientists examined records from human cancers and found that breast tumors that churned out the most asparagine were most likely to spread, leading patients to die sooner. The same was seen in cancers of the head, neck and kidney.

How safe is this L-asparaginase? A viable and simple way to slow cancer down, giving you more time to get better?
Straight to the blowing stuff out of proportion department...

...three years ago.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
I knew it.
99% of the world consumes (unknowningly) a ridiculous amount of soy products.
The remaingin 1% / The Dutch only eat potatoes (since the last 20 decades).
So what does the world need to eat to avoid this issue?
Hated the taste all my life. Makes me gag. Give me broccoli and Brussels sprouts any day over Asparagus. Those veggies are delicious.
Cancer from Asparagus? Not likely, at least in the amounts a human would really eat.
But nothing, even half a pound of cheese smothering the Asparagus will help make it taste non-nasty!
I knew that Asparagus was the devil's vegetable, not only is it disgusting, it makes your pee smell bad too. Any "food" that does this simply couldn't be healthy.
Oh but we're f*cked.
"Asparagine is present in plants proteins in large amount.
Animal sources: dairy, whey, beef, poultry, eggs, fish, lactalbumin, seafood.
Plant sources: asparagus, potatoes, legumes, nuts, seeds, soy, whole grains. Asparagine is found in potatoes so eating French fries will give you asparagine along with starch. It is also found on roasted coffee."
Nuts, whole grains, seeds, eggs, soy, potatoes, legumes, poultry, dairy, beef, seafood.
That's a lot to avoid. I wonder which are highest in asparagine, then perhaps having less of the highest ranking ones would be a start.
Twinstiq, game news
This just came in :
Research causes cancer in rats. More news at 11:00.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
I knew asparagus was the cause of all suffering! I knew it!!
You aren't going to get me to eat that stuff anymore, suckers!!!
Of course. Since the public at large will only pay for the absolutes they can get away with, media at large has to resort to "persuasive" means to pay their bills. Just think of what the internet would be like if people actually payed for things they found useful in their lives, instead of trying to wiggle out of doing so every chance they got like it's some kind of punishment.
It's not a natural compound. It's something added.
Just because some uses them to construct buildings for nefarious purposes, doesnâ(TM)t automatically mean cinder blocks are bad.
These three elements seem to be the root cause of nearly every illness. Yet they use them all the time in our food, and our body has a large concentration of this in our systems ready to kill us at any time.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Vegetables, especially Asparagus, will Kill You!!
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Soy is now in a large number of prepared foods. People probably eat 1000x more soy than asparagus. If the compound is a real problem why wasn't soy in the title? That would be a lot more informative.
I am not surprised that there may be some compounds in foods that can cause cancer. But what we do not know is how they do and with what other compounds they must mix with in order to potentially cause cancer. If you eat a crappy diet and take some supplements that are purported to prevent cancer, you can still end up getting cancer because the compounds that are supposed to fight cancer react totally differently when mixed with the crappy foods.
Notice how all these health problems got so bad after the dermatoligists told everyone to stay inside or if you must be outside wear sunscreen, hats, long sleeves etc.
Vitamin d helps a lot of stuff.
So meats, vegetables and dairy products - all they left out is fruits. Sort of like what I say about vegans - if they pull the moral superiority card out I mention that trees and plants also communicate, reproduce etc. They're just as alive as say a chicken or us. So eat air.
Cancers need the same fundamental chemicals that healthy cells need to grow. It makes sense to target a fundamental building block that affects cancer more than healthy cells. However, if you take this too far or for too long and you will kill the host, so this is not a cure. More and more cancers are becoming "managed" and fundamental amino acid suppression could be a another management tool. What is breast cancer's second most observed amino acid? Limit intake and take high doses of L-asparaginase for two weeks and then for a week take high doses of the second enzyme and then back to L-asparaginase for a two weeks. This way you hinder the cancer while giving the host's healthy cells the ability to recover somewhat.
Soon to be read: "Food consumption causes cancer. Stop eating now!"
This.
Injecting minute amounts of two immune-stimulating agents directly into solid tumors in mice can eliminate all traces of cancer in the animals, including distant, untreated metastases, according to a study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
I reserve the write to mangle english.
I knew something smelled funny.

So what you're telling me is that literally everything in this world is made to kill us in some way. Nuts and veggies were the last straw...
My brother-in-law was told to eat buckets of asparagus by the cancer doctors. Guess that was a bad idea. He died 4 years after the first diagnosis.
Never give a penny to the mainstream "anti-cancer" research groups.
These Big Pharma shills actually want us to believe that all natural fruits and vegetables are giving us cancer, but that high-fructose corn syrup, pharmaceutical drugs and diet soda are just fine.
Who actually believes this crap?
