INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON FOOD 2005

International Research Conference on Food, Nutrition and Cancer, 2005

sponsored by the World Cancer Research Foundation International and the American Institute for Cancer Research, July 14-15, 2005 Washington, DC

Reported by Ann Fonfa

I first attended this annual conference in 1997. It was the year that they introduced the research book ‘Food, Nutrition and the Prevention of Cancer: a global perspective’. I was very impressed. The group served a magnificent lunch consisting of a variety of the world’s vegetarian dishes and massive amounts of fruit.

To this day, the conference serves more fruit than any other meeting and NO soda for which I offer congratulations.

However, the research that amazed and thrilled me in 1997 is now old news, yet is still the subject of many of the presentations today. There was a talk on green tea or ECGC (the ‘active’ ingredient) in which the presenter (more further on) finally stated that they drank green tea in her lab daily.

But she said in response to my questioning whether she was ready to recommend green tea use to people who were dealing with cancer NOW, she said it would take 9-10 cups a day to get the required amount of the ‘active’ element.

This morning I was thinking about that statement as I ate my breakfast. The problem with presentations on the ‘active’ element/ingredient of any possibly useful substance is that we do not live on green tea alone. By that I mean, we really do NOT need so much of any one substance if we have a healthy nutritional program consisting of many well-researched ingredients.

Yes, I believe and the Annie Appleseed Project puts forth that a combination of the foods containing the ‘active’ ingredients that researchers love to CONTINUE to look at, are what really matter. Eat whole foods in combinations. Then you do not need a huge amount of any one nutrient. If researchers did not have a vested interest in following their ‘molecule’ forever, this message would be expressed by all!

Just as I questioned a former presenter on the need for 60 minutes of aerobic activity per day – my contention is that we need to ADD physical actions to each part of our day by walking rather than taking elevators or escalators, parking farther from the store, carrying our own bags, etc – so I have begun questioning the active element/ingredient notion.

And combining exercise with food, with detoxification, with mind/body/spirit and dietary supplements forms the basis of The Annie Appleseed Project’s philosophy.
