Description

Increased consumption of animal-derived food after 1945

In Japan dramatic lifestyle changes occurred after World War II. To examine the experience of Japan as a clue to the etiology, trends in the male mortality rates of prostatic cancers from 1947 to 1998 were related to changes in dietary practices. The death rate of prostatic cancer increased 25-fold almost linearly after the war. The intake of milk, meat, and eggs increased 20-, 10-, and 7-fold, respectively, after the war. 

Although breast and ovarian cancers are rare in Japan compared with other developed countries, the female mortality rates increased. Over the past 50 years (1947-1997), the age-standardized death rates of breast and ovarian cancers increased about 2- and 4-fold, respectively, and the respective intake of milk, meat, and eggs increased 20-, 10-, and 7-fold. 

The increase in the annual death rates from prostatic cancer, breast and ovarian cancers might be due to the lifestyle changes (increased consumption of animal-derived food) that occurred after 1945.

In the past fifty years, our diet in the Western World has become increasingly more unnatural. A transition was taking place toward greater consumption of foods of animal origin, instead of plant-based diets. The population explosion and the famine on earth has led to the breeding of animals solely for consumption. Genocide, the accelerated extinction of species, and Ecocide, large environmental damage are the consequences.  The intensification of animal agriculture is associated with the emergence of zoonotic infectious diseases, environmental degradation, and the epidemics of chronic disease, cancer and obesity.

Let us start with a quick overview of how to prevent with plant-based food chronic diseases, cancer and obesity (page 12). Thereafter follow facts about the intensification of animal agriculture and finally the scientific facts about the unhealthy effects of the changes in our modern  Western diet.
