"IP6 has the potential for adenocarcinoma"

Oncol Rep. 2008 Feb;19(2):563-6. Links Corn-derived
carbohydrate inositol hexaphosphate inhibits Barrett's
adenocarcinoma growth by pro-apoptotic mechanisms. McFadden
DW, Riggs DR, Jackson BJ, Cunningham C. Department of Surgery,
Robert C. Byrd Health Science Center, West Virginia
University, Morgantown, WV 26506, USA.
david.mcfadden@vtmednet.org.

Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is a naturally occurring
polyphosphorylated carbohydrate that is found in food sources
high in fiber content. IP6 has been reported to have
significant inhibitory effects against a variety of primary
tumors. We hypothesized that IP6 would inhibit the cell growth
rate of Barrett's adenocarcinoma in vitro. Two
Barrett's-associated adenocarcinoma cell lines, SEG-1 and
BIC-1, were treated with IP6 at 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0 mM
concentrations. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay.
Apoptosis and necrosis were evaluated by the Annexin V FITC
assay. Reductions (P<0.001) in cellular proliferation were
observed in both cell lines. IP6 decreased late apoptosis and
necrosis in BIC cells, whereas in SEG-1 cells, early
apoptosis, late apoptosis and necrosis were all increased by
IP6. IP6 decreases cellular growth by pro-apoptotic
mechanisms. Our findings suggest that IP6 has the
potential to become an effective adjunct for Barrett's
adenocarcinoma. Further studies are needed to evaluate
safety and clinical utility of this agent in patients
with Barrett's adenocarcinoma.

This paper does not alter my opinion, but rather
strengtens it.

My opinion is that IP6 is a natural poison, and insecticide,
produced by plants. Big Pharma is always looking for some
poison to use as a medicine. By injecting certain poisons into
the body, these poisons will be routed out of the body as
rapidly as possible, and possibly shipped to tumors being used
as toxic waste sites.

I learned nothing new here Iron, sorry.

It should be noted that dried corn products are a major
dietary source of aflatoxin, a powerful carcinogen.

Soo .. you **agree** taking phytate OUT of corn would be a ..

Since phytate IS the substance IN corn which keeps the

Evaluation of the effect of phytic (inositol phosphate) and
linoleic acids on the biosynthesis of aflatoxin
S. SHAHID-ALI1, D. L. PARK2, and H. Njapau2. (1) Food Science
Department, Louisiana State University, 111-Food Science
Bldg., Baton Rouge, LA 70803, (2) Center for Food Safety &
Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 200
C St. S.W., Washington D.C., DC 20204

Consumption of mycotoxins, especially aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), is
associated with occurrence of liver cancer. Naturally
aflatoxin contaminated corn extracts show a lower mutagenic
potential than pure AFB1 in the Salmonella/ microsomal assay,
presumably due to the presence of inositol phosphates (InsPs)
and linoleic acid. The role of InsPs and linoleic acid on the
overall risk posed by AFB1 occurrence is important since they
comprise more than 1% of the dry weight of cereals, oilseeds
and nuts. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of
the presence of InsP analogs and linoleic acid, on aflatoxin
production by Aspergillus flavus in Czapek-Dox liquid medium,
and on corn during storage. Czapek-Dox medium, containing
different phytic acid concentrations was inoculated with a
spore suspension of Aspergillus flavus and AFB1 production was
monitored by TLC during 25-days incubation at 28=B0C, in the
presence/absence of various ions. In the storage study, whole
kernel and cracked corn was also inoculated in the presence of
varying amounts of phytic and linoleic acids, in a controlled
environment for 5-weeks. Aflatoxin biosynthesis was monitored
every 4-days using HPLC. Inhibition of AFB1 biosynthesis in
liquid medium was observed as the concentration of InsP
increased. Complete inhibition of AFB1 production was recorded
at InsP levels of 0.5 and 1 mg/100ml in the absence of Fe++
and Zn++ ions. In storage, aflatoxin levels were ~50% lower in
samples separately treated with phytic and linoleic acids
after 14-days. Aflatoxin production in InsP-treated samples
was substantially lower than Linoleic acid-treated samples. No
such reductions were recorded in samples treated with
phytic-linoleic acids combination. Although individually
phytic and linoleic acids lower aflatoxin production, their
simultaneous presence negates this effect. These results do
not, however, reduce the benefits arising from reported
inhibition of aflatoxin mutagenicity/biosynthesis by the same
compounds.

I love to eat corn that I buy in frozen packages. Is this
considered dried? Will it be a source of aflatoxin? Should I
stop eating frozen corn?

Probably not. Aflatoxin is produced by a fungus that likes
dried corn, and peanuts among others. (it is a more serious
problem in peanuts than in corn).

Corn which is fresh when eaten, or when processed (canned or
frozen), will not have the fungus, or aflatoxin.

No. The aflatoxins are produced by a mold that infects corn
while it is being dried. Frozen corn is generally speaking
not dried.

While eating peanuts, I occasionally crunch a bitter one with
a foul taste. I immediately roll the mashed peanut with my
tongue and spit it out with saliva. Is this sufficient to
cancel the aflatoxin danger ?

I wouldn't eat peanuts, even if I knew they weren't moldy,
unless I knew my Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen status.

In this study, 10 out of 36 participants were found to be
positive for the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen, which causes
the cells of their rectum to divide rapidly (possible risk
factor for colorectal cancer) when they eat peanuts. The color
pictures which accompanied this article were quite
frightening. Haven't had a peanut since!

Gastroenterology 1998 Jan;114(1):44-9 Peanut ingestion
increases rectal proliferation in individuals with mucosal
expression of peanut lectin receptor. Ryder SD, Jacyna MR,
Levi AJ, Rizzi PM, Rhodes JM. Department of Gastroenterology,
Northwick Park Hospital, Middlesex, England.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The Thomsen-Friedenreich blood group
antigen (galactose beta 1,3-N-acetyl galactosamine alpha-)
acts as an oncofetal antigen in the colonic epithelium, with
low expression in normal adult epithelia but increasing to
fetal levels of expression in hyperplasia or malignancy.
Peanut lectin is one of the commonest dietary lectins that
binds this antigen. The aim of this study was to determine
whether peanut ingestion can alter rectal epithelial
proliferation.

METHODS: Thirty-six patients with normal colonic mucosa
consumed 100 g of peanuts each day for 5 days. Rectal mitotic
index was measured before and after ingestion, and changes in
proliferation were correlated with immunohistochemical
detection of lectin receptor expression by colonocytes and
fecal lectin activity as measured by hemagglutination assay.

RESULTS: Peanut ingestion caused a 41% increase in rectal
mucosal proliferation in individuals with macroscopically
normal mucosa who express TF antigen in their rectal mucosae
(10 of 36 patients studied). The proliferative response
correlated with fecal hemagglutinating activity, and peanut
lectin could be shown immunohistochemically within the
rectal mucosa.

CONCLUSIONS: The common expression of galactose beta
1,3-N-acetyl galactosamine alpha- by hyperplastic and
neoplastic epithelia may therefore be functionally important
because it allows interaction with mitogenic dietary lectins.
This could be an important mechanism for the association
between diet and colorectal cancer.

Very interesting study. There are perhaps many other mitogenic
dietary lectins in different plant foods (beans, grains, nuts)
which may stimulate neoplasia in susceptible people. The
gluten/celiac disease may be another major example. That's why
the meat + high fat and low carb diets work. It's difficult to
do genetic tests but could the "common" food intolerance tests
measuring just IgG antibodies help in this respect? Or is the
sensitivity related to the blood types like Adamo says?

Abstract This study examined the effect of wheat pearling on
distribution of phytase, phytic acid, iron, and zinc in wheat
fractions derived from pearling and roller milling. Grains of
four wheat varieties were first pearled by a rice polisher at
four levels, i.e. non-pearling (unpearled), 5% pearling (5% of
the original sample weight was pearled), 10% pearling, and 15%
pearling, to produce pearling fines (PF) and pearled grains.
The unpearled and pearled grains were then milled through a
B=FChler MLU-202 laboratory mill, producing eight milling
fractions. Results showed that pearling had a positive effect
on flour yield, which may be attributed to the reduced yield
of coarse bran and the improved yield of first and second
reduction fractions. PF had high levels of all the four
components, indicating that they could be a valuable source of
iron and zinc. In addition, the differences between flours
from the pearled and unpearled wheat were slight in terms of
these four components.

A two-year study by the Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine found that by monitoring volunteers' stool samples
for corn content by volume over a period of one year,
researchers could predict by as much as 92-percent a patient's
probability of contracting lower digestive tract cacinomas.

One has to be sure the corn they are eating is not GMO. If it
is, then you can get sick very fast. Cows are fed GMO corn,
and if you do a bit of research, you will find that you should
never give cattle corn. Ever.

And that's because of what? GMO organisms have the same
genetic heritage as the plants from which they are made. How
could it make anybody sick? How could adding good genes (such
as the genes for making beta-carotene) make a food bad?

That could save the eyesight of people in many underdeveloped
countries, who would otherwise go blind from vitamin A
deficiency.

Why are you against that?

Unfortunately, there really isn't any non-GM corn outside of
seed banks -- and the stuff you grow from them isn't terribly
appetizing.

Why not?

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Positively or negatively correlated? By corn did they mean
corn as in frozen corn or corn on the cob, or corn as in high
fructose corn syrup and refined corn flour as in tacos and
corn bread. Was there any other food that people who eat lots
of corn (or little corn) also eat. Is corn the cause or the
marker.? I seldom eat corn, but there are whole cultures who
traditionally eat corn as a large part of their diets. Do
these people have more lower digestive tract carcinomas?

Well, that's the end of that thread. Asking epidemiological
questions is a sure-fire way to kill these "magic food"
threads. We recently had one who told us that vitamin A would
prevent/cure all respiratory ailments, and I asked whether the
Inuit (with their near-toxic A diet) records with the IHS
showed any respiratory ailments.

Dead silence.

Similarly with Scudamore's "cayenne cures heart disease." All
you have to do is ask if New Mexico has lower heart disease
rates than Colorado.

Now you bring up the fact that most of Mexico and a good bit
of the southern United States uses maize as its primary source
of starch, and in the case of Mexico as its #1 staple.

As noted, it's the end of the thread.
