"מחקר סין" הוא סקר התזונה המקיף ביותר שנעשה אי פעם באוכלוסייה אנושית. המסקנות חד משמעיות: תזונה צמחונית לא רק מפחיתה הופעת מחלות כמו סרטן ומחלות לב, היא גם עוזרת להילחם בהן. לפי ספרו החשוב של פרופ' ט' קולין קמפבל.

PURPOSE Women with breast cancer (BC) treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) may
experience joint symptoms that can lead to discontinuation of effective therapy.
We examined whether acupuncture improves AI-induced arthralgias in women with
early-stage BC. METHODS We conducted a randomized, controlled, blinded study
comparing true acupuncture (TA) versus sham acupuncture (SA) twice weekly for 6
weeks in postmenopuasal women with BC who had self-reported musculoskeletal pain
related to AIs. TA included full body/auricular acupuncture and joint-specific
point prescriptions, whereas SA involved superficial needle insertion at
nonacupoint locations. Outcome measures included the Brief Pain Inventory-Short
Form (BPI-SF), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index
(WOMAC), and Modified Score for the Assessment of Chronic Rheumatoid Affections
of the Hands (M-SACRAH) obtained at baseline and at 3 and 6 weeks. Results Of 51
women enrolled, 43 women were randomly assigned and 38 were evaluable. Baseline
characteristics were comparable between the two groups. Our primary end point was
the difference in mean BPI-SF worst pain scores at 6 weeks, which was lower for
TA compared with SA (3.0 v 5.5; P < .001). We also found differences between TA
and SA in pain severity (2.6 v 4.5; P = .003) and pain-related interference (2.5
v 4.5; P = .002) at 6 weeks. Similar findings were seen for the WOMAC and
M-SACRAH scores. The acupuncture intervention was well-tolerated. CONCLUSION
Women with AI-induced arthralgias treated with TA had significant improvement of
joint pain and stiffness, which was not seen with SA. Acupuncture is an effective
and well-tolerated strategy for managing this common treatment-related side
effect.
