Enjoy the interview below.

Recent research published online in Gut concluded that high levels of “good” HDL cholesterol may cut the risk of bowel cancer and this association is independent of other potentially cancer-inducing markers of inflammation in the blood.

Using participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Study (EPIC) that tracks the impact of nutrition on the development of cancer in over 1/2 million Europeans the researchers matched around 1200 subjects who developed bowel (779 people) and rectal (459 people) cancers with 1,200 controls who were of the same age, gender, and nationality.

Initial blood samples and nutritional data for the subjects and controls were compared for differences. Analysis show that those with the highest levels of HDL cholesterol and another blood fat, apolipoprotein A (apoA) -a component of HDL cholesterol had the lowest risk of developing cancer of the bowel. Although changes in HDL and apoA had no effect on the risk of rectal cancer, each rise of 16.6 mg/dl in HDL reduced the risk of bowel cancer by 22% and each rise of apoA reduced the risk of bowel cancer by 18% after accounting for causal factors of lifestyle, diet, and weight. After eliminating subjects monitored in the study for only two years the levels of HDL continued to show a reduced risk of bowel cancer but apoA levels did not.

On Saturday’s show Dr Carl O Helvie, Host, will interview Frank Tortorici who grew up on Long Island, N.Y. in the environment of a loving extended family. Yet with all the love surrounding him, there was a pain and darkness he shared with no one. It was the constant nagging symptoms that his family would come to know as Tourette’s Syndrome (ts).
As a child Frank felt helpless, and was constantly being prescribed various medications to subdue the symptoms. None seemed to work and even then, he often thought there had to be a better way than drugs.
At the age of 15, Frank entered an all natural body building contest and quickly discovered that working-out had an incredible calming effect on his body. He began exercising regularly and it was effective but the ‘bad tic’ days, began to bring about obsessive thoughts.
Frank was later introduced to a gluten-free way of life and started to see fast results because it helped to eliminate yeast growth in the intestines. He began researching and learning how to treat Tourette’s holistically; and learned that Candida- (a yeast-like fungal organism) is caused by such things as sugar, antibiotics and alcohol, that were contributing to ‘his’ symptoms. For the next few years Frank ate a vegetarian, raw/vegan and conscious carnivorous diet. His results were striking;
Some of the most revered high-fashion photographers and casting agents solicited Frank for their publications, endorsements of products, and requests for cameos and guest appearances in numerous films and television programs,
Frank now lives in Los Angeles, and has a satellite office in Newark, New Jersey, and an office in North, Hollywood where he offers public and private services to clients. Certified through the American Council of Exercise he gives his clients; some who have neurological disorders– an alternative – even if only a healthier way of supplementing their living condition(s).
The Tourette’s Syndrome Association (tsa) recently referred to Frank as a “renaissance man” in their newsletter. He travels nationwide sharing his story and offering advice and services to many of those who are usually overlooked in poverty circumstances in urban stricken area(s).
Frank is currently working on a host of edible delights under his ‘Yowser’ brand. You can expect his incomparable taco; with its ‘meat’ being a blend of organic sunflower seeds, sun dried tomatoes and other ingredients, to be added to his signature ‘super food chocolate mousse’ that is also diabetic friendly.
Frank’s book, Fitness, Food and Faith is available on his website. In addition, he is available for personal training specializing in muscle tone, weight loss, strength training, sports rehab, and circuit training. He is also available for speaking, and a variety of food activities including meal planning, food shopping tours, home food preparation, gluten free and vegan all natural food education. .
In a few weeks he will be a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and can test client for adrenal fatigue, bio identical hormone therapy, liver function, mucosal barrier function, parasites, worms, and even metabolic typing. More information on his services and products is available at: http://franktortorici.com
