You are what you eat and food choices are very important to health and prevention of various diseases!

Just cutting out suger and white pasta, rice etc. in addition to eating a much healthier diet you will lose weight and feel much better with a lot more energy to tackle your day!

Well, it's nice to think that eating right can prevent cancer but it didn't protect me. I have stage IV metastatic breast cancer and ate well my whole life. I also know numerous vegans and vegetarians who have breast cancer. It makes those of you who don't have cancer feel safer to believe that you won't get cancer if you just eat well and exercise (I was doing both and don't drink or smoke). It also makes you feel better to essentially 'blame the victim' but the reality is, everyone has cancer six times or more a year on average and the only difference is that your immune system managed to fight it off every time while mine didn't.

Good nutrition is definitely the key!

There is also a pathogenic aspect to cancer. Yes that's right, you can catch cancer. As of now 20% of all cancers can be attributed to viral infections. The reality may be closer to 50% to 70% of all cancers are caused by viruses. Recently it has been recommended to vaccinate young woman against the papilloma virus for this exact reason. Almost all cases of uterine cancer are caused by the papilloma virus. Newer evidence is suggesting that oral cancer is also related to the papilloma virus of the mouth. We are just scratching the surface in this area of cancer research.

My 62 years old wife is dying of malignant Stage 4 colon cancer. She was a vegetarian but eat small amount of eggs and fish for 10 years prior to diagnosis in 2009 ( stage 3). She never drink pop, coffee or alcohol just tea and water.She eats a lots of veggies and fruits, and take Calcium-Magnesium - Vitamin D supplement as prescribed. She does not smoke nor anyone in the family or friends. She was in good shape as she exercise at least 90 minutes 5 times a week. We live in very ideal home and city.
EXCEPT SHE NEVER TOOK THE FECAL TEST SREENING FOR COLON CANCER.
She didnot respond to FOLFOX chemo, Palliative chemo with Avastin and Ironotecan and brain
radiation.
Yes, after diagnosis she found out relatives from country of origin have died of colon cancer decades ago but nobody discussed about it.
Hoping people just do not rely 100 % on internet info.

I have to agree with the above email....our food is full of toxins...unless you grow it yourself...when is our government going to recognize this cancer epidemic and make food producers more responsible for what they are spraying on crops.....organic is great but expensive for most folks...and how organic is an item coming from Mexico to our tables?

There is also the hereditary aspect to cancer that isnt mentioned. My wife died of colon cancer, supposedly that most affected by diet, and her diet was much the same or better that that mentioned here.She didnt drink or smoke either. It is not related entirely to lifestyle. Also some of the foods you show here are some of the most polluted by herbicides ansd pesticides, notably strawberries . Free range egg laying hens live in barns not outside , unless you have a backyard flock like we have. Vitamin D supplements are the surest way especially in winter.Cancers are affecting younger and younger people all the time, and its mostly beyond our control. Everything that gets poured on crops ends up in the air we breathe and and on the food we eat. More food to feed the world, more pollution. The safest food is the food you grow yourself.
