foods and cancer
DESCRIPTION
Food choices can help prevent cancer and, when cancer has been diagnosed, nutrition can improve survival. These links between diet and cancer are nothing short of dramatic. And now you can learn how certain dietary patterns help people diagnosed with cancer live longer, healthier lives.TRANSCRIPT

• Fiber increases hormone elimination
• Low-fat, high-fiber diets reduce hormone effects
• Isoflavones may reduce risk.
• Avoiding meat reduces carcinogen exposure
