Up to 30 per cent of all cancers are linked to poor diet — a frightening statistic, until you think of how much power you have to control it.
Diet is one of the few controllable risk factors for developing cancer. Studies demonstrate that people who eat a plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains have a significantly lower risk of developing many types of cancers.
The unfortunate reality is that few people eat the minimum recommended servings of five fruits and vegetables daily, and even fewer consume the nine servings recommended for cancer prevention. The top anti-cancer foods include tomatoes, broccoli sprouts, berries, soybeans and other soy foods, green and black teas, pumpkin, spinach, garlic, pineapple and apples.
