healthy eating

Everything stated in this article makes sense to me. If I can eat more of the foods that are linked to anti-cancer benefits and these are healthy choices anyway, why would you not? I think the point about breast cancer and cancer in general being very complex diseases is why it is difficult to prove that particular lifestyle choices are of benefit. If you want to be really cynical about it, it seems a lot of research is funded by drug companies who would have no financial gain from finding that lifestyle factors can help prevent cancer. It is kind of annoying that while current medical treatments are not 100% effective in preventing cancer recurrence the medical fraternity seem to want this sort of guarantee before they will recommend certain foods to be of benefit. The general blurb they give about eating a balanced diet could be enhanced with recommendations of including the particular vegetables and fruits that appear to give more benefit. Thanks for the link, Viv. It was very helpful. Have a lovely Christmas! Deanne x
