Dietary patterns, foods, nutrients, and other dietary constituents are closely associated with the risk for several types of cancer. While it is not yet possible to provide quantitative estimates of the overall risks, it has been estimated that 35 percent of cancer deaths may be related to dietary factors. A comprehensive worldwide report Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective compiled by World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research reports that there is significant relation between lifestyle (including food consumption) and cancer prevention. Studies conducted over the years have show a strong correlation between diet and cancer. Almost all cancers (80-90%) are caused due to environmental factors, and of these, 30-40% of cancers are directly linked to the diet Nutrients in foodNutrients in our food can fight cancer by protecting our bodies' cells from mutations caused mainly by carcinogens and free radicals. Antioxidants have been shown to minimize the damaging effects of free radicals. and fight off tumors Free radicals cause oxidative damage to DNA and mutate cells, which then proliferate into a tumor and thus cause cancer. The oxidative damage can be prevented when nutrients bind the free oxygen, therefore prohibiting it from roaming the body and damaging cells. In addition to antioxidants, vitamins and trace minerals have a powerful effect on free radicals in terms of neutralizing them, as previously described, and preventing damage to the body's cells.

Q. Breast cancer is linked to bad childhood diet, study reveals By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 11:36 AM on 15th March 2009 * Comments (0) * Add to My Stories Kylie Minogue Singer Kylie Minogue battled with breast cancer Diet and the amount of exercise young girls take can determine their risk of breast cancer in later life, a study reveals.

I don't see a question. ? I agree with the study that nutrition plays a big part in whether or not anyone will get any kind of cancer. Did you know that one of the deficiencies that is linked to breast cancer is "iodine deficiency"? In fact more than 90% of us are deficient in iodine. I just received and started reading the book, "Iodine, Why You Need It. Why You Can't Live Without It" by David Brownstein, M.D. If this interests you then I recommend getting a copy for yourself. It could well be that the bad diet the study refers to involves eating foods that are iodine deficient and foods that contain bromine/bromide.

Answered by Tom l - Sun Feb 4 17:44:13 2007 Anybody hear or read about the Budwig diet as an alternative cancer treatment?
Q. This treatment is mentioned online and seems very interesting. Asked by John - Wed Oct 8 15:00:09 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Budwig is usually a complementary treatment for cancer patients if they decided to engage in complementary treatments. It's not meant to replace traditional treatements done by doctors. CAM procedures are created in hopes of improving the quality of life for a patient because often times treatment alone leaves a person miserable. There's lots of thoughts and ideas about how cancers should be treated, but the Budwig has not been proven as an actual CURE.
