Cancer-fighting foods: Food choices and cancer risks
Article Abstract:
Plant-based foods play a significant role in potential cancer-risk reduction and avoiding certain animal-based foods that are increasingly viewed as potential promoters of certain cancers, could also be an important step. The National Cancer Health Institute and other government and private agencies promote eating at least five servings a day of a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables that possibly help reduce the risk of stomach, prostate, pancreatic, endometrial and breast cancers.
