Getting cancer is not just due to your genes!
According to the National Cancer Institute, only about 10% of cancer cases are linked to genetics; the remaining 90% or more stem from environmental and lifestyle factors and are potentially preventable. Research has shown that more than one-third of all cancer deaths in the United States are due to poor diet, yet most are unaware of the connection.
In this Food for Life class, you’ll learn how certain foods and nutrients work to promote or discourage the growth of cancers of all types (including breast cancer) and enjoy cooking along in your own kitchen with simple recipes that we’ll make together.
