Food for Life: Let's Beat Breast Cancer

The classes in this series will bring into focus the undeniable connection between
diet and cancer risk. Based on the Physicians Committee’s groundbreaking Cancer
Project curriculum, the first four classes will focus on the role of different foods and
nutrients in either promoting or discouraging growth of different cancers, including
breast cancer. The last class will focus more specifically on foods that have been
shown to directly reduce breast cancer risk and support survival. Each class
features a cooking demonstration of delicious, health-promoting dishes, along with
handouts of easy and affordable recipes participants can prepare at home.
The intended audience of the Food for Life: Let’s Beat Breast Cancer classes are
cancer survivors and their family and friends, as well as those looking to prevent
the disease. These classes are not intended for individuals currently undergoing
breast cancer treatment.
