Cancer Project

This class will bring into focus the undeniable connection between diet and cancer risk. Based on the Physicians Committee’s groundbreaking Cancer Project curriculum, the first class will focus on the role of different foods and nutrients in either promoting or discouraging growth of different cancers, including breast cancer. 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.
