Food for Breast Cancer Prevention and Survival

This class looks at the research behind increased prevention and survival rates for those individuals diagnosed with breast cancer. Factors discussed include reduced fat intake, increased consumption of vegetables and fruits for a greater fiber intake, and exercise. In the lecture, Dr. Neal Barnard highlights various studies, like the Women’s Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Study, which reported greater protection from breast cancer when women consumed at least five servings of vegetables and fruit daily. 

Certain dietary patterns and foods have been linked to a reduced risk of developing certain types of cancer, while others may increase the risk.  It’s important to understand the distinction and adjust your lifestyle accordingly.
