Let's Beat Breast Cancer

The classes in this series will bring into focus the undeniable connection between diet and cancer risk. Statistics show that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.  But it need not be so!

The first three 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.
