In the class "Introduction to How Foods Fight Cancer" certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping people diagnosed with cancer to live longer, healthier lives. According to the National Cancer Institute, 90% or more of cancer cases stem from environmental and lifestyle factors and are potentially preventable. In this class you will learn about the right food choices that can help reduce your risk of developing cancer as well as prevent a recurrence. 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 going through cancer treatment.
