And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the Earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 1:29 |

Your Dietary Choices Do Make A Difference |

Heredity is often considered a major cause of cancer. This is partially true if you make the same unhealthy dietary and lifestyle choices that your parents did. For example, a diet rich in hydrogenated fats like margarine can influence the initiation step in carcinogenesis, especially in relation to free radicals, and a diet high in animal fats can influence the promotion stage of tumors by acting on initiated cells to elicit cancer growth. However, a healthy lifestyle and diet may protect you. Diets rich in cruciferous vegetables and soy protein can offer protection against genetically predisposed and lifestyle-induced cancers. There is no substitute for a healthy diet of nutrient-rich whole foods. |
