Cancer is increasing at an alarming rate and one in three
people will develop cancer at some point in their lives. According
to the World Cancer Research Fund, up to 39 per cent of the most
common cancers ? lung, breast, colorectal, skin, mouththroat and
oesophagus, liver, stomach, prostate, cervical ovarian, testicular,
endometrial and pancreatic ? are preventable through diet, physical
activity and weight control alone. SAY NO TO CANCER was originally
published by Piatkus in 1999 and this greatly expanded edition
contains new chapters that reflect the very latest information on
the connection between diet and lifestyle and the risk of
developing cancer. It offers guidance for people who wish to avoid
getting cancer, and for those who want to know what they can do
nutritionally if they have cancer andor want to prevent
reoccurrence. By improving your diet and taking the right
nutritional supplements you really can say no to cancer.
