Why did I make these changes?
Women's Intervention Nutrition Study: J. Natl Cancer Inst 2006;98:1767-76; Nearly twenty-five hundred women who had previously been treated for breast cancer were asked to reduce the fat in their diets. After five years, the risk that their cancer would come back was cut by 24 percent.
Women's Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Study tested the benefits of increasing fruits and veggies. After seven years, women who ate five fruit and veggie servings daily and who were also physically active cut their risk of dying by half, compared with women who did not gt as many fruits and veggies or who were physically inactive.
Vegetarian Diets and the Incidence of Cancer in Low Risk Populations: Cancer Epidemiology Bio-markers Prev: November 20, 2012: Conclusion: Vegetarian diets seem to confer protection against cancer. Impact: Vegan diet seems to confer lower risk for overall and female-specific cancer compared to other dietary patterns.
