Reduce your risk of  cancer

More than one-third of all cancer deaths may be related to what we eat. There may be a direct link between dietary intake of fat and cancers of the breast, colon and prostate.

Increasing dietary fiber intake and reducing intake of fat may reduce the risk of several common cancers.

By including fiber-rich foods such as whole grain products in your daily diet, as well as carrots, yams, squash, or other foods that contain antioxidants, your risk of cancer should be reduced.

   Cancer

Cancer prevention and early detection can save your life.

About 1.2 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed in 1998, and approximately half a million people will lose their lives to cancer this year - more than 1,500 people a day.

Being diagnosed with cancer can be a scary experience, and an emotional and physical challenge for the person being diagnosed, as well as for the family and the close relatives.

In 1997, according to the National Cancer Institute, about 500,000 American died of cancer, and 600,000 women were newly diagnosed with cancer.

The good news is that you can reduce your risk of cancer, and improve the chances of having cancer detected at an earlier stage. The earlier the detection, the more chances you have of being successfully treated, and return to a normal, happy life.
