Eating right for life

Current research in prostate cancer suggests that changes in so-called modifiable risk factors, such as diet, may translate into very meaningful benefits. Like all cancers, prostate cancer is caused by genetic mutation. Genetic mutations are either inherited or acquired through exposure to harmful substances in our environment (for example, we know that cigarette smoke can lead to lung cancer). Although inherited factors are important in some prostate cancers, the overwhelming majority are related to the environment — and diet seems to be key.

Although we don’t yet know the full relationship between the food we eat and prostate cancer, the news is encouraging. This book is designed to guide you through the process of changing your eating habits for the better, in the hopes of helping fight the cancer and improving your overall health. Who knows?
