▼ However much we might like to believe that a detoxtea or a super-berrywill prevent us from getting cancer, the truth is a more bitter pill: anyone can get cancer no matter what kind of lifestyle they follow, but eating healthy foods and exercising regularly is the best way to lower your risk.
But that’s so much less satisfying, isn’t it? “Eating healthy” is this ambiguous idea that might seem only tangentially related to cancer, whereas eating an antioxidant that supposedly blocks free radicals feels like much more direct action. And yet the truth is that just as many cancer cases are caused by poor diet as by drinking alcohol, and even more are tied to the excess body weightthat comes with eating that poor diet.
Roughly two out of every five cancer casesin America are preventable by a modifiable risk factor, from alcohol consumptionto physical inactivity and, of course, cigarette smoking. That’s more than 659,000 cases annually. Of those, a new studyin the journalJNCI Cancer Spectrumestimates that more than 80,000 (at least in 2015) were attributable to suboptimal diet.
So what does that actually mean? How does diet influence our cancer risk? (▪ ▪ ▪)
