Research suggests that nearly 50% of all cancers are preventable and related to our lifestyles with 30% of cancers attributed to dietary factors.

In this session, fourteen different food families and their anti-cancer phytochemicals will be discussed. We will also discuss the five most common mechanisms by which these foods fight cancer. Findings from cancer research focusing on chemoprevention of particular foods will be discussed. Tips from research about how to prepare these foods to preserve maximum potency of the important cancer fighting phytochemicals in the foods will be shared. Current dietary recommendations for cancer prevention from the World Health Organization and the American Institute of Cancer Research will be discussed. Resources will be shared to help participants continue learning even after this session.
