Introduction

I am currently attending the National Cancer Institute's Nutrition & Cancer Prevention Research Practicum (March 16-20, 2009). They're presenting some really great material and I can't wait to share it with you. But basically, there are some excellent nutrients in food that can prevent cancer and a whole host of other diseases. And it's better to get the nutrients from FOOD, not supplements. Many nutrients have toxicity levels that are harmful to the body - more of a good thing isn't always better, sometimes more can be too much. And besides, when you consume the nutrients as part of the food that nature meant for them to be in, you can be sure they are working synergistically with other nutrients & compounds to produce an effect on the body you wouldn't get if you just consumed the nutrient alone. But there are many differences between which nutrients in foods are beneficial/detrimental for cancers - depending on the type of cancer.

Stay tuned!
