This is such a great little article!! When I worked at the cancer center, it was so sad to see these super unhealthy people dying of cancer, and know that if they had just changed their lifestyle, they might not have gotten cancer in the first place. Up to 70% of all cancers can be prevented w/ diet and lifestyle changes. Shocking, isn't it? I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it's exciting to see this, I hope it wakes some people up!

Thanks! I love reading news like this. I will share it with lots of people. So many people I know have the mentality that "cancer is totally random anyway, why bother changing my life style?" when I talk about diet and cancer with them. It makes me furious that people are just waiting around for a cancer cure to save them when they can start warding off cancer today! Right now! Thanks again, pink!
Awesome article Pink, thanks for posting. I'm sending that to all my friends!!
awesome article!
actually, after reading it last night, i dreamed about telling people about the study! ha.
I know there is a link to stress and lowered immunity. I don't know anything about it in regards to cancer.
Very interesting..bummer my family doesn't feel as strongly about a healthy lifestyle as I do. Makes it difficult to see some of the food they consume.
