In Brief:
Eat Healthy; Feel Happy
Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables every day not only protects against cancer, but it also may make you happier and more energetic for the day ahead, suggests a recent study.
Eating to Prevent Heart Disease and Cancer
More people die of heart disease in this country than from any other cause – cancer ranks a close second. Can the same diet that reduces the risk of cancer also prevent heart disease? A new understanding of heart disease is showing it can, says AICR Nutrition Advisor Karen Collins.
Dietary Vitamin D and Calcium: No Link to Breast Cancer Risk
The largest study to date investigating whether dietary vitamin D and calcium intake reduces breast cancer risk has found what earlier evidence have also concluded: It doesn’t.
More Magnesium Links to Lower Insulin Levels
A new study suggests that diets higher in magnesium can affect glucose and insulin levels of people with type 2 diabetes, who are at increased risk of certain cancers.
Weight and Activity Links to Specific Colorectal Cancer
A study suggests obesity and inactivity especially affect people with a certain type of cancer, a finding that provides a better understanding of how colorectal cancer develops and prevention strategies.
