Foods That Fight Cancer

No single food can protect you against cancer by itself. But research shows that a diet filled with a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and other plant foods helps lower risk for many cancers.

The Science
of Survival

The study of how diet and other healthy lifestyle behaviors affect cancer patients and survivors is relatively new but there are several studies that are investigating the impact of AICR’s recommendations on cancer survivorship. The research related to AICR’s recommendations and cancer survivorship suggests that adherence to the recommendations can help in several ways.
