“Research indicates that as many as 30% of cancer cases are linked to poor dietary habits, and the number goes even higher, up to 70% in case of gastrointestinal cancers. Healthy nutrition plays an exclusive role in altering the cancer pathogenesis, as it acts at a stage even before the cancer sets into our body, a kind of primary prevention, in contrast to the anticancer agents which acts in later stages only to prevent cancer progression or provide symptomatic relief. Many epidemiological studies have consistently showed that consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts etc., decrease the risk of developing various cancers.”
