In 1982, Dr. John McDougall published the very first study accepted in a scientific journal regarding diet and the treatment of breast cancer. He believes that the rich Western diet causes breast cancer, and a change in diet makes a huge difference in its outcome. However, Dr. McDougall says we will never hear this from our...
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in American women and the second leading cause of death. It's estimated that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Although there are many factors which contribute to cancer, Dr. Joel Fuhrman's article, Ten Strategies for Preventing Breast Cancer explains how we...

Thousands of products are heavily marketed with the promise that a small portion will be donated to breast cancer research.

Several types of cancers are hormone-sensitive, meaning they use female/male hormones to develop and metastasize. Most breast and prostate cancers are hormone-sensitive. In an attempt to stop the progression of cancer, pharmaceutical companies have designed drugs which slow down or block the effects of these hormones. These drugs stop female/male hormones from reaching the cancer cells. Tamoxifen...

Pink ribbons are everywhere, reminding us that October is Breast Cancer "Awareness" Month. Yet Dr. Joel Fuhrman wonders why we don't call it Breast Cancer "Prevention" Month instead. All women are concerned about avoiding breast cancer, but few are "aware" that diet should be the key element in the fight against breast cancer. A large...
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America, with cancers of the colon, breast, prostate and lung being the most deadly. Advocates of a whole-food, nutrient-dense, plant-based diet concur there is overwhelming evidence linking nutritional excellence with disease prevention, including cancer. In order to do this, we must consume a diet that nourishes...
Specific dietary factors known to promote the growth of cancer cells have been known for many years. Studies show that the rate of cancer in a population is directly proportional to the percent of animal fat consumed in the diet of that population. Evidence supporting this can be seen in Asian countries like Japan, where...
Out of the 5,000 different mammalian species, human beings are the only mammals that continue to drink milk after weaning, and then they drink it from another species. There are several reasons why we do so. For example, we were taught in school and by our parents that we needed milk to build strong bones...
