All the viewers of this website note.

I am a clinical psychologist with enormours interest about what we put in our mouth. I am based in Canada. I do varacious reading about the recent findings on cancer and its risk factors. Time and again, it has come to light that diet plays a more significant role in development of many types of cancers. The diet high in saturated fat and low in fruits and vegetables influence the developement of various cancers. whereas, the diet high in fiber and complex carbohydrates but low in sugar and salt tend to protect from many cancers. The "NURTRITION TRANSISTION" presently taking place in India, China and other developing countries is the major cause in the increase number of cancers. Doctors and epidemiologists shirk their reponsibilities by saying that aging population is to blame but they do not understand that diet and life style are the major factors in rapid rise of western style of diseases.

Women who eat lot of fat laden food, less cereals, pulses, tend to suffer from high chances of developing breast cancer. We have to be little bit careful in pointing out that the baby boomers and aging population are the reason for more cases of cancers in the world today. The other reason often cited by authorities is the improved and more modern technology and equipments helping in frequent diagnoses of cancer cases.

But there are few realistic and practical healthcare workers on this planet who put more emphasis on our lifestyle changes and nutrition. The cases of cancers are increasing because more and more asian men and women swithcing to western style nutrition and diet. The widespread use of pops, cocacolas, energy drinks, fat and sugar laden diets, high salt contents of french fries, and low intake of fruits and vegetables increasing development of various forms of cancers in the general population.

The time is ripe to go back to fundamentals of healthy eating and living which will definately help in prevention of degenerative dieseases.

I HOPE THAT I HAVE MADE A STRONG CASE FOR HEALTHY EATING AND SIMPLE LIVING. AFTER ALL "WE ARE WHAT WE EAT".
