Food for Life: The Power of Food for Cancer Prevention and Survival – Online
February 12, 2023
An event every week that begins at 12:00 am on Sunday, repeating until March 5, 2023
10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET
More than four decades ago, the U.S. declared a “war on cancer,” yet current statistics predict that during our lifetime, one in two men and one in three women will develop cancer. This amounts to 1.5 million people being diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year, and cancer causing nearly one-quarter of all deaths. Research has shown that more than one-third of all cancer deaths in the U.S. are due to poor diet, yet most are unaware of the connection.
Faced with these startling statistics, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine developed this curriculum to offer a new direction in battling this disease. The classes include information about how certain foods and nutrients work to promote or discourage cancer growth, along with demonstrations of simple recipes that can be easily re-created at home.
