"Cancer: Healing Foods for Prevention & Recovery"
Sixty percent of cancer in the US is caused by the food we eat, leaving 30% to smoking, 5% to viruses and 2-3% to genetic factors. You can’t compromise on a healing diet when it comes to cancer, nor can you cancel out harmful dietary habits with supplements. Thousands of studies prove the value of a whole foods, plant-based diet in cancer prevention and treatment. Learn which foods are most beneficial. Meredith is an associate of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and will share recent findings.
Thurs., Nov. 4, Tamalpais High School:
"Freedom from Food Cravings: Staying Healthy through the Holidays"
