When it comes to oncology, there is no other area more controversial than the relationship between diet and cancer. While everyone would like to believe that what you eat substantially affects your likelihood of developing cancer, or that a particular diet can cure cancer, there is little evidence to prove the effect that your diet has.
Reputable sources agree that there is not a diet that cures cancer outright; however there is very strong evidence that what you eat and what weight loss detox supplements you take can prevent you from contracting cancer.
In a Nurses Healthy Study, 1,982 women ho had developed breast cancer were followed for 13 years. Over 1,200 of these women had cancer that had not spread, or metastasized. The survival rates of women whose cancer does spread has a much lower survival rate, about 21% versus 85% for those whose cancer has not spread.
The foods that these women ate consisted largely of poultry and fish, which contain protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. These women had a significantly lower risk of death when compared to those women who did not consume as much. Further, those women who consumed large amounts of hydrogenated oils also had a higher risk of death. A weight loss detox supplement such as Omega Science is ideal in maintaining a healthy immune system, heart, skin, brain and eyes. This supplement provides a variety of nutrients recommended by the American Heart Association including DHA, EPA, and Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega Science insures that women are consuming nutrients vital in reducing the spread of cancer as well.
In another study by the National Cancer Institute, more than 2,400 people, 975 of who had breast cancer and consumed a low fat diet for 5 years. The remaining 1,462 consumed great amounts of fat. The low fat groups experienced a 42% reduction in the recurrence of their cancer.
