Nutrition and cancer can be a hot topic, but I am glad you brought it up, MaryAnne! When I was diagnosed 5 1/2 years ago with mets to the liver and lungs; I fortuitously read a book by a man called Dr. Colin Campbell (professor emeritus from Cornell) A former dairy farmer himself; he spent much of his professional career sifting through hundreds of nutritional studies. At retirement he published his book called "The China Study", which summarizes his findings by disease category. It is fascinating. After reading his book; I stopped eating all meats and animal products. Interesting, rl2, he too speaks about groups who fund the nutritional research being conducted and his comments are eye opening.
