If you are thinking about diet you might like to look ad the "Breast Cancer Diet" thread by Rhondah, and the Greek Diet post.

There are lots of books. I found Smart Fats M Schmidt, and The China Study T Colin Campbell fascinating both of which can be found on the web for $20 and less..

You are what you eat. It is an old cliche but the more I read the more it is evident it holds good. Refined foods sugars etc low nutrient density hihg carbohydrate foods, trans fats etc are just putting a tiny cumulative dent in your health profile each time you eat them. I do too, have my lapses meals out etc but try and make it very occasional, and mostly find that the oat cookie or whatever it was I was hankering after actually tasted rather bland and was unsatisfying.

The food you eat alters your gene expression, and so if you get it right there is evidence it will reduce your risk profile.
