This is why I cook ONLY w/ olive oil as well as drink a TBS of it a day and I "cook purer" (use VERY little pkged foods and use low sugar not sugar free foods...I'm nervous about artificial sweeteners and would rather have a little sugar than something that will later be found to CAUSE cancer). I know the population is growing, but I can't help but feel that a LOT (though not all) of cancers have to do w/ diet, exercise (or lack of), environment...BOTH of my grandmothers lived to be 91 and died of old age, 1 worked on a farm and the other was a homemaker, but VERY active, they BOTH cooked purer and ate more fruits and veg (those that a lot of people don't like) and there weren't all the pollutants, pesticides etc. there are today. I think of all the fast food and pkg food and can see where the rate of cancer and other diseases will grow. I weighed 195 at dx, I am now at 150 w/ 15 more lbs to go and while I do the breast cancer diet 6 days a week and have 1 cheat day a week, I will NEVER go back to the diet I had before (fast food, candy, chips etc) as NO food tastes better than chemo
