Neal Barnard, MD - Cancer Diet

[jsattaw]

I attended a presentation by Dr. Barnard in Peoria, IL where he presented some recent research regarding diet & breast cancer. He's the author of several books and also has initiated The Cancer Project (www.CancerProject.org).

He advocates a vegan diet incorporating four food groups: whole grains, fruits, legumes, and vegetables. He challenged those attending to try this new lifestyle for a minimum 3 weeks.

I know many of you are on the "Breast Cancer Diet" -- but thought I'd provide this reference as well. Today was my first day on the "new plan". I'm motivated to do all I can to prevent a recurrence -- like someone said in another post -- it's much better than chemo or another surgery!!
