The jury is still out on the degree to which diet affects breast cancer.  I'm fortunate enough that now my doctors seem more worried about keeping my borderline cholesterol under control than about my having a recurrence of cancer. So more fiber, less fat is becoming a way of life for me that will pay off for my overall health even if the studies are inconclusive in regards to breast cancer.

A cancer diagnosis is a call to health that leads some people to change their diet completely.  Some people can even maintain that change for years.  For most of us, food is not just nutrition, but part of our culture.  Celebrating with a glass of cabbage juice just isn't the same as a glass of wine.  The important thing is to find a diet you can live with everyday for the rest of your life.  Last year PJ Hamel wrote a great column about nutrition and cancer that can give you more details about some healthy foods that can reduce your cancer risk.

I think I'll have just one more mini-Milky Way, and then give the rest to the kids next door.
