Almost every day I hear about a new food study. Food A stops cancer! Two weeks later—Food A causes high blood pressure. It’s so hard to decide what to eat that many people just throw up their hands and ignore research that could make their lives better.

Phyllis, thanks so much for translating all of the research out there into a very readable, useful piece. I appreciate the time it must have taken you! You're right, it can be awfully confusing choosing what to eat, with an eye towards keeping cancerr at bay. Like you, I enjoy walnuts, AND I have to count calories; maybe my daily 14 almonds for breakfast will become walnuts instead. Thanks again. PJH
How about 7 almonds and 7 walnuts? Almonds are mighty healthy too!
I did spend a lot longer than I usually would tracking down this story, but with the internet, it really doesn't take long to see if that news on the TV has a good scientific base. I don't have a strong science background, so I have to rely on the credentials of the folks who publish or finance the study.
