Hi all!
I have a few questions, please help me
out!
1) what are the symptoms of cancer?
2) what can I eat or do to reduce the
chance of getting cancer?
3) what are the latest developments in
cancer research?

You can totally prevent cancer from
adopting a vegetarian diet.

Ok I realize this is an old post but I
can't let this stand. .N.O.T .T.R.U.E!
Nothing can totally prevent cancer. Some
cancers are caused buy things completly
unrealated to diet and a heathy diet will
not help. Lung cancer Can (but not always)
be caused by smoking if you are one of
those multi pack/per day smokers you will
get lung cancer at some point (you may
have to live to be 150 before it happens
or you may die form something else before
it gets the chance to develop) even if you
ate a vegetarian diet.
A healthy diet can prevent the chances of
cancer but not eliminate them.
Sorry but there are no across the board
symptoms of cancer the symptoms vary
depending on the type of cancer.
Same with the latest developments there
are too many to say just go to some of the
leading cancer sites (think American
Cancer Society) and check it out.

Thanks, terpamber. There is no catch-all /
cure-all and it's dangerous to think there
is. A vegetarian diet might help prevent
some cancers, but to make a blanket
statement that it's a panacea isn't right.
It's always best to adopt a healthy
lifestyle as early as possible and
maintain it. But for now at least there is
a randomness to cancer that makes it fall
outside the realm of 100% anything. If you
really want to avoid cancer I would
recommend A: a healthy diet/lifestyle. B:
do research on what causes cancer and
avoid those things (it's not easy, the
world is full of carcinogens) C: keep or
develop a positive outlook on life. It
might not help you avoid cancer but it
could help you deal with it if it ends up
being in your cards. And of course it
makes life more enjoyable in the
meantime.

Hi, I just went to that link and found,
not surprisingly, that it's a commercial
site selling its own products. Of course
there's nothing the matter with boosting
the immune system, but I need to point out
the following text, taken directly from
that site.
"The information has not been evaluated
by the FDA or by 4Life Research. We do
not claim that 4Life products directly
prevent, or cure any disease. We do not
suggest that anyone should replace
traditional medical treatment with our
products... We encourage you to use common
sense in your expectations in consuming
any nutritional product... Seek advice
from your health care professional
regarding the applicability of any

medical condition. Statements about

It's one thing for the FDA not to evaluate
something, but a health site that doesn't
even evaluate its own products? Always
read the fine print with ANYthing,
especially regarding your health.
