The best, most delicious cancer fighting foods!
As you probably know, I’m not a big fan of “awareness” events, especially when they revolve around health issues like cancer. Whether you know it or not, most of the money raised in cancer awareness events goes to drug and genetic research. We’ve spent trillions of dollars in cancer research since President Nixon declared his “War on Cancer” in 1971. But it remains our #2 killer. Clearly, we’re dropping the ball somewhere. While it’s...
What you might not know about colon cancer
Back in 1978 (when I was 15 years old) and a mere six months after my father died suddenly, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. I remember being terrified at the prospect of losing both parents within a short time of each other, and colon cancer seemed like such a mystery to me. Thankfully, it’s no mystery anymore (more on that below), but back then it seemed like anyone was fair game for...

Does this protect you from deadly cancer?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 60 years (yes, I am that old) it’s that you should always question products marketed for your “health” or to “protect you.” Vegetable oils and margarine are excellent examples here. For the last several decades, saturated fats like butter and red meat have been vilified and said to cause heart disease, while unsaturated vegetable oils and margarine have been marketed as heart healthy. What a crock. ...

Seven ways you may be raising your cancer risk
There are few words that inspire more fear and dread than: CANCER. I think it’s safe to say that most people wouldn’t cherish the thought of having to face cancer…and would want to do everything they could to avoid having their number come up in the cancer lottery. Problem is that many people are rolling out the red carpet for our number two killer and don’t even know it! Here are seven ways that...
