On this edition of Your Call, we continue our discussion on cancer by exploring the role of diet and lifestyle in prevention and recurrence. According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, 40 percent of cancer cases could be prevented through diet and lifestyle changes. The question is, what is a healthy diet?
Early in her career, Dr. Ann Pittier, a radiation oncologist, did a deep dive into nutrition and says the science is crystal clear. She shares her insight into the role of plant-based diets in cancer prevention and strategies for leading a healthy life.
