Research suggests that nearly 50% of all cancers are preventable and related to our lifestyles, including our diets. Thousands of studies have been conducted to determine if particular foods reduce our risk or increase our risk of cancer. In this course, findings from cancer research focusing on chemoprevention of particular foods will be discussed.  Several different food families and their phytochemicals will be discussed. We will also discuss the mechanisms by which foods could make our bodies unfriendly territory for cancer.  Tips from research about how to prepare these foods to preserve maximum potency of important phytochemicals will be shared.  Current dietary recommendations for cancer prevention from the World Health Organization and the American Institute of Cancer Research will be discussed. Resources will be shared to help participants continue learning even after this session.
