Cancer is the second leading cause of death in this country.
Heart disease is first.
More then a half a million Americans die of cancer each year. Just having a healthy life style can significantly reduce that number. There is solid evidence that suggests that a large proportion of cancer is associated with what we eat, drink and smoke and our level of physical activity. The textbook American Cancer Society states about one third of the annual cancer deaths are attributable to what we eat. Another third is due to smoking and a smaller proportion is attributable to alcoholic beverages.
