FRUITS, VEGETABLES FIGHT CANCER... AGAIN


In a scientific study of 40,000 people, researchers have concluded that the risk of stomach cancer - the number-two cancer killer - is reduced from 25 to 52% by eating fruits and vegetables. This isn't major news to those of us who pay attention. But I sometimes feel it's necessary to include these stop-the-presses revelations to highlight the overall dynamic of plant-based, as opposed to corpse-based, foods: Plant foods protect and fortify the body in innumerable ways; meat threatens bodily health in a plethora of ways and offers no nutritional advantage.
