There was recently a new study published in Cancer that showed a link between obesity and ovarian cancer. I’m sure you are like me in that you were not surprised to hear this news. This study followed women between the ages of 50-71 for 7 years (94,000 women in total). What was really interesting is that the researchers also linked previously being obese as leading to an increased risk for ovarian cancer as well.
Cancer is a huge problem. While overlooked by mainstream medicine….nutrition can play a very powerful role in the treatment and prevention of cancer. I”m not talking about magical root extracts from Asia either. I’m talking about straight forward solid nutrition (like Naked Nutrition). Medicine just isn’t exploring the efficacy of nutrition as a treatment. I don’t mean to sound like a cynic (although I am a little in this area) but the money is in drugs and not diet.
Next week I’ll tell you guys a story about brain cancer and low carb diets…it is fascinating and sad.
