Cancer is one of the top causes of death in the United States with ever-increasing numbers each day.  Worldwide the number of people who die from the disease is in the tens of thousands.  There is no cure for this disease, only treatment that sometimes causes it to go into remission.  However, current studies may be blowing away the traditional methods of treating the disease.  The latest research seems to show that changes in your diet may be effective in treating and preventing cancer.
