I just wanted to add something that has been implied but not well known. As I understand it, most of us have cancer cells forming every day. The issue is whether our body can take care of it or not. That is why it is so important to eat those lovely plant based foods...to put our body in the best situation to fight off these cancers. For example, mushrooms are known to fight the blood supply to these cancers. Now mushrooms are not the only plant based food that does that so a person who does not like mushrooms could use another vegetable to do it.

It just seems that everyone thinks that they won't get cancer when they could already have cancer cells but the difference would be wether their body is in optimal shape nutrition -wise to get rid of it.

PS I am not a nutritionist and often wonder at how much we really don't know yet about our bodies!!!!

Also sorry to add to this very long thread that I think may have run it's course.
