Cancer is largely an avoidable or preventable disease. It is estimated that more than two-thirds of cancer-related deaths can be prevented through lifestyle modification, particularly our daily diet. Frequent consumption of diets rich in fruits and vegetables has been consistently shown to reduce the risk of several forms of human cancer. A major prevention strategy has been the “Five a Day for Better Health” program sponsored by the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI), encouraging the public to include more fruit and vegetables in their diet.
