Relationship between Yoghurts and Cancer

I just read an article about dairy produce and its relationship with cancer. This relationship has established way back in 1989 by Dr Daniel Cramer of Havard University. In his study, he recorded in details the diets of over a hundred women with ovarian cancer and he discovered that they all took yoghurt. This much was also confirmed by Professor Jane Plant, a previous victim of breast cancer who was able to overcome the disease through the help of dietary regulation. The implementation of a new diet plan enabled her live the good life, as she became perfectly healthy.

Chinese Diet and Cancer Prevention.

According to her even with chemotheraphy treatment there was no positive reduction on the cancerous lump untill she changed her diet to strictly plant based diets which is readily found in chinese foods. After she had disposed off yoghurt and other dietary produce from her meal she discovered shrinkage in the lump size and disappearance of lump completely after 6weeks.

Recommending Chinese Diet for cancer patients

With this hind sight, it has been shown that Chinese diet are good in the fight against cancer, as they contain lots of anti oxidants; which enable a one maintain the health of their body as it helps in detoxifying our body system.

Importance of Vegetables/Fruits in Cancer Treatment.

Fruits are known to be rich in flavonoids and anti-oxidants which helps in boosting our immunity. So incorporating it into our diet will enable us beat breast cancer. However, women should not forget to go for breast cancer screening once every 3years between age 20 to 29 and when above 40 once every year.
