Cancer is one of the most feared and deadly diseases that affect human beings. In case you missed the last post on World Cancer Day,you can still read it up. Millions of people have lost their lives as a result of this disease. There are about 200 different types of cancer (most popular being breast, lung,cervical, prostate,bladder,colon, liver, stomach and cancer of the blood) and they can start in any type of body tissue.

Poor dietary intake, foods like cured meat(sausages, cured ham, bacon etc), grilled meats, or fried meats from animal based foods, food additives tobacco smoke, natural and man made radiation, overexposing the skin to the sun, alcohol consumption and virus can contribute and foster cancer development.
