CommentaryPrevention in diet While cancer death rates may have dropped, they still are too high ("Cancer deaths drop off rapidly," News, Oct. 15). As a dietitian, I know that a healthy diet is also one of our best weapons in the fight against cancer. Statistics show that 30% to 60% of cancer cases are diet-related. Studies have shown that low-fat, high-fiber foods such as beans and whole grains can help prevent cancer and improve survival rates. Fatty foods such as beef and cheese can boost the production of the hormones that might cause cancer. In fact, some studies have shown a direct link between meat consumption and cancer. There might not be a 100% guarantee against any disease, but scientific evidence strongly suggests that making better dietary choices can help stop cancer from striking in the first place.
