In certain circles it seems that it is understood that the diet plays a crucial role in increasing health and longevity. However, the attitude that no matter what you eat you will get sick still has a strong foothold. This is particularly true when the topic of cancer comes up. Disease never has one definitive cause, but we have come to understand with the tremendous quantity of research available that what we ingest has a profound impact on both the incidence and course of a disease. This should not come as a surprise, since our history as a species was to live alongside the plant kingdom that we have developed such synergy with.
