According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, half the men and one third of all women in the United States will develop some type of cancer in their lifetime. Genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors may all contribute to the onset of the disease.
Some risk factors are controllable. The relationship between nutrition and cancer is not as clear as it is in the case of heart disease, but poor dietary factors are thought to be responsible for about one third of all cancer deaths.
