New evidence emerges on diet-cancer links
Diet is recognised as an important factor in the cause of cancer. Now new research indicates that to maintain a healthy diet we need to do more than avoid fatty or protein-rich foods; we also need to consider the way we cook some foods and the role of food in preventing cancer. Scientists at the CSIRO Division of Human Nutrition have also confirmed links between dietary factors and the body's ability to protect itself against two major types of cancer - breast and pancreas.
