These classes include vitamins; minerals, particularly calcium and selenium; phytosterols and polyphenols, which are found in soy and green tea; isothiocyanates found in broccoli, kale, and other cruciferous vegetables; and specialized dietary lipids, including omega-3 fatty acids, linoleic acid, and sphingolipids. The book also dedicates chapters to the roles that obesity and excessive alcohol consumption play in cancer development.
“…we can hope to utilize nutritional interventions to slow the progression of tumor development in the intraepithelial hyperplasia phase before tumor size becomes large enough for diagnosis and probability of metastasis increases. Opportunity exists to stretch this prevention phase so that symptom-free life of the future patient with cancer is prolonged.”

Descriere
Nutrition and Cancer Prevention brings together top experts in nutritive health who present significant evidence that specific dietary micronutrients have the potential to play a role in resisting cancer, modulating its development, or reducing tumor metastasis. The book updates the descriptive epidemiology of the major cancers of the Western world and discusses the likely mechanisms of action that occur when certain essential nutrients become diet staples. It contains chapters that explore the scientific evidence, looking at the various properties of each class of micronutrient, and chapters that explain the roles obesity and excessive alcohol consumption play in cancer development.
