AACR 101st Annual Meeting 2010
Rats on Junk Food Pass Cancer Down the Generations
Most people are aware that certain genes are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, however having a family history of breast cancer is not the only risk factor women have to contend with, and it’s likely not even the most important one.
In fact, according to statistics only about 20-30 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer actually have a family history of the disease.
The research presented at the 101st 2010 meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Washington DC offers a very interesting glimpse into what may be going on here.
Could it be that the increasing health problems and diseases such as cancer we’re seeing today is the result of our grandparents’ adopting a diet of processed foods?
