Nutrition And Cancer - Is There A Connection?

I have often wondered if we're winning the war on cancer. During the month of October you see the color pink being displayed everywhere. Stores have notices set up at the cashier's counter to make donations, billboards have advertisements promoting the cause, even collegiate and professional athletes are wearing pink to help promote the cause.
However, statistics show that the incidence of cancer is on the rise. Today, more than ever, more people are being diagnosed with this dreaded disease. Which leads me to wonder - is there a connection between our daily diet and being diagnosed with cancer?
Is the food supply that we feed ourselves everyday steering us to increased rates of cancer? It is estimated that in the next 10 years 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer. Will it be YOU or will it be ME?
The single biggest denominator to anyone with cancer has been the diet. What foods and how much can determine one's risk to developing cancer. Afterall, we all must eat to live. But the development and spread of cancer cells is prolonged by certain foods. Foods containing high levels of sugar, meats and dairy products will allow cancer cells to thrive. Cancer thrives in an acidic environment, typically from the water we drink. Alkaline the body reduces the spread of cancer. Eliminate the foods that foster cancer growth.
