“Other behaviors that may promote breast cancer survival include dietary modifications, especially time-restricted eating. Learn more about the effects of time-restricted eating on breast cancer survival in this clip featuring Dr. Ruth Patterson.”

“A recent study found that colorectal dysbiosis induced epigenetic changes and promoted the development of precancerous lesions in the guts of fecal transplant recipient mice. The authors of the study transplanted fecal samples from healthy individuals or from individuals with sporadic colorectal cancer into the guts of 136 germ-free mice.”

“Obesity and metabolic disease are risk factors for developing breast cancer; however, they are highly modifiable with lifestyle changes. Sugar-sweetened beverages are the leading contributor of added sugars in the American diet and consuming them in excess greatly increases the risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes.”

“A key player in suppression of tumor growth is autophagy, a biological process that inhibits cancer-cell survival and induces cell death. Learn more about how coffee induces autophagy in this clip featuring autophagy expert, Dr. Guido Kroemer.”

“Breast cancer patients are often treated with hormonal therapy to block tumor growth, and steroids to counteract the side effects of chemotherapy. However, both treatments can cause a patient to have altered metabolism which can lead to weight gain.”

“Nevertheless, the findings suggest that gut bacteria from understudied animals may offer promising starting points for developing new cancer treatments. In Aliquot #141, I explore how everyday lifestyle choices influence cancer risk.”
