“Association between physical activity and mortality among breast cancer and colorectal cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis - Exercise before or after breast and colorectal cancer diagnosis lowers mortality risk in survivors.”

“Alcohol consumption is just one of many lifestyle behaviors that influence cancer risk. Learn how modifying lifestyle behaviors can reduce the risk of breast cancer, for example, as well as other chronic diseases, in this clip featuring Dr. Ruth Patterson.”

“The study also showed consistent reductions in the incidence of breast cancer (19 to 60%), endometrial cancer (23 to 60%), and colorectal cancer (27 to 52%) in both men and women.”

“Across 6 different tumor types (pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, breast cancer, hepatobiliary cancer and non-small cell lung carcinoma), the origin of the primary tumor was properly identified with 71% accuracy. The test looks at a specific RNA signature in platelets that are only found in specific types of cancer.”

“Taller women had a 20% greater risk of developing breast cancer and taller men and women increased their risk of skin cancer by 30%. It is possible that the increased cancer risk could be mediated though higher levels of growth hormone but this is just speculation.”

“While these epigenetic changes occurred in mice, a recent study in humans found that over 500 different genes are changed in sperm DNA from obese men compared to lean men. These studies highlight the important point that obesity in both males and females may affect the health of future offspring.”

“The study looked at 66,280 in Hong Kong and also found the same amount of exposure to particulate matter was associated with an 80% increased risk of mortality from breast cancer, 42% increased risk of mortality from cancer in the upper digestive tract, 36% increased risk of dying of lung cancer.”

“Studies in animals have shown that aerobic exercise slowed the growth of breast cancer tumors 1.5 times more than sedentary animals. Exercise also made the cancer cells much more sensitive to chemotherapy and the combination of the two had the most significant impact in reducing tumor size.”

Since sulforaphane’s discovery, countless studies have investigated its effects on many human diseases, including air pollution toxicity, asthma, autism[1][2], radiation dermatitis, schizophrenia, cancers of the bladder, breast, colon, lung, and prostate, and many others.

“Alcohol consumption is associated with a higher risk for oropharyngeal, laryngeal, esophageal, liver, colon, rectal, and breast cancer. Importantly, risk increases in a dose-response fashion, and there’s no apparent evidence of a threshold effect.”
