Diet, Cancer, and NCD Prevention

Abstract

Food excites the passions—and recommendations about what constitutes healthy eating can cause passionate disagreement. Witness the outpouring of diet books or polemics declaring that conventional wisdom is quite wrong on one or other component of diet. The general public can, rightly, feel confused if they see that experts disagree. World Cancer Research Fund International has issued its Third Expert Report on the subject of diet and cancer— Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer: a Global Perspective—which is designed to go beyond such confusion.
