One in three people will be affected by cancer at some point in their life. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, second only to heart disease. According to Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, each year 1.4 million Americans develop cancer, over one-third of them die. Cancer is a disease where irregular cells replicate. It begins with a mutation in a single cell, followed by several mutations in a row, creating the characteristics present with cancer. This does not happen overnight. Cancer occurs over a period of time, meaning it could possibly be prevented.
Supplements such as vitamin E, selenium, vitamin C, folate, garlic, and fish oil have shown through observational studies to prevent several different types of cancer including stomach, mouth, colon, throat, laryngeal, lung, liver, and prostate cancers. The probability of developing cancer increases with age. Begin your cancer prevention today.
