A Resource About Cancer Information


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Did you know that whole wheat spaghetti contains four times as much fiber
as whole regular spaghetti?  By including fiber-rich foods such as whole grain
products in your daily diet, you may reduce your cancer risk.  More than
one-third all cancer deaths may be related to what we eat.  Recent
international studies of different population groups strongly suggest a direct
link between dietary intake of fat and cancers of the breast, colon and
prostate.  A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that increasing
dietary fiber intake and reducing intake of fat may reduce the risk of several
common cancers.  To help individuals choose a diet that promotes good health
and may reduce the risk of cancer, The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is
offering a free booklet called "Diet, Nutrition and Cancer Prevention:  The
Good News".  It is 15 pages long, in full color and provides practical advice
for making gradual changes in planning, cooking, and eating habits to promote
long-term change.  You may obtain your free copy by sending your request,
naming the booklet, DIRECTLY from The Office of Cancer Communications,
National Cancer Institute, Building 31, Room 10A24, Bethesda, Maryland 20892.
