Eat Your Way to Lowering Cancer Risk

According to a Chinese study, women who eat the most omega-6s and the fewest omega-3s have nearly double the risk of colorectal cancer, compared with those who consume the opposite.

Americans tend to eat too many inflammation-promoting omega-6s and too few heart-healthy omega-3s fatty acids.

For the healthiest ratio, eat fewer omega-6-abundant processed foods. Eat more natural sources of omega-3s such as leafy greens, grass-fed beef, and fatty fish.
