I promise to cover more details and evidence regarding breakfast. I realize that I was going to do it with the next post, but I wanted to add a spontaneous short topic update that was spurred on by a my facebook page follower.

Q: What are your thoughts on cancer patients drinking coffee? Can it reactivate cancer cells??
A:
Nope. Coffee (in moderation, like 18 ounces or less a day) is perfectly fine.
Caffeine helps stimulate brain cells which might help with some of those
cancer brain side effects! They have also shown the phytochemicals in
coffee to be helpful to our bodies. Want to read the report? Check out AICR’s highlight on coffee!
The caveat is not to overdo it. Drinking coffee all day long to make up for not enough sleep, or loading it down
with high fat cream and a bunch of sweeteners or syrups are not health promoting activities! And if you still want to stay away from it,
you can always do green tea. I usually alternate 1/2 of the mornings
with tea and 1/2 with coffee. It’s rare that I go a day without one or
the other!
Let this be
your good news for the day!
And if you want to know more TRUTHS about nutrition and cancer, I have scheduled my next webinar:
Cancer Nutrition Truths: What the Data Shows.
Thursday, September 18th from 4:30 – 5:30pm Eastern Time.
This topic was inspired after the last webinar about cancer nutrition myths.
Attendees wanted to know what the truths are about nutrition and cancer.
Yah!! Focusing on the positive ways you can optimize your nutrition and
reduce cancer risk is one of my very favorite topics.
This
webinar will cover just that – what does current evidence show regarding
the most effective way to get your nutrients and which nutrients we
need to maximize our immune system.
