When most women think about cancer, they think PINK for breast cancer. It's true that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. However, there are other female and non gender specific cancers that women need to have on their health radar as well!

Coconut Oil Part 2! Follow-up and more discussion.

February 6, 2015 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN
