October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Excluding skin cancer, breast cancer is the leading cancer for women around the world. 

Fortunately, there is something every woman can do to reduce their risk. Join Food for Life instructor Nancy Travis in exploring the current research on diet and lifestyle and how it relates to breast cancer. In each of the two sessions there will be a video lecture by a physician, followed by a discussion about key points and a simple four prong approach to reducing risk. Next, we will move the zoom to Nancy’s kitchen, and she will demonstrate several simple and delicious plant based recipes as well as share some kitchen tips. 

Everyone will have time to ask questions and participants will be entered into a drawing for a “Let’s Beat Breast Cancer” cookbook. 

This class and materials have been developed by Food for Life, an award-winning nutrition education and cooking program created by a team of physicians, nurses and dietitians for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.  Nancy Travis has been certified to teach Food for Life classes. 

Please Note:  The nutrition information provided in this class is good for those desiring cancer prevention information, or, those in cancer remission but lacks specific information for those undergoing breast cancer treatment.
