Cancer Prevention and Survival
The Food for Life Nutrition and Cooking Classes for Cancer Prevention and Survival promotes cancer prevention and survival through a better understanding of cancer causes, particularly the link between nutrition and cancer. Research has shown that people who eat a diet free of animal products, high in nutritious plant foods, and low in fat have a much lower risk of developing cancer and a better chance of surviving if they have already been diagnosed with cancer.

" I cannot thank Delisa, Charlie, and the Cancer Project enough. I thought I had been eating a mostly healthy diet -- I was hugely mistaken! One of the things I am most delighted to learn is that I can eat until I am full when eating a healthy vegan diet, and not gain weight. Delisa’s passion is infectious. She (and Charlie) is such a gift. It would be impossible not to enjoy this class." -Julie, Anchorage, Alaska
