You Are What You Eat!
Nutrition and Cancer
Prevention
Tuesday, March 24, 4 - 5:30
p.m. SHARC. Instructor: Emily Ho, PhD
Join us to learn about the link
between diet and cancer risk,
and the simple things people
can do to decrease their chances
of developing the disease by
food choices.
Cancer is an incredibly complex disease, but for certain
cancers, like breast, prostate
and colon cancer, diet could
make a big difference in your
risk. As we find out about what
drives the biology of cancer,
it is becoming clearer that it’s
not just genetics that predict
your risk. Even if genetics is
not in your favor, there are
choices you can make with
your environment and your
food choices that can help you
tip that balance favorably and
will be discussed throughout
the presentation.
Emily Ho is the Endowed
Chair and Director of the
