Epigenetic Signature Found in Blood Predicts Chances of Getting Breast Cancer
If a woman could get a blood test telling her whether or not she’s likely to develop breast cancer, preventative measures could be taken, doctors could monitor her health, and she could explore potential options even before the cancer has started. A blood test like this could be possible as a result of new research … Continue reading Epigenetic Signature Found in Blood Predicts Chances of Getting Breast Cancer
Epigenetic Marks on DNA May Indicate Breast Cancer Risks
It’s hard not to know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Nearly one in eight women will battle this disease in her lifetime and for those women affected it becomes the battle for their life. Early detection and medical advances stem the tide of this disease, but each study brings us a little … Continue reading Epigenetic Marks on DNA May Indicate Breast Cancer Risks
How depression and breast cancer are linked

Prevent and fight cancer with allium and cruciferous vegetables
Whenever studies report about anti-cancer foods, fruits and mainly vegetables top their lists. These fibrous, plant-based foods are rich in chemical compounds that can prevent, halt the progression of, and even fight several diseases. After years of investigating, researchers have finally identified these valuable sources of cancer-fighting chemicals as cruciferous and allium vegetables. What’s even better is that both types of vegetables can … Continue reading Prevent and fight cancer with allium and cruciferous vegetables
Prevent cancerous tumors naturally with time-restricted eating
Cutting back on calories may help prevent breast cancer. To achieve the best anti-cancer effect, researchers recommend a time-restricted diet in which women only eat at certain times of the day. Studies like the one from the University of Miami link obesity to some types of cancer. In particular, obese post-menopausal women are vulnerable to breast cancer. To reduce the risk of … Continue reading Prevent cancerous tumors naturally with time-restricted eating
Alkalinity and oxygen levels: Is there a connection between pH levels and cancer risk?
Several studies show that pH levels of the human body exert an effect on the risk of cancer. People who desire to avoid cancer should strive to maintain their pH levels at slightly alkaline quality instead of letting it drop to acidic levels, which can encourage the rapid growth of tumors. Levels of pH can change depending on … Continue reading Alkalinity and oxygen levels: Is there a connection between pH levels and cancer risk?
NAC is a powerful antioxidant that can stop cancer cell growth in its tracks
Antioxidants offer an alternative way of preventing the growth and spread of cancer. In particular, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) presents a powerful solution to combat the disease. In 2018, more than 1.7 million new cases of cancer were reported in the U.S. That number is expected to go up in the coming year despite billions of dollars and thousands of … Continue reading NAC is a powerful antioxidant that can stop cancer cell growth in its tracks
Overweight Fathers May Epigenetically Increase Their Daughters’ Risk of Breast Cancer
Although we typically think the mother has a large impact on her child’s health, epigenetic research is beginning to suggest that a father’s behavior may also have a significant amount of influence. Recently, we posted a blog article on the epigenetic influence a father’s lifestyle has on his children, showing that both mothers and fathers contribute to their … Continue reading Overweight Fathers May Epigenetically Increase Their Daughters’ Risk of Breast Cancer
