It is know secret that diet plays a major role in health and disease. As obesity rates continue to increase, so does the likelihood of diet-related illness. Consuming a diet loaded with processed foods, fat and sodium and devoid of nutrients for long enough will cause serious, even life-threatening health consequences.

Diet-related cancers can include colon, breast, cervix, gall bladder, ovary, thyroid, kidney, prostate and esophagus, according to the American Cancer Society. Consuming too much fat, sugar, sodium and additives creates a perfect breeding ground for cancer to grow inside your body. Poor diets typically contain very few antioxidants and other key nutrients for cancer prevention, and very little fiber. The American Caner Society recommends eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day and limiting your intake of red meat and refined grains.
