Cancer and Diet Webcast

This Forum will explore what we know, and don't know, about links between diet and cancer. Included in the discussion will be the World Health Organization's classification of processed meat as a "Group 1" carcinogen; the latest on what is known about fats and cancer; and the just-released Dietary Guidelines for Americans as they pertain to cancer and diet. Additionally, the panel will discuss cancer prevention strategies.
