Proper nutrition has been shown to reduce cancer risk, noted Dr. Brian Slomovitz, director of gynecologic oncology and co-chair of the Cancer Research Committee at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida. “First, we know that the rate of obesity is high and only increasing — and it’s a risk factor for many cancers,” he told Fox News Digital.
