Organic food doesn't prevent cancer...

2. One thing to keep in mind when looking at these studies

is that the numbers are often very small.

Some study will show that consume a particular food reduces the risk for an uncommon cancer by thirty percent It's a real reduction, but the original risk was very small to begin with.

And so on.

Too often people will conclude that some specific diet is the magic thing that will keep them from ever getting whatever horrible disease they're most afraid of. Not necessarily so.

The risk factors can be tricky to asses, and the published risks will be for the population at large while you, personally, may have a vastly greater or lesser risk because of your personal genetics or lifestyle or whatever.
