1. I am an avid believer in proper diet. I've yet to hear that a vegetarian diet is harmful, or, have negative side effects. Just being sure one is also getting a proper amount of protein as well.

I am sure there are many people who are unable to take many meds due to side effects or allergic reactions, as I. So, diet is my alternative medicine.

Today, many will lose their battle with cancer. Whether it will be due to genetics or otherwise. As we all know, cancer does not choose who will be it's next victim. So, if a healthy diet can help in being a preventative, thwarting off cancer and other disease, then everyone should start changing their eating habits. Instead of buying a Big Whopper with fries, grab a big healthy salad, and don't forget the watercress!

Thank you, Jason

2. One of the first things Paltrow should do is to quit smoking! With all the information that been available to her over the years on the risks and links to cancer and her family history, quitting should have been her first step to a reduced cancer risk. I've read she has quit and then she's smoking again and not just regular smokes she likes some type of smoke from Ireland with yellow paper and NO filter, Gross indeed. Addressing her diet with a strict vegetarian approach sounds nice but cumulatively has much less impact on her overall health than throwing the pack of butts away. Her children will also not have to put up with her second hand smoke and less likely to smoke themselves. With 5 family members stricken with cancer the smoke has got to go, permanently quit the butts then tell me how well you eat!
