We're lead to believe that if we eat our fruits and veggies, we should be just fine healthwise. But despite all the antioxidants, fiber and nutrients, a major study recently found that those who consumed a diet high in produce and low in fat fared no better when it came to cancer than those who ate a less healthy diet. This news, to me, is both liberating and disappointing -- on one hand, I don't have to wallow in guilt when I cave to my pizza craving, but on the other, if our diet doesn't have an impact on our chance against cancer, what does? Are we doomed? Barbara Ehrenreich's blog says the answer might lie in your attitude, and I wholeheartedly agree. Those who are optimistic and determined to beat what ails them have a must better chance of coming out on top. Faith, hope and laughter are what keep us going, even when facing cancer. Do you agree?
