Food is not only fuel, it influences our genes in ways that can change our health for years to come. Children are especially sensitive because there is a longer time for these effects to happen. Cancer takes between 15 to 30 years from the time a cancer cell starts in the body to the time a tumor develops in the body. Healthy eating can ward off 25% of cancers and 90% of type 2 Diabetes.
