Cancer and School Lunch


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm discussing 2 cancer studies and changes coming to school lunches.  

A new study published in the Lancet shows how chemotherapy can be more deadly than the cancer it's supposed to treat.  The study, titled "30 Day After Systemic Anticancer Treatment For Breast and Lung Cancer In England..." examines the mortality rates of people with breast and lung cancer who got chemotherapy vs people using palliative care.  I discuss the findings and interpretations.

Another cancer study from the NutriNet-Santé Study in France examins the relationship between consumption of sugary beverages and cancer rates.

Finally, I discuss a school district in California's Sausalito Marin City District where they will begin serving school lunches sourced from sustainably grown, organic, Non-GMO food sources.
