On average, more than one in three people in the United States will develop cancer at some point in their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society.
And many of those cases, they say, can potentially be prevented, including by making changes to your diet.

But knowing what to eat isn’t always straightforward, said Johanna Lampe, a cancer prevention researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle.
