    Dr. Joel Fuhrman answered:
    Forty percent of Americans die of heart attacks and strokes, but almost all of these deaths are avoidable with excellent nutrition. About 35% of all Americans die of cancer, but the vast majority of these deaths are the result of poor nutrition. This epidemic of cancer is not predominantly genetic; rather, it is mostly the result of a nutritionally handicapped immune system. When we eat a nutrient-poor diet, diseases flourish. With nutritional excellence our body becomes a miraculous disease-resistant organism.
