Here we list articles and studies or research on cancer in relation to nutrition. With some additional comments other as we found on the Internet. We will complement these articles regularly, but that takes time and we want very carefully. We have tried to research and articles in logical and more or less alphabetical order. Often an article in the name of nutrient - vitamin etc. But sometimes in diets or diet in cancer or cancer type out the first named, including bladder cancer and vitamins in the BA. So take the name of one nutrient or use search to start because of various cancers are also often important studies and articles that are not all in this list.
If there are people who can give us tips like please send us remarkable investigations and we post on the site.

In addition, a recommendation to information on proven effects of diet and nutritional supplementation in cancer of the book: Nutritional intervention in cancer, a signal to the conventional oncology.

March 31, 2005: Menopause. 2004 Jul-Aug, 11 (4) :400-4.Genistein is a significant hot flushes at shows double-blind randomized study in 90 healthy women aged 47 to 57 years in transition for 1 year follow-up. The researchers look for a natural role genistein instead of extra supplemental hormone therapy for women in menopause.

OBJECTIVE: We Evaluated and compared the effects of the phytoestrogen genistein, estrogen-progestogen therapy (EPT), and placebo on hot flushes and endometrial thickness in postmenopausal women. DESIGN: Ninety healthy, postmenopausal women, 47 to 57 years of age, Were Randomly Assigned to receive for one year continuous EPT (n = 30, 1 mg 17beta-estradiol combined with norethisterone acetate 0.5 mg), the phytoestrogen genistein (n = 30 , 54 mg / day) or placebo (n = 30). Endometrial safety was Evaluated by intravaginal ultrasounds at baseline, 6 and 12 months.
RESULTS: By comparison with placebo, daily flushes Reduced significantly by a mean of 22% (95% CI: -38 to -6.2, P <0.01) after 3 months, by a mean of 29% (95% CI: -45 to -13, P <0.001) after 6 months, and by a mean of 24% (95% CI: -43 to -5, P <0.01) after 12 months of genistein treatment. Decreased flush score by a mean of 53% (95% CI: -79 to -26, P <0.001) after 3 months, by a mean of 56% (95% CI: -83 to -28, P <0.001) after 6 months, and by a mean of 54% (95% CI: -74 to -33, P <0.001) after 12 months of EPT, as compared with placebo. No side effect was observed on the uterus of the participant.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study confirm genistein That Might have positive effects on hot flushes without a negative impact on endometrial thickness and suggests a future role of this phytoestrogen as a strategically therapeutic alternative in the management of postmenopausal symptoms.
