Decoding Cancer - Has Science Discovered the Answer?

It is estimated that about 1.5 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed and over 500 000 deaths from cancer are projected in the United States in 2009. What has gone wrong? Science has now revealed a causative link between diet and disease. Dietary deficiencies has contributed to a 30% decline in the function of the typical person's immune system over the past several decades and this deterioration continues at a rate of nearly 3% per year. Researchers have found that a new science, glycobiology, may hold the key to empowering the immune system in its struggle against cancer.
