abstract = "Cancer is a complex and multifaceted disease. Once thought to be primarily influenced by hereditary factors alone, research now suggests only 5–10 % of cancer cases can be attributed solely to hereditary causes (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2515569&tool=pmcentrez&rendertype=abstract). The remaining 90–95 % of cancer cases are thought to be primarily influenced by environmental factors including epigenetic alterations and dietary habits (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2515569&tool=pmcentrez&rendertype=abstract). It has been hypothesized that dietary patterns may account for 60 % of all cancer cases in women and 40 % of cancer cases in men (J Natl Cancer Inst 58:825–32, 1977). While significant, the risk for cancer development depends on the entire diet, type of cancer, other environmental factors, and genetic profile of the individual.",
