Why do we get cancer?

Just hearing the word cancer sends chills up one's spine. Have you ever wondered why it is that so many people are getting cancer today? Maybe the answer lies in the foods that we eat. Here is some information about cancer and nutrition that may interest you.
Approximately ten years ago, a survey was conducted that indicated that one out of every three North Americans would develop cancer at some point in their lifetime. Just recently, that same survey was again undertaken and the results were shocking: It now tells us that one out of one people will develop cancer at some point in their lifetime. In other words, everyone is at serious risk of developing cancer today!What has taken place to cause such a huge increase in our society's cancer rate? Why will so many members of our younger generation end up developing cancer In large part, I believe the answer to these questions lies in the quality of the nutritional value of the foods that we eat. The younger generation of today consists of "junk food" addicts, and this is a large part of the cancer problem.Just what causes cancer? Cancer is not caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus. Cancer is what's known as a metabolic disease. This means that cancer is caused by the body's inability to properly utilize the nutrition that it receives from food.Every cell in your body requires two things in order for it to remain healthy: electrical stimulation and a high quality of nutrition.Think of it like this: High quality food "burns" much cleaner than lower quality food. High quality foods then will naturally leave very little residue behind. High quality foods are also able to provide higher levels of nutrition to your body's cells. If the body's cells fail to receive the level of nutrition that they need, they can't remain healthy.
