My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer. By the time the first symptom arose—a dull ache in his gut—it was too late. That’s why we need to prevent it in the first place. I previously touched on pancreatic cancer prevention in Largest Study Ever (nutritionfacts.org/video/largest-study-ever/) and Poultry Exposure Tied to Liver and Pancreatic Cancer (nutritionfacts.org/video/poultry-exposure-tied-to-liver-and-pancreatic-cancer/) and attempts at pancreatic cancer treatment in Gerson Therapy for Cancer (nutritionfacts.org/video/gerson-therapy-for-cancer/) and Gerson-style Therapy vs. Chemotherapy (nutritionfacts.org/video/gerson-therapy-vs-chemotherapy/).
