Shanmugam et al. (2011) review the
evidence of dietary agents influence in the prevention and treatment of
cancer. Experimental and epidemiological
research suggests that diet may have a dramatic effect on health, and
contribute to the development cancer. The exact mechanisms of dietary products
are unknown, and published literature demonstrates that some active
constituents alter pathways involved in intracellular signaling. Dietary agents that inhibit inflammation
alter many of these pathways, such as NF-kB.
Additionally, dietary agents have demonstrated inhibition in
carcinogenesis, cellular proliferation, and angiogenesis.
