Lifestyle, in any part of the world, is associated with the
occurrence of major chronic diseases, including coronary heart
disease, hypertension, and stroke; many distinct types of cancer;
and adult onset diabetes (11,22,70,75). One important element of
lifestyle is tobacco use, which appreciably increases the risk of a
number of chronic diseases (21). Other lifestyle factors relate to
nutritional traditions, alcohol use, and exercise
(11,30,58,60,70,71). The underlying evidence is, in part, based on
the evidence of specific diseases in relation to dietary habits in
a given geographic region, as well as changes in such disease
occurrences in migrant populations from a low risk to a high risk
area, and vice versa (25,42). Populations that customarily consume
fruits and vegetables and also whole grain cereal products
generally have a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and specific
types of cancer than populations with a lower intake of such foods,
everything else being equal (63). In the last few years, research
has provided mechanistic explanations as to the reasons for the
protective effects of specific foods. This paper will emphasize the
mechanisms whereby cancer risks are reduced by dietary
modification.
