The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) published a comprehensive review of the relationship between nutrition, diet, and cancer in 1997. This work, a seven-year effort, is considered a milestone in public health and will have significant short-term impacts. The report, *Diet, Nutrition and Cancer*, was updated by a panel of 14 experts, including Mexican researcher Adolfo Chávez, and involved extensive bibliographic reviews and seven meetings. The 670-page document is divided into nine chapters across four sections, with three appendices providing historical context and additional information. The report covers the fundamentals of diet and cancer, the association between dietary patterns and cancer, and the implications for health policies. It concludes that following the recommendations can reduce cancer incidence and mortality by 30-40%, potentially saving millions of lives annually. The language is accessible, and the content is well-structured, making it valuable for experts, healthcare professionals, and the general public.The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) published a comprehensive review of the relationship between nutrition, diet, and cancer in 1997.
