Breast cancer, diet and health inequalities

With 2.5 million in the UK living with cancer, and breast cancer is the number one cancer for women, affecting 1 in 8 women in the UK. Yet, with 23% of breast cancers preventable in the UK, what could we be eating more and less of to help reduce our risk? Why is it that black women have the poorest health outcomes when it comes to breast cancer? Why are health inequalities still so prevalent in 2020? What do we need to change and how can we educate ourselves more on these health inequalities? To help me explore this further, I speak to Toral Shah, chef and nutritional scientist with a BSc in Cell Biology from UCL and an MSc in Nutritional Medicine from the University of Surrey, as well as the founder of Urban Kitchen.  - Toral asked me to apologised for abbreviating her name to Tor at the end of the podcast.  Show notes and resources   Stats on health inequalities along with the link to the feminist paper re WHO.  https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30110-0/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32069-9/fulltext Anti-racism resources: https://www.theurbankitchen.co.uk/pages/anti-racism-resources
