October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer is the most common internal cancer among women worldwide. Like many other diseases, the risk of breast cancer may be reduced through diet and lifestyle habits, such as exercising regularly and eating a plant-centered diet.

Our New Merch Celebrating Diversity
There are two months left to get our limited-time NF Celebrates Diversity shirt or mug! We have long stressed the importance of dietary diversity. Each plant family has a unique combination of phytonutrients, which is one of the reasons I developed the Daily Dozen to encourage eating a variety of the very best foods each day for health and longevity. We also continue to share life-saving, life-changing science-based information to communities around the world, which is why everything on our website is free and all of our videos are translated into multiple languages. We’re thankful we get to take part in helping to make the world a more healthful place for everyone. All of the proceeds from the sale of our diversity shirt will support Food Empowerment Project, a nonprofit food justice organization.
Volunteer Spotlight: Robin Everson
I enjoy being a NutritionFacts.org volunteer. I help Dr. Greger with his social media pages so he can focus his time on research and writing. For more than seven years, I have been helping people find the answers they are looking for on the website, as well as inspiring others to fulfill their health desires.
My favorite recipe is an easy Asian-inspired cruciferous salad of shredded curly kale, Brussels sprouts, red and green cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and edamame. Top it with the juice of a lime, your favorite dressing, or a light peanut sauce, and add a small handful of raw peanuts and sesame seeds for a nutritious, hearty dish.
Seeking Spanish Translation Volunteers
Our Spanish-language volunteer team is expanding, and we’re looking for a few more professional translators to join us. We have been translating new blogs and videos, as well as developing topic pages and other areas of NutritionFacts.org, to provide even more resources to Spanish speakers. Translation volunteers play an important role in helping us share life-changing and life-saving information in Spanish! For more information and to apply, go here.
