Eat to Beat: Evidence List

System ENABLE™
In order to change the way you eat food, you have to first change the way you think about food and cancer. Evidence for the impact of dietary factors on cancer is extensive. But there is inefficient collection, synthesis, and transfer of knowledge between researchers, doctors, and consumers. As part of the Eat to Beat solution to this problem, our System ENABLE™ (Enabling Network for Access to Best Levels of Evidence) is democratizing this knowledge about cancer prevention using information technology, medical informatics, social media, a user-community, and a global network of experts. System ENABLE™ powers the information you'll find in this section below. Evidence based on scientific studies will help make food a new part of the fight against cancer.
