I really fail to see the connection between breast cancer and her diet, except
that her diet (cooked vegetarian) did not cure her cancer.  First of all,
there's a big difference between cooked veggies and raw veggies, and her
cancer could have been from smoking marijuana for all those years.  Be careful
not to jump to conclusions.  I've known plenty of healthy, meat eating women
who got breast cancer.
