Your Diet and the Risk of Lung Cancer

A person's diet can influence the risk of lung cancer. Studies show that a diet rich in fruit, and possibly vegetables, may help lower the risk of lung cancer, while heavy alcohol drinking may increase the risk of lung cancer. It is recommended that most foods be chosen from plant sources. The consumption of meats, especially high-fat meats, should be limited.

Exposure to dangerous substances can also increase your risk of developing lung cancer.  In particular, exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.

Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
