Eat whole food nutrition to reduce the risk of breast cancer

Dr. Pamela Benitez is a general surgeon with a focus on breast cancer. In this video, Dr. Benitez discusses her belief that "food is not just for calories and energy. Food is for prevention."

Dr. Benitez emphasizes “fruits and vegetables are the most important fuel we can put into our bodies to make a difference in terms of prevention and health.” Specifically, she recommends Juice Plus+® for a nutritional foundation because “good nutrition is so important for strengthening the immune and cardiovascular systems.”

Dr. Benitez practices at the Rose Cancer Center of William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan and serves on the medical staffs of William Beaumont Hospitals in Royal Oak and Troy. In addition, she is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine.
