Breast Cancer Coalition Presents “The Art & Science of Anti-Cancer Cooking”
Rochester, NY – Each month, the Breast Cancer Coalition hosts a webinar as part of the organization’s Evening Education Webinar Series. Focusing on a variety of topics related to health and wellness, the webinars are free and open to the public. On Wednesday, August 26 at 7:00 PM, Iluminada Vilca, MSHP, BSND, SNAP-Ed NY Bilingual Nutrition Educator II, and Isaac Harris, PhD, will present “The Art and Science of Anti-Cancer Cooking.”
Vilca, from the Cornell Cooperative Extension, will provide an engaging demonstration on how to prepare simple, nutritious and budget-friendly recipes using fresh, locally available New York State produce at its August peak.
"Please join us! Discover how healthy eating can be both delicious and enjoyable while learning how food can reduce cancer risk through nutritious food choices,” Vilca said. “Together, we’ll prepare a refreshing vegetarian ceviche and a delicious peach smoothie."
Paired with each recipe, Dr. Harris will break down the science behind the ingredients, highlighting current research on their anti-cancer properties and how they may support overall wellness.
This session blends practical cooking tips with evidence-based insights, offering participants the “how” and the “why” of healthy eating. Vilca and Dr. Harris will provide accessible, actionable takeaways for cancer prevention and survivorship.
