I recently met with Ms Lee Lee, Founder and honorary CEO of the Pink Ribbon Wellness (L) Foundation.
She highlighted to me “Jean, breast cancer is really alarmingly on the rise, especially among young women.” She also emphasises that a vast cause of cancer is attributed to the consumption of food, especially fast food & processed food these days. This serves as an awakening to all of us that food & lifestyle are the key reasons people are getting cancer.
Can we do something about that?
Yes, we can help to prevent Cancer with the understanding that:
If we focus on this crucial cause, we should encourage Home Cooking.
Why? Because of two words
IN CONTROL
You are in control of the choicest ingredients and that kind of oil you use for cooking. So you avoid ingredients high in unhealthy fats, sodium, and added sugars commonly found in processed foods. That is why we at La gourmet advocate Home cooking for the best of your health. Cooking at home for 4 to 5 days in a week is all you need!

Every year in October, pink ribbons are distributed as part of a public awareness campaign aimed at reminding women across the globe to head for a breast examination in order to combat breast cancer.
2020’s Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns have mainly shifted to social media and online as most nations are currently practicing social isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic.
