Gwyneth Paltrow believes that a healthy diet will ward off the cancer curse that has plagued her family. The 34-year-old oscar winner, who has had her father, aunt, cousin and grandmothers die of cancer, thinks she can beat the disease by eating as healthily as possible. She says, “I am convinced that by eating biological foods it is possible to avoid the growth of tumours. I began this crusade soon after my father’s death. Since then the fight against tumours has been my mission.” [21 February 2007]
