Gwyneth
Paltrow
believes
her
family
have
been
"cursed" by
cancer.
The
Oscar-winning
actress
lost
her
father
Bruce
to
the
disease
in
2002,
both
her
grandmothers
and
a
cousin,
who
was
only
23.
Gwyneth,
34,
who
is
married
to
Coldplay
frontman
Chris
Martin,
is
hoping
her
vegan
diet
will
keep
her
healthy.
Speaking
at
an
international
anti-cancer
campaign,
she
said:
"I
am
challenging
these
evil
genes
by
natural
means.
I
am
convinced
that
by
eating
biological
foods
it
is
possible
to
avoid
tumours."
Gwyneth
follows
a
macrobiotic
diet,
mainly
consisting
of
whole
grains,
nuts,
seeds,
fruit
and
vegetables.
However,
she
does
have
a
treat
once
in
a
while.
Gwyneth
said:
"I'm
not
as
stringent
as
I
was
in
the
past.
Now
I'll
have
cheese
once
in
a
while
or
white
flour
but
I
still
believe
in
whole
grains
and
no
sugar."
