That cancer has become the litmus test for many diets is a disturbing thing.
Beyond the results of some studies, which in turn are denied by other researches, cancer cannot be cured with food. It can be said without being denied that diet and cancer prevention go hand in hand. However, the important thing is not to jump to wrong deductions.

What do we mean by the word prevention?

It means that we can tend to reduce the risk of getting cancer through proper nutrition, but that we cannot completely eliminate this risk. Furthermore, the correlation between diet and cancer prevention only applies to certain types of cancer, for example colorectal cancers. But not for others.

Today, anyone who tells you otherwise, even if he is a doctor, would be proven wrong by a thousand other doctors.
Even worse, those who say they can heal cancer, reduce metastases, etc., through nutrition. Few know that these people are always severely sanctioned for these advertising claims.

We remember the message, we don’t know about the fine that will come after.

DIET AND CANCER PREVENTION: WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS

It has been seen that a diet rich in meat subjected to preservation, salting, smoking, and therefore rich in substance in salami and cold cuts, increases the risk of developing some types of intestinal neoplasms.

At the same time, in female estrogen-related malignancies, as well as in pancreatic cancer, a reduced-fat diet is recommended.

In cooking, it is absolutely necessary to avoid developing toxic substances that are teratogenic and that can increase the risk of cancer, although the latter is not certain in humans, but only in animals. However, on these things we need to be careful, which costs us nothing.

For example polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (processed foods, toasted, charred foods), nitrosamines (grilled meat and fish), heterocyclic amines (highly cooked meat), and finally acrylamide, which occurs by modification of starches (the scorched bread toasted and fries).

Another concern, although there is no reliable data in this regard, concerns pesticides. It would therefore be good to buy organic products where possible.

Finally, obesity and alcohol are two important risk factors: an adequate diet with a reduction especially in strong alcoholic beverages is therefore recommended.
