The vegan diet does not cure cancer

The vegan diet does not cure cancer

Every now and then, thanks to a television report that is not really objective , the cliché grows according to which certain foods or certain diets would heal the tumor. This is the case with the vegan diet. Unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence to say that the vegan diet treats cancer.

There is no scientific evidence to support this theory.
On the other hand, there is no scientific evidence on a curative diet for a tumor.

It happens that someone occasionally says that they have been cured of their cancer through the vegan diet, thus feeding false hopes in people suffering from cancer. The vegan diet, as you know, does not include any products of animal origin (not even butter, eggs, milk or honey).

According to the Cancer Therapy Advisor , a cancer research and news site that collects data from various world-renowned associations and research centers every day, there are some studies that have proven that a vegan diet helps prevent cancer risk. .

Depending on the studies, the risk percentage would decrease from 5 to 15%, but not for all types of cancer.
However, there are no data or studies that have established that the vegan diet can instead cure cancer.
Prevention and cure are two very different things.

Certainly there are foods in nature capable of partially preventing the risk of cancer. As well as, for those who undergo chemo cycles or high doses of antibiotic therapies, the advice is always to increase the consumption of fruit and vegetables and rely on a competent doctor in the management of that particular disease. For those with cancer, the oncologist specializing in nutrition. But first of all, the oncologist.

Any “curative” and non-preventive food claim of the vegan diet, as of any diet, is a sensational hoax.
