Diet and cancer

What nutrition can and can't do.

A healthy diet and good life habits are essential for preventing many kinds of cancer. But when the disease appears, there are no miracle cures or guarantees, despite what pushers of “alternative therapies” might promise. There also exists a whole series of myths about diet and cancer that can be severely detrimental to the health of cancer patients.

In light of the proliferation of theories and opinions, many of which are not endorsed by experts, Julio Basulto and Juanjo Cáceres explain to us the risks of believing in miracle foods, the ways diet can help disease prevention, and things we should do when we are diagnosed.
