Can someone recommend a cancer diet site please? Just your basic healthy eating for someone going from eating junk to something more healthy. Not looking for quack sites recommending ant foreskins or anything like that. Something along the lines that broccoli is better than carrots, and why type thing. Why whole grains are better than processed food?
My wife’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer about 1 month ago. 10 days ago her left breast and lymph nodes around the area and armpit were removed. The biopsy shows that about 1/3 of the removed lymph nodes were cancerous. Chemo starts next week.
another question: is there any science behind the belief that legumes contain “female growth hormones” and would contribute to cancer risk? My sister in law has gone vegetarian because of growth hormones fed to livestock. However, she’s “supposed” to avoid legumes because of “female growth hormones”
[keep in mind that in China science is slowly prevailing over old wives tales, traditional Chinese medicine versus Western medicine, etc. While the rationale science process is underway, there are an awful lot of “facts” that get convoluted along the way.] PS. This is a duplicate post for the “ask the cancer patient” thread so I hope it’s not breaking any rules to do that.
That was a tounge in cheek example that I just made up. Is there any such thing as one vegetable being better than another one in preventing cancer or helping someone like my sister in law?
The page includes a link to Clinical Nutrition–with information on food/drug interaction. Your sister in law’s doctors probably already know this, but it might be worth a look.
