As I read more and more article about the importance of diet and nutrition in avoiding cancer, etc.; I am struck by the very large number of Caregivers here who do not appear to have gotten cancer. Yet in most cases, these angels have been with the cancer patient for many years. Now I know everybody is different but my wife and I ate the same meals at breakfast and dinner. No matter whether she cooked or I grilled, the menu was the same. That's also how I grew up as my mother was not a short order cook making 5 different meals for our family.
So did all of you Caregivers cook a different meal for the person who now has cancer? If not, doesn't that raise some serious questions about the purported "anti-cancer" effect of nutrition? BTW, of course my caregiver cooks her meals in one person servings as I pour jevity down my PEG so this question only applies to pre cancer meal preparation.
