The truth is that unfortunately Cancer is not rickets. It's not caused by a dietary deficiency. Even the anti cancer diet guru admits in his book that his cancer was caused by chemicals in his childhood in his native France. The hope of all these diets is that they will "supercharge" our immune systems so that the other toxins are overcome. I do think that it is different for heart disease where studies show that as the culture changes to a Western junk diet, heart disease & obesity skyrocket. I believe there are indeed "heart healthy diets". I also still believe in eating healthy but no longer that it will protect from cancer.
I can't tell you how disappointed my wife and I have been that over 25 years of no sugar or sugar versions, zero sodas or soft drinks not even the diet kind, eating every type of green leafy vegetables, seaweed, tofu, lentils, other beans, exercising, yoga did not help me in the least to avoid this cancer. None of the "health" magazines or diets face up to the facts that at least for most oral cancer cases, this is a VIRAL infection from
HPV and not a lifestyle issue.
