I just read through these posts, and I think the debate here is what I've found most frustrating of all... On the one hand, you've got folks promoting what I think is sound nutrutional information that makes sense for the most part. On the other hand, you have folks calling it a bunch of quackery. The nutritionist we talked to at MD Anderson fell in the latter part. We called her a "hardcore traditionalist" after talking with her for more than an hour.

At the same point, there aren't the indepth studies out there that show taking Vitamin X and Supplement Y will definitively help you in the battle against cancer. It's all very frustrating and confusing. The more I read and study, the more lost I seem to be...
