Foods that fight cancer

[55Chevy]

My husband has advanced prostate cancer. Has anyone had results from eating a plant based diet?

iv heard tomatoes are great but best to investigate yourself.

Both cooked tomatoes and cruciferous vegetables -- broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage -- have been shown to help prevent cancer, especially prostate cancer. Now, research suggests that eating tomatoes and broccoli together has even more potent health effects.25 Apr 2007

Hi 55Chevy

Welcome to the Healthy eating forum. I wondered if you would find either of these articles of interest:

The first is from Healthline and is about 'Foods for Prostate Health'

healthline.com/health/prost...

The second is a medically reviewed article from Web MD entitled "Is there a Prostate Cancer Diet?"

There are a couple of articles on Dr Gregors site:

nutritionfacts.org/video/tr...

And Dr Ornish on his study (which Gregor refers to)

I feel for you and your husband 55Chevy Diet should be loads of greenery, fruit, veg. avoid synthetic sugars/margarine etc and sweeten with raw sugar where possible. Also, have a look at LDN Research Trust. Good stuff.

Do you have a reference for that claim from sloan-kettering - preferably one published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal?

Your claim that sugar feeds cancer sounds an awful like myth #4 mentioned here

And this 2016 article from sloan-kettering does not support your claim:

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. I hope the doctors are giving some guidance on treatment.

It's not something I have experience of, and it's important that you don't take our advice over that of a qualified medical professional.

The one common theme I notice from all those who say diet helped their cancer, is that they follow a very nutrient dense diet. If you choose to go plant based, it's important to eat a wide variety of vegetables to pack in as many nutrients as you can.

I've heard positive things about juicing, as it gets a lot of nutrients in one hit. I would avoid processed foods if you can.

This video is from an experienced vegan doctor in Ohio who researches a lot of alternative solutions (not necessarily instead of traditional medicine). She has many similar videos too: youtu.be/TRbIn5qL-_k(Not working as expected?)

Thank you kindly, JAS9. 🙏 😌

Much appreciated. ☺️

Aside:

Don’t know if Kris Carr’s ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kri... ) perspective ( google.com/search?as_q=%22K... , m.youtube.com/user/KrisCarr... ) might interest you & your beloved, 55Chevy ? 🤔

She’s a young woman living with Stage IV cancer (epithelioid hemangioendothelioma) affecting liver & lungs. [I’d heard her speak via a John & Ocean Robbins ‘Food Summit’: healthunlocked.com/nras/pos.... .]

Maybe what Kris has to say about how she lives with & manages cancer, might interest your beloved? 🤔

(Yes, a female 👩 perspective, yet her attitude/ approach may be encouraging & well received by a male 👱‍♂️ with prostate cancer? 🤔 . . . Merely a thought 💭 .)

.

Very best wishes to you & your husband, 55Chevy. 😌 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

Oh . . . the Dr. Michael Gregor & Dr. Dean Ornish references above from benwl are reliable resources (in my layman’s opinion) worth researching. 😌 👍👍

That's a 32 min video - not research published in a peer viewed journal. And its contradicted by the 2016 piece from them mskcc.org/blog/no-sugar-no-...

"All carbohydrate is turned to glucose in the body, not just sugar." Um, and your point is what exactly?
