Although the study did not separate out the effects of different foods on cancer mortality, it contributes to a growing body of literature that demonstrates that maintaining a generally healthy diet can decrease the risk of developing and dying from cancer.

What it adds to is the growing body of literature that does not separate out the effects of different foods on cancer mortality--which is to say, it teaches us nothing new and is probably a massive waste of money.

What the experts say: "The sugar in your diet won't promote cancer growth, and there are no studies to date that show that avoiding sugar will shrink a tumor,"
|
The red hasn't been established, and the rest of the sentence is partially true--we need studies to show whether a ketogenic diet will shrink tumours in humans. Back to the quackiness issue--before the effect of diet on various types of cancer in human beings has been established, it's just as quacky to promise that sugar won't promote cancer, as an absolute statement, as it is to promise that it will inhibit it. |
