Can starting a vegan diet slow down stage 4 cancers?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
unknown but...: A healthy diet is crucial for anyone with cancer but there is no consensus as to what diet is best; many advise a vegan diet but there is no research proving it helps (or does not help). The only thing most nutritionists agree is to avoid sugar ; simple carbs. For info on diet ; cancer see http://www.Cancertutor.Com/alttreatments/alt_diet.Html ; http://bit.Ly/1ajg9vx also see comment:.

You're free to try: The principal "study" suggesting that a vegan diet prevents cancer, based on mao-era death certificates, was so flawed scientifically that it could never pass peer review, and the author went on to write about the value of eating fish. Well-informed vegans who supplement tend to be healthy because of other lifestyle factors; i doubt it'll touch cancer but you are free to try it if you truly wish.
