Unnamed cancer: Cancer cells differ only slightly from our own. "cancer diets" are mostly minor scams. Once a cancer is established, there's little empirical (i.e., reproducible studies) and no theoretical reason to think that one particular kind of food will work better for you than another. A diet with adequate protein and nutrients, that you actually like, coupled with sufficient exercise, is still best.
