Eating plenty of
fruits and vegetables doesn't help women with breast cancer and it doesn't
necessarily reduce the risk of the disease returning. The same can be
said for prostate cancer and other forms of the disease. But a
recent study found, in colorectal cancer, that a diet that relied more on
these foods plus whole grains fish and chicken did reduce the recurrence.
Here's our take on it. We will definitely find that a diet like this
helps in all cases, but it is difficult to get a clear association or
correlation because diet has so many components and effects. It also
depends on the individual's genetics. Nevertheless, it shows how we are
looking more and more at diet and its role with cancer and other
conditions. That's the point we need to take home. Diet plays a key
role and a crucial role in how we evaluate cancer and other health issues.
