49 | The Biggest Cancer Nutrition Myths
Eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight are key to reducing cancer risk. However, when patients are faced with a recent cancer diagnosis or are undergoing cancer treatment, they are looking for answers. With over 1.9 million new cancer cases in 2023, the chances that you will care for a patient with cancer or one who is in remission from cancer is pretty high. There’s a lot of confusion, thanks to social media influencers, around things like soy, meat, GMOs, sugar and organic foods and their effect on cancer. My guest, oncology dietitian, Julie Lanford, is going to give us the facts about all of it.
Learn the answers to these common questions:
- Does sugar feed cancer?
- Should I be keto/low carb?
- Do soy foods cause cancer?

- Is raw food better than cooked?
- Should I avoid meat?
- Should I avoid dairy?
