Diet doubts

My mom is suffering from colon cancer. I have seen articles on the Internet saying diet along with conventional treatment plays a major role. Some say keto diet is the best and also if not keto patients should absolutely refrain from having sugar. How true is it? Also what kind of diet do you people follow? Is there any special diet?

Thanks in advance for your help and time.

  • Hi sodes,

    I'm sorry to read about your mum. I'm unable to advise on the specifics of your question in terms of certain diets and their connection to cancer. However diet of course plays a big role in health generally so it's important to pay attention to it.

    For questions specific to your mum it is always best to seek advice from her doctor, who will be best placed to advise.

    If you'd like to find out more about diet and cancer, please see this page here which has a lot of useful info on it. 

    There is also a blog here which gives some info on the relationship between sugar and cancer.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
