Are food and cancer really related? Why don’t you eat charred grilled food? Should cancer patients choose to eat vegetarian?
Nowadays, there is a lot of information online. Recommend a diet for cancer patients to reduce the symptoms of the disease. Some information suggests choosing a diet to avoid cancer in the body: Does food really affect cancer? then Associate Prof. Dr. Ekkapop Sirachainan, Head of Ramathibodi Cancer Center provided information to Hfocus that on the issue that Food is effective in cancer prevention It is confirmed that foods that increase the risk of cancer are real, such as grilled food. This group has been shown to be associated with certain types of cancer, such as stomach cancer, which people who like to eat burnt food have found. will find more gastric cancer As for mushrooms mixing in food such as Aflatoxin mushrooms in dry foods, dried beans, have been linked to liver cancer. People who eat a lot of food or products containing this mushroom have a higher risk of developing liver cancer.
“Food is associated with certain types of cancer. But not all diseases As for people who eat a lot of meat get cancer or not. There is no clear evidence yet. If you abstain from meat to avoid cancer Abstaining and non-abstaining aren’t much different. out of the belief that eating more fibre, fruit and vegetables will further reduce the incidence of cancer. It’s not clear either. also difficult to prove Diet control to reduce the incidence of cancer is not very helpful. in terms of defence”. Associate Prof. Dr. Ekkapop said
Associate Prof. Dr. Ekkapop He added that for those who have cancer and are undergoing either chemotherapy (chemo) treatment, surgery or radiation, believing they have to choose food. Cancer will starve and die. which is not true. Cancer cells are also cells of the body. It’s just that there is a change: genes turn into cancer cells. they need food they need the same air It is no different from normal cells: if food is abstained, normal cells or the body will also lack food. Fasting therefore does not slow the growth of cancer cells. Because cancer has the ability to divide and grow on its own. even if we don’t give food Cancer also steals food from our body. Note that the body of cancer patients will be lean due to the food being taken away. Withholding food in cancer treatment doesn’t help. Besides being useless, there are also penalties. The general physical condition will be thinner. When you receive chemotherapy, there will be side effects. and must recover to stay healthy in time for the next round of chemotherapy If not fully nourished The patient’s body will slowly recover, the drug will not be fully treated as expected. The effectiveness of the treatment will be worse. do not eat meat or beef Therefore, there is no effect in terms of both prevention and treatment of cancer, as a study in England also found. Breast cancer patients in the group that ate meat recovered better than the group that ate meat.
For the question Should people with breast cancer drink soy milk or not. Associate Prof. Dr. Ekkapop Explain that hormones are related to cancer. Testosterone is also associated with prostate cancer. As far as female hormones are concerned, it is associated with breast cancer in women. Treatment must also use anti-hormonal drugs. to reduce the production of hormones in the body As a result, the disease responds better. Choosing certain types of food, such as in soy milk, soy products that contain phytoestrogens Plant estrogens or female sex hormones in the body Can stimulate breast cancer cells in the patient’s body This information has no research evidence. either way this will either cause the cancer cells to grow OR interfere with estrogen in the patient’s body until the cancer cells atrophy. The matter has not yet been finalized. Possibly both pro and con. If the patient feels uncomfortable, she shouldn’t eat.
