No food that our ancestors have been eating for millions of years can cause cancer in any meaningful way. With a little research, you will find that many foods that you would think are ancestral have only been in the human diet for a few hundred or a few thousand years.

What would be your answer to those that say various versions of this.

**You should avoid red meat if you have cancer and only eat organic vegetables.**

 Some say eating high amounts of carrots for example is a good diet strategy. I know some people that say this and one cancer fighter that has avoided the "traditional" treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. She's going on 5 years with this. Very hard to watch her waste away but having watched multiple people go the traditional route its hard for me to say she should have done the treatments.

I have a hard time thinking that avoiding meat is helpful. Just a gut thing. Wonder what you think about this topic. Obviously avoiding sugar in your diet is good, especially since cancer feeds off of sugars. But most cancer patients are given sugary "protein" drinks.
