The Complexity of Cancer and Dietary Approaches

Cancer is a diverse disease with over 100 different types, making it impossible to cure all cancers with a single dietary approach. Cancer therapies are highly targeted and tailored to specific cancer types, highlighting the limitations of expecting diet alone to cure cancer.
