Advertisement suggesting that a healthy diet helps prevent cancer. Many dietary recommendations have been proposed to reduce the risk of cancer, few have significant supporting scientific evidence. [1] [2] [3] Obesity and drinking alcohol have been correlated with the incidence and progression of some cancers. [1]
In cancer cells, major changes in gene expression increase glucose uptake to support their rapid growth. Unlike normal cells, which produce lactate only when oxygen is low, cancer cells convert much of the glucose to lactate even in the presence of adequate oxygen. This is known as the “Warburg Effect.”
A Western diet is often high in omega-6 fatty acids, experts say, due to widely available seed oils often used to fry fast foods and manufacture the ultraprocessed foods that now make up about 70% ...
A 2019 commentary in the journal Public Health Nutrition defined ultra-processed foods as “industrial formulations of processed food substances (oils, fats, sugars, starch, protein isolates ...
From 2011 to 2019, incidence of colon cancer fell by about 1% annually, mainly among older adults. In people younger than 55, rates have been growing by 1% to 2% a year since the mid-1990s.
Scientist Otto Warburg, whose research activities led to the formulation of the Warburg hypothesis for explaining the root cause of cancer.. The Warburg hypothesis (/ ˈ v ɑːr b ʊər ɡ /), sometimes known as the Warburg theory of cancer, postulates that the driver of carcinogenesis (cancer formation) is insufficient cellular respiration caused by insult (damage) to mitochondria.

Over a 45-year span — between 1975 and 2020 — improvements in cancer screenings and prevention strategies have reduced deaths from five common cancers more than any advances in treatments.
More than half of the effect from the diet is due to overnutrition (eating too much), rather than from eating too few vegetables or other healthful foods. [citation needed] Some specific foods are linked to specific cancers. A high-salt diet is linked to gastric cancer. [62] Aflatoxin B1, a frequent food contaminant, causes liver cancer. [62]
