Turmeric is promoted as an alternative cancer treatment. There is some evidence that curcumin, a substance in turmeric, can kill cancer cells in certain cancers. But we need more research.

Summary

  • Turmeric is a spice grown in many Asian countries.
  • Research on curcumin as a cancer treatment is ongoing.
  • It may have side effects if taken in large amounts

Eating more calories than your body needs can cause weight gain. Many people eat too much food with added sugar and fat. The following foods add extra calories that can contribute to obesity:

  • Sugar sweetened beverages, including soda and fruit-flavored drinks. Sugary drinks can be hot or cold.

  • Full-fat dairy products, such as whole milk cheese.

  • High-fat meats, including fried chicken with skin, duck, hamburgers, bacon, ham, sausage, hot dogs, and many deli meats.

Obesity is linked to a higher risk of many cancers. Talk with your health care team about whether your weight is affecting your health and cancer risk

  • Perform essential functions
  • Grow and develop
  • Repair itself 
Some vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are antioxidants. Research on their role in cancer prevention continues because studies show mixed results.

Here are some vitamins:
  • Beta carotene
  • Calcium and vitamin D
  • Folate
  • Selenium
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E

The link between cancer and diet is just as mysterious as the disease itself. Much research has pointed toward certain foods and nutrients that may help prevent—or, conversely, contribute to—certain types of cancer.


While there are many factors you can't change that increase your cancer risk, such as genetics and environment, there are others you can control. In fact, estimates suggest that less than 30% of a person's lifetime risk of getting cancer results from uncontrollable factors. The rest you have the power to change, including your diet.


 Dietary factors are recognized as having a significant effect on the risk of cancers, with different dietary elements both increasing and       reducing risk. Diet and obesity may be related to up to 30-35% of cancer deaths, while physical inactivity appears to be related to 7% risk of cancer occurrence.
