Alternative Diets

Eating well | Canadian Cancer Society / Can a diet cure cancer?

"There is no scientific evidence that any specific food or diet (for example, the alkaline diet, a macrobiotic diet or the Gerson therapy diet) can cure cancer. Because these diets often restrict food choices (like meat, milk, eggs and even vegetables and fruit), they may not provide enough calories, protein, vitamins and minerals. This can lead to weight loss and poor nutrition."
