Cancer: Foods to Avoid

Carla Araya, Registered Dietitian with Miami Cancer Institute, recommends staying away from processed foods and inflammatory foods, such as white sugar, white bread, white rice, something in a box or package like canned foods. "Stay away from saturated fats, fried foods, processed meats like salami and ham, because of the nitrites and it increases your risk of stomach cancer." About food preparation, she says if you are going through cancer treatment and you are immunocompromised, you have to have two cutting boards to do raw foods on one, and fruits and vegetables on the other.
