The only two foods that actually 'cause cancer' according to dietician — not sugar A cancer nutritionist has highlighted the two foods we should steer clear of if we want to lower our risk of cancer.
On her Instagram account, Nichole addresses allegations about other foods often labelled as "cancer-causing", such as sugar: "As a cancer dietician, let me clarify: sugar all on its own will not cause cancer [or] have your cancer grow quicker.
If you have a diet high in sugar, you're probably going to have excess calories but that can go for anything, you can have an excess of any foods and then you're going to have a calorie surplus and then you're going to gain weight, gain fat tissue and it's the fat tissue that increases cancer risk.".
Nichole, who specialises in oncology and claims to have assisted thousands of cancer survivors through dietary changes, identifies these two foods as alcohol and processed meats.
Nichole Andrews, a registered dietitian nutritionist who refers to herself as "the oncology dietician" online, says: "I want to remind you that even though everyone's saying everything that you're eating is increasing cancer risk, it's not.
