                This handout will help you find information you can trust about cancer and diet.   
                 
                Introduction 
                      •    The facts about diets and cancer can be confusing.   
                      •    You may have heard that sugar feeds cancer.  Or that you should avoid certain 
                           foods to prevent cancer or slow cancer growth.  At present, there is no evidence to 
                           support this.  Eating or avoiding one food or nutrient does not impact cancer growth.   
                      •    Ask your treating team about things you may have heard or are thinking of trying.

                           drinking  well during cancer treatment.  It will provide and link you with reliable 
                           information, resources and tools.  It also provides some practical tips that will help 
                           you along the way.

                Recommendations before and during treatment 
                  •     There are no foods to prevent or slow cancer growth.  But research tells us that eating 
                        enough to keep your healthy cells working is important.  This can improve physical 
                        function, quality of life, fatigue and reduce treatment complications. 
                  •     You can use your weight as a rough guide of if you’re eating enough.  If you are 
                        losing weight without trying, this may be a sign that you’re not eating enough. 
                  •     Choose a balanced eating pattern that includes a wide variety of foods if you can.   
                  •     Avoid drastic diet restrictions. No single food will improve response to treatment. 
                        Rather, we know that eating enough food during treatment is important.  
                  •     If you have symptoms that stop you from eating enough, talk to your dietitian or 
                        treating team.  They may recommend a high protein, high energy eating pattern.   
                  •     You may already follow a specific eating pattern before starting treatment. An 
                        example is vegetarian.  If you want to continue eating this way during treatment, talk 
                        to your dietitian.  They will check that you are getting enough nutrition.   
                How can you reduce your cancer risk after treatment? 
                                                                                 My

                      •    Carbohydrate foods are part of a balanced eating pattern.  Carbohydrates include: 
                                                                            Nutrition 
                                                                               Nutrition 
                                ·    wholegrain or high fibre cereal foods 
                                ·    fruits 
                                ·    starchy vegetables (example potato, corn, legumes/beans) 
                                ·    milk and yoghurt.   
                          They provide essential nutrients for our body.  Some may reduce the risk of some 
                          cancers.  Choose wholegrain or high fibre options where possible.   
                      •    Limit ‘refined carbohydrates’ when you have finished treatment and your weight is 
                           stable. Examples are soft drinks, lollies, chocolates, cordial and fruit juices.  These 
                           foods have low amounts of important nutrients.  They may also provide excessive 
                           energy and lead to weight gain. 
                      •    Being overweight or obese is a risk factor for developing some cancers. Reduce 
                           your risk of cancer and other conditions by maintaining a healthy weight.  
                           Maintaining a healthy weight is recommended to reduce cancer risk and other 
                           health conditions. Talk with your doctor or dietitian about the best time to start your

                  •     Avoid drastic diet restrictions 
                  •     No single food will prevent cancer or improve response to treatment.   
                  •     Eating enough to keep your healthy cells working is important. 
                  •     Choose an eating pattern that is healthy and balanced when are well enough to do so.  
                        It is important that you are eating enough before, during and after cancer treatment.  
                        This will help maintain your weight, strength and energy.
