cancer prevention

What role does food play in preventing and treating cancer? Food journalist and BBC broadcaster Sheila Dillon joins Liz to reveal why she wants food to feature more heavily in conversations about cancer.

Sheila shares her own experience of Multiple Myeloma (MM), a cancer of the bone marrow, and how her approach to treatment differed from her sister’s, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Sheila also talks through the changes she made to her diet during this time, and discusses with Liz the potent powers of natural medicinals, such as turmeric and medicinal mushrooms.

Liz and Sheila cover the impact of pesticides, the role diet can play in cancer prevention, plus how we can cut down on ultra-processed foods - and why this must be a priority.

In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, the conversation focuses on cancer screening, a topic often shrouded in confusion yet crucial to understand given that early identification of a cancer is an essential part of survival strategy. Peter examines the arguments both for and against cancer screening, including addressing why some trials may show no benefit to screening. He then delves into the various screening modalities available for different cancers, highlights the pros and cons associated with each, and explains how to interpret the results. Additionally, Peter provides guidance for navigating outside of the relatively narrow and confined screening guidelines for various types of screening tests.

Load up on those leftovers - because it’s surprisingly easy to make your bowl of pasta better for you! In this episode, Michael uncovers how reheating carb-heavy foods actually boosts the resistant starch in them. Resistant starch is a healthy carb that can benefit your gut, reduce blood sugar spikes and lower your cancer risk. Dr Darrell Cockburn, Assistant Professor of Food Science from Penn State University, reveals how these carbs can benefit your microbiome. They discuss why reheating leftovers can not only reduce food waste, but also make your food more nutritious than the original dish!

Supposedly they can prevent cancer, reduce inflammation, and even help you live longer…

In today’s short episode of ZOE Science and Nutrition, Jonathan and Sarah look at the history of superfoods and ask: are some foods really more ‘super’ than others? Or is this just another marketing ploy?

In today’s podcast we talk about everything to do with the “emperor of all maladies”, the big C. 

Myself and Professor Robert have met on a couple of occasions at conferences geared toward healthy lifestyle and cancer, and I could not think of a more educated and enthusiastic person to have on the podcast who is up to date with the evidence and continues to wave the flag for lifestyle medicine and oncology.

Professor Robert Thomas is a Consultant Oncologist at Bedford and Addenbrooke’s Hospitals, a clinical teacher at Cambridge University and visiting Professor of Sports and nutritional science at the University of Bedfordshire. He is lead of a Lifestyle and Cancer Research Unit conducting designing and conducting government backed studies evaluating the impact of exercise, diet and natural therapies. 

More recently, he led the analysis of the 155,000 patient data set (PLCO) which has linked sugar with an increased cancer and tea and broccoli with cancer prevention. In 2019, he wrote the book “Keep Healthy after Cancer”, and remains medical advisor for the lifestyle and cancer website Cancernet.co.uk.

We frame our conversation into 3 distinct areas to avoid confusion. What to eat to prevent cancer, during cancer and post cancer with the aim of reducing risk and improving outcomes. As cancer is an extremely broad field and confusing for even medical professionals to understand it’s biology, I want to remind listeners and viewers that this is general information and not to be taken as medical advice.

In today’s pod we talk about

• What Cancer is
• The balance of genetic vs acquired cancer and the influence of lifestyle on risk
• The general principles of how to avoid cancer
• What foods to eat
• How food exerts a positive impact on cancer risk
• How we investigate the anti-cancer impact of food
• Gut health and cancer
• The Warburg effect
• The implication of excess sugar on cancer risk
• What to eat during cancer
• The potential for ‘prehab’ initiatives
• Vitamin D, Polyphenol and Probiotic supplements, Vitamin Supplements
• Post Cancer lifestyle regimens to reduce the risk of recurrence
• What an anti-cancer diet looks like
• The Future of Oncology: Individualised medicine, Immunotherapy and Metabolic Oncology
