  There are hundreds, if not thousands, of papers in peer-reviewed medical journals dating back to the mid 1980s relating to the causes and preventative of breast, cervical, ovarian, endometrial and corpus uterine cancers. Unfortunately, this information is generally not read by medical practitioners, specialists or health support organisations.

• What are the Benefits of a Low-Carbohydrate Diet in Treating Cancer?

  The view that sugar causes cancer is prevalent in the popular press and on the internet and it should be avoided.

  The conclusion of this “controlled trial of dietary change in 3088 women previously treated for early stage breast cancer” was:

  Among survivors of early stage breast cancer, adoption of a diet that was very high in vegetables, fruit, and fiber and low in fat did not reduce additional breast cancer events or mortality during a 7.3-year follow-up period.

  This made headlines all over the world. This is the proof people were waiting for – that changes to your diet has no impact on breast cancer. Medical practitioners, dieticians and the public now have the evidence that there is no need to change your diet.

  It appears that the authors are deliberately being deceptive.
