  • Nichole Andrews told Newsweek about a "sustainable, enjoyable, and scientifically supported for cancer risk reduction" diet.

The article from Newsweek discusses insights from dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine on dietary choices that can influence cancer risk. She highlights two main items to avoid or limit: processed meats and alcohol. Processed meats like bacon, sausages, and hot dogs are linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer due to the preservatives and chemicals used in their production. Alcohol consumption is also cautioned against because it can lead to higher levels of estrogen, potentially increasing the risk of breast cancer, and its breakdown in the body produces acetaldehyde, a known carcinogen. Ludlam-Raine suggests that while these foods can be enjoyed occasionally, moderation is key, and a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is recommended to help mitigate cancer risk.
