I'm a cancer dietitian ‐ I would never consume these 7 foods and drinks
2024-10-11
[NYP] She’s got a beef with these seven items.

Nichole Andrews, a Washington-based oncology dietitian and author, is sharing the seven foods and drinks she warns may increase your risk of developing cancer or having it return.

In her June TikTok, which has garnered 2.9 million views, Andrews recommends avoiding alcohol, processed meats, soda, red meat, coffee drinks, white grains and plant-based milks.

#5  General advice is bad advice. Everybody is different; some folks can eat peanuts, some can drink alcohol without being a drunk, some can load up on carbs and still be thin…. Figure it out for yourself and be happy.

#4  Going deeper in the article delivers nuance:

She notes that red meat in moderation does not correlate to an increased risk of cancer. However, consuming more than 18 ounces of red meat per week has been associated with increased odds of colorectal cancer.

Coffee provides myriad health benefits — consuming three to four cups of joe a day has been shown to reduce the risk of liver cancer and other alcohol-related liver diseases.

A recent study also found that moderate coffee consumption can lower the risk of developing a combination of diabetes, stroke and heart disease, known as cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

However, these benefits are compromised when your cup of coffee veers into dessert territory.

“I’m a whole-grain girl through and through. Whole grains are going to help you reduce risks of colon and breast cancer, and [they’ll] give you more fiber and more nutrients as well because [they’re] less processed.”

She explains that while white grains like those found in white bread are not expressly linked to increased cancer risk, the lack of fiber makes them a poor choice overall.

Andrews said that despite the popularity of alternative milks, she always chooses nutrient-rich, full-fat dairy. “I don’t do the plant milks … because they are so low in protein.”

She also said the “amazing” calcium in cow’s milk reduces the risk of colorectal cancer.
