There are only two foods that 'cause cancer', according to myth-busting nutritionist

A cancer nutrition expert has pinpointed two specific foods to avoid for those looking to reduce their cancer risk. Nichole Andrews, a registered dietitian nutritionist known as 'the oncology dietician' on social media, focuses on oncology nutrition and boasts of aiding countless cancer survivors with dietary adjustments.Nichole confronts common myths about other foods often branded as "cancer-causing", such as sugar, on her Instagram account, reports the Mirror."I want to remind you that even though everyone's saying everything that you're eating is increasing cancer risk, it's not," Nichole explained online. "There are only two foods that you eat...

that increase your cancer risk".Nichole named alcohol and processed meats as the culprits. "That is it, that's the full list," she insisted, detailing that processed meats include "your pre-cooked meats, so hot dogs, deli meats, sausages, bacon."She further explained that this encompasses "all types of alcohol, including red wine".

Nichole continued: "As a cancer dietician, let me clarify: sugar all on its own will not cause cancer [or] have your cancer grow quicker."If you have a diet high in sugar, you're probably going to have excess calories but that can go for anything, you can have an excess of any foods and then you're going to have a calorie surplus and then you're going to gain weight, gain fat tissue - and it's the fat tissue that increases cancer risk." The expert cautioned that sugar doesn't directly cause cancer as all cells - including healthy ones - use glucose for energy. "Cutting sugar won't 'starve' cancer cells.

What's actually linked to cancer risk is excess fat tissue, which produces inflammatory hormones that promote tumour growth," she continued.Nicho
