Experts caution against claims of diet curing cancer after Navjot Singh Sidhu's remarks

thequint.com November 28, 2024, 07:01 AM UTC

Navjot Singh Sidhu recently claimed that his wife overcame stage 4 cancer in 40 days through a strict diet, including turmeric and apple cider vinegar. This statement has sparked controversy, with oncologists labeling it misleading and emphasizing the importance of medical treatment. Experts stress that while a healthy diet can support cancer treatment, it cannot replace conventional therapies like chemotherapy and surgery. They warn that attributing recovery solely to diet may mislead patients about effective cancer care. Research shows that while certain foods may have health benefits, there is no scientific evidence that specific diets can cure cancer. A balanced diet is important for overall health, but cancer treatment requires a combination of medical interventions.
