There are many different types of diets circulating around the media; these top tips below can help you find out if the diet is credible or a myth:
Check the source: Reputable sources can be medical journals, reputable cancer charities or Health Professionals.
What is the evidence for the diet based on? Large population intervention studies on people with cancer would be a good basis for a reputable diet.
Is the diet being sold? Be careful if dietary products are being sold, the profit rather than the science may be driving any health claims.
Is the diet balanced? Diets highlighting only to eat a few foods only are unlikely to be balanced or healthy and may do damage overall.
If you remain unsure seek advice from a Dietitian.
