Foods Cancer Patients Should Avoid 

Processed Meats

Bacon, sausages, and deli meats contain nitrates and chemicals linked to cancer risk. Choose fresh, unprocessed protein sources instead.

Fried & Greasy Foods 

High-fat fried foods increase inflammation, stress digestion, and may worsen side effects. Opt for baked or steamed options.

Excess sugar can fuel inflammation and lead to unhealthy weight gain. Focus on whole fruits for natural sweetness. 

Sugary Foods & Drinks 

Alcohol can interfere with medications, weaken immunity, and increase cancer recurrence risk. Water and herbal teas are safer choices. 

 Alcohol

Excess Salt

High-sodium foods raise blood pressure and stress the kidneys. Choose fresh, home-cooked meals over packaged, salty snacks.

Unpasteurized or Raw Foods 

Weakened immunity increases infection risk from raw foods. Always choose pasteurized dairy and fully cooked meats and eggs.
