Are there specific foods to avoid during cancer treatment?
Certain foods should be avoided due to the risk of infection or because they can exacerbate treatment side effects. These include:
- Raw or undercooked meats, fish, and eggs to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. - Unpasteurized dairy products and juices. - Highly processed foods with excessive sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. - Alcohol, which can interfere with treatment and exacerbate side effects.
