How Can Cancer Patients Ensure Fruits and Vegetables are Safe?
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a cancer patient's diet, but they must be handled properly:
- Wash thoroughly: Always rinse fruits and vegetables under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking. - Peel when possible: Peeling can remove contaminants from the surface. - Cook when necessary: Some vegetables can be safer when cooked, as heat kills most bacteria.
