What types of cancer can benefit from a vegan diet?
The doctor listed the three “most common cancers”, according to the NHS, which are breast, prostate and bowel cancer.
She also said: “The main studies that have addressed this question are the EPIC-Oxford study which showed that vegans had a 19 percent reduction in the risk of total cancer.
“In addition, a study from France showed that a healthy plant-based diet, not necessarily 100 percent vegan, reduced overall cancer risk by 15 percent.”
So, if you don’t feel ready to do the full leap just yet, introducing more plant-based options may also have some benefits.
