What role does food play in preventing and treating cancer? Food journalist and BBC broadcaster Sheila Dillon joins Liz to reveal why she wants food to feature more heavily in conversations about cancer.
Sheila shares her own experience of Multiple Myeloma (MM), a cancer of the bone marrow, and how her approach to treatment differed from her sister’s, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Sheila also talks through the changes she made to her diet during this time, and discusses with Liz the potent powers of natural medicinals, such as turmeric and medicinal mushrooms.
Liz and Sheila cover the impact of pesticides, the role diet can play in cancer prevention, plus how we can cut down on ultra-processed foods - and why this must be a priority.
