Description

Cancer changes everything: your body, your relationships, and of course, what you eat. Nutrition can’t cure cancer (spoiler alert), but it can be a powerful tool to manage symptoms and side effects.

On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with oncology dietitian Peter Adintori about how to pinpoint nutrition solutions for specific symptoms, and we break down myths about the intersection of food and cancer — and whether it’s okay to eat bacon.
