I'm wondering if breast cancer patients can eat baked products made with gluten free flour...or is this not a good idea? I know we should stay away from white flour and white sugar.... But is gluten free flour okay?

https://www.oncologynutrition.org/home. I think this will help clarify the role of sugar and cancer. Choose article called “Does sugar feed cancer?”

I have read volumes on anti-cancer nutrition. Cancer cells feed on sugar and gluten causes leaky gut. I am currently on a vegan diet and treating ‘leaky gut’. The starting point for curing all disease is healing your gut. Naturopathic doctors treat cancer with diet adjustments and supplements.

Yes... but does gluten free flour also feed cancer like white flour?
Thank you for anything you might know 🥰

I've heard that sugar "feeds" cancer cells

I’ve never heard any specific dietary advice for bc patients or survivors besides trying to eat healthy. Some dont do gluten for various reasons but it’s not because it’s a carcinogen. You do you!
