The other commentators have a lot of good info. But Also lot of it comes down to basic health. Obesity is now an epidemic. Overly processed foods and overly sugary foods.

Many cancers actually feed off of sugar so our food these days is a perfect cancer food.

There are plenty of people that use diet changes to help (not cure/ and used alongside another treeatments) but diet changes can actually help cancer treatments by starving the cancer through eliminating sugar from the diet.
