[Is there a diet therapy for malignant tumors].
None of the numerous und repeatedly recommended tumor diets' therapeutic effects have ever been proven. All types of diet are based on speculation. Starting points for a discussion on possible therapeutic mechanisms are the increased mineralocorticoid release as result of low sodium and high potassium uptake, the effects of a low fat intake on the immunological mechanisms, and the inhibitory effect on tumor growth by high carotene and vitamin C intake.
