Onions and garlic add wonderful flavour to food and are easier to digest when cooked. Population studies have shown that people who eat the most onions and garlic have a 55-85% lower risk of cancer compared to people who never or rarely eat these foods.
A high fibre diet can help prevent constipation and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. For some people, symptoms and side effects of cancer and its treatment mean lower fibre options are better tolerated.
