Can a macrobiotic diet cure cancer?

Myth: The macrobiotic diet, a common dietary alternative, can cure cancer. Answer: The various cultures present in the United States are filled with contradictions when it comes to nutrition. Americans are bombarded with fast food franchises and restaurants serving larger and larger portions of mass produced food. However, at the same time, media outlets and infomercials report on the obesity crisis in America and countless diet plans, precooked health food programs, or dietary supplements are offered from a variety of sources. More nutrition information has become available to the average consumer through product labeling and the internet and, as these factors continue to interplay with one another, interest in the connection between nutrition and disease increases.
