Welcome to another episode of That Cancer Conversation! 

In this episode Sophie delves into the big topic of food and cancer.

She begins the conversation with her first guest, Professor Marc Gunter, a cancer epidemiologist who specialises in diet and obesity and is part of Cancer Grand Challenges team, PROMINENT. He talks all about how food can impact someone’s risk of getting cancer and unpacks some highly talked about foods, such as ultra processed foods, coffee beans and even the trending ‘green powders’.

Later in the episode, Cancer Research UK’s health information manager, Dr Rachel Orritt, speaks about misinformation and how sensationalised headlines can often make it to our media and our feeds. She also breaks down some common cancer and diet myths that comes across her desk and what a healthy balanced diet actually means.
