"The Macrobiotic Diet in Cancer"
Abstract
Macrobiotics is one of the most popular
alternative or complementary comprehensive lifestyle approaches to
cancer. The centerpiece
of macrobiotics is a predominantly vegetarian,
whole-foods diet that has gained popularity because of remarkable case
reports
of individuals who attributed recoveries from
cancers with poor prognoses to macrobiotics and the substantial evidence
that
the many dietary factors recommended by
macrobiotics are associated with decreased cancer risk. Women consuming
macrobiotic
diets have modestly lower circulating estrogen
levels, suggesting a lower risk of breast cancer. This may be due in
part to
the high phytoestrogen content of the macrobiotic
diet. As with most aspects of diet in cancer therapy, there has been
limited
research evaluating the effectiveness of the
macrobiotic diet in alleviating suffering or prolonging survival of
cancer patients.
