Question
Can cancer patients eat sugar and sweet foods, even if they have a preference for bland food due to their condition?
Answer
As of now, there is no authoritative evidence to show that moderate consumption of sweet foods will worsen the condition of cancer patients. Sugar is an essential substance for human metabolism. The primary treatment is surgery, followed by subsequent treatment based on the pathological results after surgery. It is recommended to have a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritant foods, and to consume more fresh vegetables, fruits, and mushroom foods. Sweet foods can be eaten, but they should not be consumed in excess.
