Top oncologist shares 5 foods that can help starve cancer and lower risk

What if fighting cancer could start with the food on your plate? Research shows that certain everyday foods can help protect cells and reduce cancer risk. In a recent episode of Mel Robbins podcast, board‑certified oncologist at Mayo Clinic, Dr. Dawn Mussallem, revealed five everyday foods that can help starve cancer and reduce its risk. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research, she emphasizes how simple dietary changes can exert a powerful, protective effect at the cellular level.According to Dr. Mussallem, these foods don’t just nourish, they send “molecular signals” that modulate gene activity, strengthen the body’s detox pathways, and suppress inflammation. What’s striking is that even modest, consistent consumption of these items can deliver meaningful benefits.
