Chemo cravings are real. I wanted pickled herring, pickles and sauerkraut!

[@yerbba]

Chemo cravings can indeed bring about some interesting and unexpected food preferences! It's great that you listened to your body and enjoyed those unique cravings. The important thing is to nourish yourself in a way that feels right for you during this time.

Please tell us more about dairy products for hormonal positive breast cancer. Thank you doc ❤

[@kathyl1123]

What about anxiety after breast cancer lobukar cancer stage 1b

[@yerbba]

We can add this to our list. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@CarmenShenk]

Chemo gave me anemia and I ate more red meat than usual to try to come back from that and it seemed to work as my blood work bounced back. I almost never eat red meat usually, but chemo also changed the foods I liked and didn’t like, so I don’t know. Right now I like it, maybe next week I won’t like it. LOL!

HI doctor !can cancer patient take milk egg toufu , all dairy products .thanks

[@yerbba]

There is no evidence that tofu or milk are harmful.

[@notaz123]

Hi Doc ,my question..if we stop red meat and sugar will the cancer go away

[@yerbba]

While we might wish that we could make cancer go away through our own behaviors, it is not the case that cutting out meat and sugar will do so.

[@loidaveraye262]

good morning!im cancer petient.what is the best food keto diet or lowcarb?thank you

[@yerbba]

From a cancer standpoint, neither is preferred. If there are other reasons to follow one or the other, those reasons can be considered specifically.

[@deborahbarkley6429]

Is it safe to eat red meat a few times a month, when mostly eat white meat? Like chicken, fish, turkey. I'm getting tired of only eating white meat. I'm just starting my chemo journey of 2 years tamoxifen ect. for triple positive ductual cancer. And is it safe to maybe 2 times a week drink warm tea with sweet and low? Since sugar feeds cancer. Plus I'm craving a donut so bad, since cant have because of cancer. I'm overweight because of other health issues that's been going on for several years. I only eat once a day. Trying eat more fruit and veggies too. Also are canned veggies safe to eat with cancer? Sorry for so many gurstions.

[@yerbba]

These are great questions. Check out our video about sugar and cancer kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpO4f4aef9utrqc . Lots of people ask about that! It is just fine to eat red meat occasionally, for example once a week. We are not enthusiastic about artificial sweeteners although in people with diabetes, they may be preferred over sugar. This would be something to ask your doctor about. Canned vegetables are also okay as long as there is no added sugar or salt.

I have enjoyed watching your videos during my breast cancer journey (2022). They are short and to the point which is perfect for my attention span 🙂. I am ER+ PR+ and HER2+. I have not found consistent information about nutrition (what to and not to eat) for women who are estrogen positive AND whether or not it makes a difference if you are on an estrogen blocker or not. If you are able to provide any information on this topic I would love it. Eat cruciferous vegetables is not enough. Thank you for considering this.

[@susantaulli6580]

I have the same diagnosis and am wondering the same thing

[@raven7458]

I have the same diagnosis but can’t eat cruciferous vegetables because of my Hypothyroidism. I’ve also NEVER in my life smoked, drank alcohol or eaten red meat due to my religion. I do eat limited chicken and mainly fish 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@yerbba]

We will do a video on this. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@aminazia2127]

A lady who diagnosed wd stage 2 breast cancer, she completed her chemo treatment.now she is not getting further surgery treatment. Can she avoid red meat? R what is the best suggested diet for her to reduce chances of cancer.

[@yerbba]

Red meat is fine after breast cancer. Check out our videos on the foods to avoid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipOTdXdoobWipMk and those that are helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaCbY5eBaL13b9E.

[@DarkEagle895]

Is deer meat as dangerous as beef?

[@yerbba]

Deer meat is considered red meat (for the benefit of our other viewers). Deer meat is likely to be as safe as beef. Fortunately, there are no dangerous foods. Alcohol is probably the closest thing to something we would call dangerous.

[@nonyabiness4023]

The only things I wanted during chemo was green olives, bacon, V8 original juice and beef broth! Nothing else tasted good

[@yerbba]

Taste changes can be quite common, and it's interesting how certain foods can become unexpectedly appealing. It's great that you found comfort in these particular choices. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your journey with the Yerbba community.

[@nicoleautumn7742]

Love the neutrality of presentation

[@yerbba]

Thanks for watching.

[@aditeesingh6123]

R goat n chicken considered as red meat??

[@yerbba]

In nutritional terms, goat and chicken are not considered red meat. Thanks for watching.

[@AnnChase-qw6rv]

Red meat is Not the problem. Sugar and processed food are more likely. Fat helps constipation more than fiber. I am a 3 x cancer survivor. Cancer needs glucose to thrive. Fat eating ketosis makes more sense and fights inflammation. Your comment that red meat is associated with other health issues i.e. being overweight, and drinking alcohol as if these dietary issues are an avoidable syndrome, has little factual merit. I have been subscribed for a while because I believe your calm delivery of expectations can be a lifeline. Your dietary suggestions show American standard diet bias and raise some concerns. Fortunately you encourage patients to allow cravings and not stress about it.

[@yerbba]

The real point we are trying to make is that people did not cause their cancer and should be kind to themselves. We do try to avoid unfounded claims regarding the link between food and breast cancer. You are correct in that we are likely biased towards US-type diets.

[@truth23-gp7dk]

Actually the content is good... But it seems this doc prefers conventional treatment such us chemo, etc

[@yerbba]

It’s understandable that you might have concerns about conventional treatments like chemotherapy, and it’s always good to stay informed about all the options. The goal of sharing information about the standard courses of treatment is to help people understand what has been scientifically demonstrated in randomized trials to work. That said, we also aim to address and debunk experimental methods when necessary, so that everyone has a clear picture of what’s effective and what may still be unproven. It’s all about empowering people to make the best decisions for their health with reliable information.

[@truth23-gp7dk]

@@yerbba thanks.. We appreciate your effort

[@msb8287]

Red meat is NOT the problem. There's a reason why red meat is craved. The SAD diet, "heart healthy diet", and OMG did you just say cows are bad forcthe environment?! I now question ALL the advise you given. 😢

[@deniselangston3114]

Bullcrap.
