A Dietary Defense Against Cancer: Analysis of Diet and Cancer Prevention

This thesis explores the novel research that connects our diet with cancer. As cancer research continues, the role of the gut microbiome in cancer prevention becomes increasingly more important. Research links the health of the gut microbiome to the health of our body, which includes cancer risk. This thesis explores how our diet and the gut microbiome can enable or prevent carcinogenesis. The role of dysbiosis and chronic inflammation is also explored. By exploring examples of notable biomolecules and dietary patterns, an ideal dietary pattern for cancer prevention will emerge. By keeping our gut microbiome healthy through our diet, we can begin to build a dietary defence against cancer.
