The internet’s biggest food myths debunked by the TikTok nutritionist

“I’ve seen in my own clinical practice, multiple people who have gone down this path and, unfortunately, it has been too late for them once they have decided to go down the traditional chemotherapy or radiotherapy path”, she told The Independent.
