WHAT FRUITS SHOULD CANCER PATIENTS AVOID?

LOOK AT THE BLOG

WHY CERTAIN FRUITS MAY NOT BE SAFE

Some fruits may interact with cancer medications, irritate the digestive system, or increase infection risk due to weakened immunity.

AVOID GRAPEFRUIT DURING TREATMENT

Grapefruit can interfere with drug metabolism and increase medication levels, raising the risk of harmful side effects.

RAW MELONS MAY CARRY LISTERIA

Melons like cantaloupe and honeydew may harbor harmful bacteria. Only eat if washed, cut safely, and stored properly.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

HIGH-SUGAR FRUITS NEED LIMITING

Mangoes, grapes, figs, and watermelon may spike blood sugar. Moderation is key, especially during treatment.

UNPASTEURIZED JUICES ARE NOT SAFE

Raw juices may contain bacteria like E. coli or salmonella. Cancer patients should choose pasteurized juices only.

LIMIT DRIED FRUITS DURING TREATMENT

Dried fruits are concentrated in sugar and may contain sulfites, which can trigger reactions and digestive discomfort.

SAFE FRUIT CHOICES FOR CANCER PATIENTS

Choose well-washed, easy-to-digest fruits like bananas, applesauce, pasteurized juices, and soft cooked fruits.
