Cancer is rising faster than most people realise, and the question many ask is: Can nutrition actually cure cancer, or is that just a myth?

Globally, cancer cases have increased by over 79% since 1990, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study. In India alone, the rise is alarming: Kerala saw a 35% increase in reported cases between 2015 and 2024, and states like Nagaland, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, and Punjab all recorded increases above 25%.

While some states like Manipur showed a decline, the overall cancer burden in India and worldwide continues to grow, driven by lifestyle, environment, genetics, and dietary patterns. If you or someone you care about is navigating cancer, this is information rooted in evidence, not fear, not false hope.
