He said, "But one of my pet hates about this is the idea that you're responsible for your cancer that you can just eat a healthy diet or and do this or do that and you're not going to get cancer. Your modifiable risk for breast cancer is the amount of risk that you can control by doing everything right or wrong is about 30%." "It's like 'Ooh if you eat the good food you'll be fine' and 'You eat the bad food, you kind of deserve it', and you would be surprised by the amount of patients I have talked to that have struggled with guilt over thinking that they're responsible for their cancer when they are not. I assume they're basing that confident assertion off studies like [Dietary intakes of mushrooms and green tea combine to reduce the risk of breast cancer in Chinese women by Min Xhang et al] because there's very limited data on this. There is very limited data to support that kind of contention, and particularly giving frequencies like two to three times per day, that is nonsense." "Firstly, the evidence based on dairy and breast cancer is incredibly inconsistent and mainly spurious. There are some that find that red meat might slightly increase risk, there's other studies that find eating poultry and chicken products decrease your breast cancer risk, and again you're dancing on the edge of significance, you're dancing on the end of spurious things. But the idea you suddenly have to eat a plant-based diet to avoid this is not evidence-based. "If you on an autopsy table look at someone in their 90s, if they're a woman they'll have the beginnings of breast cancer. Earlier this week, Dr Grimes filmed a video expanding on his criticism of the advice, stating, "We need to stop blaming people for incidences of cancer. Cancer for example is primarily a disease of ageing. Breast surgeon and breast cancer survivor Dr Liz O'Riordain called the pair out on social media, stating, "Don’t believe everything you see.
