Cancer survivors eat a little less healthy than the rest of the
population, a new study revealed — and even its lead researcher was
stunned.
"It is surprising," says Fang Fang Zhang of Tufts University. “They had
poor adherence to the dietary guidelines for Americans and their intake
patterns were worse for fiber and empty calories and from solid fats
and added sugars."
No one is very good at hitting those guidelines — with 48% of average
Americans eating healthfully versus 47.2% of cancer survivors.
