CANCER DIET SURVEY (ON-LINE)
The questionnaire is designed to investigate whether a change of diet during or after cancer therapy has a significant affect on cancer remission or relapse rates. It is conducted by Prof. Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Marina Antonio from Washington State University. Given the complexity of human diet and associated factors, the focus will be on a change in diet before, during and after cancer diagnosis and treatment. Several hypotheses will be tested from the hypothesis that (1) any diet affects are marginal compared to environmental conditions and life activities, and that (2) diet needs and requirements are distinctly different from individual to individual, to the hypothesis that (3) the relapse rates of cancer may be related to certain food groups such as sugars (e.g. simple carbohydrates) and (4) foods that include high amounts of growth hormones (e.g., certain dairy products and types of meats). The results will be analyzed using standard statistical methods to examine the significance of the obtained results. The more responses are received, the more conclusive the results will be.
