Love this! Thank you for sharing such an insightful article!
How do you know this website is truly reliable?
We do spend time researching and vetting resources we include on our website. However, this blog that you reference is a blog that is quite dated at this point (from 2013)–because blogs are a “snippet” in time, we don’t typically update their content. However, we do have a more recently updated and regularly reviewed article available-https://www.oncolink.org/support/nutrition-and-cancer/during-and-after-treatment/resources-for-more-information-nutrition-during-treatment. Because this is an article it is reviewed at least every 2 years. I hope this is helpful to you.
Very helpful information about the right links. Thank you for sharing.
