Very true. Ironically, as I wrote earlier, people micromanaging their diets and chasing every new (or not so new) study that shows some tiny, likely accidental correlation between some food and cancer are trying to *reduce* their stress by exercising control over what's happening, but since that control is mostly illusory, it rarely accomplishes that.

The interesting thing is that the majority of those studies seem to show a small statistical correlation between certain foods and getting cancer; there are some, but far fewer, that show a correlation between certain foods and progression once you already have cancer.

Even if it turns out to be true true that eating food X raises your risk of getting cancer Y by n%, that doesn't mean that stopping the food after you have cancer will slow or reverse it: that's an entirely separate line of research, because cancer can keep going on its own. You see that distinction ignored quite a bit.
