Unproven methods of cancer managememt: macrobiotic diets

After careful study of the literature and other information available to it, the American Cancer Society has found no evidence that treatment with macrobiotic diets results in objective benefit in the treatment of cancer in human beings. Lacking such evidence, the American Cancer Society would strongly urge individuals afflicted with cancer not to participate in treatment with macrobiotic diets. In addition, the more restrictive macrobiotic diets pose a serious hazard to health.
