In particular, some tumor patients listen to some one-sided sayings of hairy food, not only avoid eating many kinds of meat and fishy food, even many vegetables and fruits also dare not touch, almost to the point of not knowing what to eat. Medically speaking, the so-called “hairy food” is mainly related to the occurrence and development of allergic diseases or sores and toxins, and there is no evidence to prove that it is necessarily related to the recurrence and metastasis of tumor.
