Supplements versus food: What the evidence says about cancer prevention

Exploring the science behind supplements and how this impacts cancer risk in practice.

In support of Cancer Prevention Action Week, the World Cancer Research Fund's webinar will unpack science fact from fiction in regard to the latest evidence on supplements and cancer prevention. It will help health professionals understand where supplements may cause harm, where evidence is lacking, and how to confidently communicate a 'food-first' approach while recognising when supplements are clinically appropriate.

Learning objectives:

• Clarify the role of supplements in cancer prevention, including risks

• Understand the evidence base behind the recommendation to avoid supplements for cancer prevention
