This doesn't seem very accurate and if it was it is not exclusive to a vegan diet…..Meat eaters and vegetarians also eat vegetables and fruit so they are also potentially eating pesticides and chemicals as you put it. To label that a vegan issue is irresponsible. You could add the idea meat eaters should avoid eating meat from animals that have received certain drugs and antibiotics before appearing on your plate. Then you can get into the produce the animals feed on and have they had pesticides added to them which are in turn are passed onto the consumer. So a vegan diet is not harmful especially for the reason you highlight.

However, being a vegan would not have prevented your father's condition nor will it change the prognosis he currently has.  I wish it would but it won't. 

I understand that. Thanks for the reply Celeste and for your well wishes, I hope the same for you and your family 🙂

While I understand it won't change what has already happened I also believe that certain foods can promote cancer. I believe a vegan diet is one that is less likely to do that. For that reason it would be a better diet to continue with rather than a diet that is known to cause various forms of cancer.

It may not be a cure but if it doesn't aid and abet cancer that's also a big deal 🙂
