What to do when you’re going through traditional cancer treatments but must eat (very healthy, hopefully) in order to keep your body stocked with the tools to continue living?

Researchers want to be able and correlate an individual’s sense of taste and smell and then be able to specifically formulate a diet that works for that individual who has cancer.

A nutritional profile like this would be great for every person undergoing cancer treatments that may leave nutrition as an afterthought, and it’s something that probably should become a mainstay in every oncologist’s suggestion bag.
