The food we eat seems to play a role in the spread of cancer. In research with mice it has been found that breast cancer seems to need a particular amino acid, called asparagine, in order to spread. Asparagine is contained in asparagus, poultry, and seafood, for instance. This may mean that a particular diet low in asparagine may help to prevent the risk of the tumour spreading.
