Nutrition: myths, beliefs, best diet for cancer prevention

Is there really a “best diet” for cancer prevention? Nutrition is an important part of cancer treatment. Eating the right foods before, during and after treatment can help you feel better and stay stronger. This lecture provides information about current nutritional guidelines for the person with cancer and dispels some of the myths.

Hi. I'm a Stanford grad, English Lit '85.
I often wonder if the diet I've followed for about 15 years might alleviate cancer. It is about 92% fluid dairy products--cream; half-and-half; and whole, 2%, 1%, and nonfat milk. (All these are cow products, as opposed to vegan.) My impression is that when the nutrients from these fluid dairy products reach the body cells via the blood, they are more broken up than the nutrients from solid food, and hence clog the cells less, so the cells work better.
In my case, the diet helps with a pesky eye problem, where when I eat solid food, my vision blurs and eyes hurt, but for the reasons in the prior paragraph, my eyes feel and work better on my 92% cream/milk diet.
For this reason, the nutrients being more broken up from cream and milk than from solid food, I think my diet might alleviate many diseases.
Another diet component of alleviating cancer, I'm guessing, is weight loss. I think, although not sure, that my diet might help weight loss. For one, milk and cream are delicious, but they largely fill you up with zero-calorie water, so you feel quite full and satisfied without ingesting too many calories. Also, since the crream/milk nutrients don't clog the mind as much as solid food nutrients, one can think more clearly, which is a help in controlling appetite/food consumption.
But I'm not sure. When I was eating mostly solid food before the last 15 years, I had no orientation to weight loss. It's only in the last 15 years, while on the 92% milk/cream diet, that I've become oriented to losing weight, and I've learned lots of techniques to keeping my weight down. It's possible that the techniques would work well with mostly solid food, and I could keep my weight down as well with mostly solid food as with my diet. But I really don't want to try because I'm very happy with the 92% cream/milk diet. So I'm not sure if my diet is superior for weight loss and control.
However, I am sure that the first benefit I mentioned, that the nutrients from cream and milk are more broken up than the solid food ones and hence the cells work better on the 92% cream/milk diet than a mostly solid food diet, is quite true and accurate.
I know in the talk you disparaged a diet with a lot of dairy products, but my experience has been that it is superior.
There are some more aspects to my diet, so reply if you are interested.

Great topic; terrible speaker. Can't listen to all those 'um's' and 'you know, s'.

Annoying, Bla Bla Bla, I don't have the time to become a dietitian; I just want to know how to eat healthy.
