The Mel Robbins Podcast · Mayo Clinic Cancer Doctor: 5 Foods That Heal the Body, Starve Cancer, & Prevent Disease · 23 Oct 2025 podcast

So I did a study at Mayo Clinic in my cancer center.

Guess what I learned?

95% of our patients aren't getting the recommended vegetables and fruits.

95, every day I come in, the majority of my patients at best are getting two to three servings of vegetables and fruits a day.

So the recommendation, there was a great study.

And what the study did is it reviewed two prospective studies, meaning studies where people were moving forward and they measured how much vegetables and fruits they consumed.

And then they reviewed additional studies in a meta-analysis.

So this is a really high quality study of another 24 to 26 studies that they reviewed, which is really awesome.

And what they showed us is that people who had two or less servings of vegetables and fruits a day versus people who had five.

Those people that had five had a 10% reduction in dying from cancer, a 12% reduction in dying from heart disease.

There was another really fun fact.

There was a 35% reduction dying from respiratory disease.

It made me scratch my head.

I was like, what does that mean?

That's what I said.

I said, what does that mean?

What does that mean?

Well, let's think about COVID.

There was some cool COVID research.

There was a study last year that showed people on more of a plant-based diet, a vegan diet, vegetarian diet, just got more plants, that they had less COVID occurring.
