I was going to add Dr Champ's excellent new article, If Society was a Patient https://colinchamp.com/if-society-was-a-patient/
but Gary Taubes' Sub Stack article needs to take precedent.
Life Lessons from the Recently Departed?
A short discourse on the limits of evidence

The "chance" aspect is what makes cancer and other diseases so scary and open to wild speculation (it's the saturated fat!, sugar, fructose, PUFAs, GKI ratio, or any other one solution!). Any doctor who proposes that they have a diet that prevents cancer, or not eating sugar will reverse cancer, needs to read this.
To Dr Champ, simply following a low carb or low fat diet without also considering nutrients and exercise and maintaining a healthy weight, is not an optimal lifestyle. I met him once as a patient, he was part of my process to focus on getting more nutrients and maintaining a healthy BMI.

I would advise her to respect her body, treat it as a gift, and take the utmost care of it. I would tell her to treat her body like a fine statue carved from Carrara marble by Michelangelo, and consume those vitamin- and nutrient-dense foods that optimally fuel it while keeping off excessive and unwanted amounts of adipose tissue. And while I am at it, I would tell her to follow Michelangelo’s no-nonsense personality when it comes to this aspect of her health, as it is non-negotiable.
