Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne explores a perspective rarely discussed in the cancer community: the desire some individuals have to keep their cancer journey completely private. After three decades of openly living with Stage IV cancer, Saranne shares a powerful encounter with a woman at a recent support event who prefers not to talk about her cancer at all—not with friends, family, or even herself. Saranne reflects on this “drive by” approach to cancer, comparing it to simply getting through treatment quickly and moving on without discussion. In this episode, Saranne challenges the prevailing focus on open dialogue and support groups, and asks listeners to consider the validity and importance of every person's unique way of processing cancer.Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries on 7 continents and has over 365 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg!

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne is joined by Jacqui Bryan to unpack an often-overlooked saboteur of healthy eating: store-bought salad dressings. While many focus on "eating the rainbow" and maximizing their intake of vibrant vegetables, Jacqui points out how hidden additives, sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives in commercial dressings can undermine even the most nutritious meal—particularly for those seeking a food-first approach to cancer recovery and vitality. Together, they explore the impact of these “gunky” ingredients, the importance of reading food labels, and the empowering choice to craft simple, health-enhancing dressings at home, complete with practical recipes and tips. Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. Renowned for her expertise in functional medicine and personalized wellness, Jacqui brings a depth of experience helping clients make informed, food-based choices. As a cancer survivor herself, she advocates passionately for using nutrition as a tool for healing, resilience, and long-term health. “We focus so much on eating the rainbow, eating the healthy foods, that we really need to pay attention to what we are actually putting on the food. Because if we don't, we are potentially hurting our health.” ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:· Store-bought salad dressings often contain hidden sugars, sodium, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and even additives like titanium dioxide and artificial dyes, which can undermine the health benefits of salads.· Creamy dressings are not always healthier than oily ones; both may contain problematic ingredients depending on preparation.· Being an "informed consumer" means looking past marketing terms like "natural" and checking ingredient lists for unrecognizable or non-food items.· Organic dressings typically avoid synthetic additives and dyes but may still include sugar; always read the full label.· Homemade dressings provide control over ingredients—healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, tahini, and flavor boosters like citrus, herbs, and spices can make salad both delicious and nutrient-rich.· Sodium content in dressings can be surprisingly high; those sensitive to salt or with high blood pressure should pay particular attention.· Simple homemade dressings, such as olive oil with lemon or a basic vinaigrette, are easy to make and store in glass containers.

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes functional medicine expert Jacqui Bryan for an honest discussion about the much-hyped apricot seed and its supposed cancer-fighting properties. Sparked by Saranne's experience of eating one apricot seed daily—a practice recommended by her local health food store—the conversation raises urgent questions about nutritional safety, toxic risks, and the science behind amygdalin (often marketed as vitamin B17) found in apricot seeds. Jacqui meticulously reviews the difference between bitter and sweet apricot seeds, explores their historical use in cancer treatments, and highlights the real dangers of cyanide poisoning, all while emphasizing the importance of evidence-based guidance for those touched by cancer. Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. With extensive training in functional medicine, Jacqui is dedicated to helping cancer survivors, patients, and their loved ones navigate the complex world of food and holistic health. Her commitment to science-backed, individualized care makes her a trusted expert for those seeking informed choices on their cancer journey. “If something sounds too good to be true, it is. So I want to explore and dig a little bit deeper.” ~ Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:· Eating apricot seeds in excess poses a significant risk of cyanide poisoning, which can be fatal· Bitter apricot seeds contain higher amounts of amygdalin than sweet apricot seeds and pose a greater risk· Amygdalin, marketed as vitamin B17, is not an FDA-regulated substance and can vary in potency and toxicity· There are documented historical uses of amygdalin and Laetrile in cancer treatment, but these were largely abandoned due to toxicity.· Cancer patients in active treatment may be more vulnerable to the toxic effects of amygdalin due to compromised organ systems.· Consuming apricot seeds should only be considered after consulting with a healthcare provider, especially in conjunction with other medications and supplements.· Common side effects of cyanide poisoning include nausea, vomiting, confusion, weakness, and muscle aches—symptoms that may overlap with chemotherapy side effects.· Whole apricots (the fruit) offer notable health benefits, such as antioxidants and support for digestion and skin health, without the risks associated with seeds.
