There are so many different cancer types, that stopping one kind doesn't affect the outcome of other kinds of cancer.

So, yes, some cancer types are fed on carbohydrates, and if that's what people eat, they will get those cancers.

If people have a better diet, a better kind of cancer will kill them. =)

It is very infrequent to actually die of "old age" at over 100.

And the common thing of all cancers is still they are DNA mutations.

Having said that, yes, people should avoid a carbohydrate heavy diet, not only because it helps against common cancers, but because metabolic disease is just getting sick without any unavoidable reason.
