define "reasonable diet" 😉 😱 - yeah, open that can of worms why doncha?
well, at the very least it'd include a nice cellar temperature red with dinner

Preliminary studies do support some of the alleged effects of turmeric:
Can turmeric prevent or treat cancer? : Cancer Research UK : CancerHelp UK
If I remember right some of the research started years ago because women of indian decent had markedly fewer cases of breast cancer than other ethnic groups here in the UK.
No need to bother with supplements either, just eat more curries. Simple. ;-)
Personally I don't take any supplements, I just make sure that I eat a balanced and varied diet and avoid 'foods' which have been extensively fiddled with like bleached flour. About once every two or three months I treat myself to some junk food like McD or KFC other than that I cook everything from scratch.
It's healthier and cheaper.

Reasonable diet:
No artificial sweetners, etc.
Mostly vegetables, grown in my garden wherever possible. Brown rice preferred over white rice.
Fish once or twice a week (usually salmon).
Shrimp once a week or so.
Beef once a month.
Pork once a month.
Junk food - Pretzils.
One soda a month. Oops, I drink Tonic Water for leg cramps. I guess it counts as soda so 2-3 L/Month.
Drink water, Milk, coffee, beer, wine, ....

Gimp - we're rather on the same page there actually - maybe when my wife retires we'll put in a greenhouse and start to grow her our veggies
except for the pretzels - I'm a stone ground organic corn tortilla chip/salsa or Miss Vickie's seasoned potato chip junkie myself
and you forgot to add gluten free Polish potato vodka to the imbibeables list
and quinoa
and ... something else, it changes every week, depending on what she reads on the internet, change is good 😉

I have nothing against commercial pizza occasionally, but find the concept of people who are "on a diet" and have "cheat days" to be a bit strange and irrational.
There are few specific foods I won't eat, but it is more of a simple choice not to eat them rather than them being 'banned'.

as my wife would say "it's not a 'diet', Chris, it's a lifestyle, and there's always time to correct yours - if you like, you could live to be a hundred"
-and spend the next 40yrs with you, what more could a guy wish for?
edit - make that "another 40yrs"

something I discouvered the other day
much better when using my own home made DIY yeast 😀
but no matter what, the yeast type makes a difference too

I thought "gluten-free" was the latest fad? My wife started that around Christmas at the suggestion of her oncologist. Our daughter-in-law has been doing it for 15 years or so due to a confirmed medical diagnosis. She warned my wife to not do it on a whim or to follow a fad, and to watch out for certain deficiencies. I don't mind it up to a point, but the gluten-free breadstuffs (such as pizza crust) range from mediocre to awful.

I'm "on the record" praising Peter Reinhart's book American Pie (LINK) for the best homemade crust recipe EVAR. His pizza sauce, however, leaves something to be desired, but crust is 80% of the pizza experience and you can find many many excellent sauce recipes in other books and online.
Me, I use King Arthur "Sir Lancelot" high gluten flour, Red Star yeast, semolina from Whole Foods, and hosewater from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir near San Francisco. The results are To. Die. For. However as you can see, my family name does not end in a vowel and perhaps that blunts my credentials.

My wife has spent years working out mixes of gluten-free flours that work well for bread and pizza. Good gluten-free bread isn't that easy to make. Her pizza dough is pretty decent by any standard. I agree that most of the commercial stuff is awful.

Well, actually it is, but when the next batch comes along, I'll make sure there's some put aside for you.🙂
