Leukoplakia Diet
Some, but not all, preliminary studies find that people who drink alcohol are more likely to have leukoplakia compared with nondrinkers. Even though it has not been proven that abstaining from alcohol aids in the healing of leukoplakia, people with this condition should, nonetheless, reduce their intake.
Preliminary reports have found that low dietary levels of vitamin C and fiber, vitamin A, or, according to one study, many different nutrients, are associated with an increased risk of leukoplakia. Except for vitamin A (see below), the effect of increasing intake of these nutrients in people with leukoplakia has not been studied.
Rare reports of leukoplakia triggered by food allergies have appeared. People with leukoplakia should discuss the issue of food allergies with a healthcare professional.
