Two days ago when my boomer mother in law tried to justify her anti-cancer diet that killed Steve Jobs. On the bright side my partner will be inheriting soon by the looks of it.

Not defending your mother-in-law here (because I agree with you that it is a pretty silly and maybe even potentially harmful diet), afaik it wasn’t the diet itself that killed Steve Jobs. It was his decision to do that diet instead of doing actual cancer treatment until it was too late.
Given that I've got two people telling me here "ackshually" I guess it may not be hallucinations and just really terrible training data.

Not really, because no matter how you spin it, the person in your scenario dies.
However, doing Steve Jobs’ diet might actually be fine (or at least not deadly) for an average person. Only as long as they don’t have late-stage pancreatic cancer and don’t decide to forego chemotherapy treatment.
Which is what killed Jobs, not the diet. For all we know, he might’ve been alive today even if he followed the same diet, as long as he also did the chemo treatment.
Job's diet didn't kill him. Not getting his cancer treated was what killed him.

The anti cancer diet absolutely works if you want to reduce the odds of getting cancer. It probably even works to slow cancer compared to the average American diet. Will it stop and reverse a cancer? Probably not.
I thought it was high fiber diets that reduce risk of cancer (ever so slightly), because of reduced inflammation. Not fruity diets, which are high in carbohydrates.
Cutting red or preserved meat cuts bowel cancer risk so fruity diets would cut that risk.
How much does it 'reduce the odds'?
Idk, I'm not an encyclopedia. You can Google it.
