I don't have the time to watch that video, therefore I'll believe your summary. What I know from my brother told me (he is a doctor), you can't 100% prevent cancer because there are too many factors but there are some common denominators:
1. Food (the less processed the better).
2. Obesity, he said at a certain point the body itself is constantly inflammated. Local inflammation is one of the main reasons for cancer cells to be born. The worst part seems to subconscious belly fat.
3. You need some kind of sports or movement to make the body get rid of excessive tissue. Cardiovascular activity seems to be the best fit. Again, overweight immobile people tend to carry more of that useless tissue which can develop into cancer.
4. Genetical component, if you're unlucky you could get cancer while being healthy, fit and eating proper meals.
1-3 are directly related to sugar consumption. Processed food has always got sugar. Obese people keep themselves obese by dinking liquids with huge amounts of sugar (eating and digesting that amount of calories per day isn't as easy as drinking). And about 3, you can never outrun unhealthy diet. So basically, the only thing you can really control has got a lot to do with overall sugar consumption which you can and should reduce as much as possible.
The big issue is that cancer isn't one disease. Some cancers can be helped along by excess consumption of sugar but most don't care. Some colon cancers have certain preservatives as a risk factor but most don't care. Some cancers have a lessened risk either diet and exercise but not all of them.
The real issue is this guy pretending to be a doctor and pretending that taking sugar out of your diet is a sure way to cure cancer and yadda yadda.
Over Simplification to the degree he is doing is harmful. Cancer is complicated and that shouldn't be hidden from the public.
