Eating meat and ignoring tomatoes is shown to have a dramatic effect on cancer incidence
by John Phillip
(NaturalNews) If you were to ask the vast majority of young and middle-aged adults if the type of foods they regularly consume had any effect on their risk of developing a host of different forms of cancer, most would indicate a passive ignorance, as they blindly believe that risk is predetermined by their genetic makeup and they can do little (short of smoking cessation) to avoid the number two killer of men and women in the US. Long ago, scientists determined that statistical significance of developing cancer based solely on genetic inheritance was at less than one-half of 1 percent. Our lifestyle choices made over the course of years and decades control genetic expression and disease development and progression.
Two independent research bodies both provide firm evidence that the foods we consume directly impact our risk for developing cancer and can significantly lower cancer incidence. An international study published in the journal Nutrition explains that certain lifestyle factors, specifically smoking and eating diets high in animal products, have the strongest association with cancer rates. Investigators looked at cancer rates for 21 different forms of the disease from 157 different countries and statistically compared these rates with indices for risk-modifying factors.
Junk food consumption is the second leading preventable cause of many types of cancer
The scientists performing this analysis determined that more than half of the cancer incidence rates were explained by smoking and animal product indices. Additionally, alcoholic beverage consumption explained a smaller, yet still significant number of new cancer cases. While smoking is the leading preventable cause of cancer, the team found that animal products had the strongest correlation among certain cancers, including breast, kidney, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, testicular and thyroid cancer.
A study group from Rutgers University has published the results of their work in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism that demonstrates how adopting a diet rich in tomatoes may reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in at-risk groups of postmenopausal women. Women in the US have a 12.4 percent risk of developing breast cancer at some point in their lives. This risk increases with age, with women over the age of 50 having a 1 in 42 chance of developing the disease. Researchers found that, when women followed a tomato-rich diet for 10 weeks, they showed a 9 percent increase in their levels of adiponectin.
Adiponectin is a hormone that plays a part in the regulation of fat and blood sugar levels and significantly lowers the risk for breast cancer incidence. The study authors concluded, "Eating fruits and vegetables, which are rich in essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals such as lycopene, conveys significant benefits. Based on this data, we believe regular consumption of at least the daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables would promote breast cancer prevention in an at-risk population." In addition to eliminating smoking as a fully accepted direct cause of cancer, adding a colorful variety of vegetables and fruits, especially lycopene-rich tomatoes, can impact gene expression to help prevent many forms of cancer.

Looking to beat cancer? Just exercise more, scientists discover
by David Gutierrez, staff writer
(NaturalNews) A more active lifestyle doesn't just reduce your risk of cancer and improve survival rates among cancer patients: a new study conducted by researchers from Loyola University and published in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health shows that exercise also halves the risk of death among cancer survivors.
Better diagnoses and treatments for cancer mean that survivors are living longer than ever before, said study co-author Kathleen Wolin. This makes the study's findings particularly relevant.
"Physical activity should be actively promoted to such individuals to enhance longevity," Wolin said.
"Much less likely to die"
The study was conducted using data from Harvard's Alumni Health Study, which collected health information on men who attended Harvard between the years of 1916 and 1950. In 1988, 1,021 cancer survivors completed detailed questionnaires about their exercise habits, including sports, going for walks and even climbing stairs. The men updated this information in 1993.
All participants were over the age of 71 at the study's start and had previously been diagnosed with a form of cancer other than non-melanoma skin cancer.
The researchers found that men who exercised enough to burn more than 12,600 calories per week (an average of 1,800 per day) were 48 percent less likely to die from any cause than men who burned less than 2,100 calories per week (an average of 300 per day). They were also 38 percent less likely to die from another case of cancer and 49 percent less likely to die from cardiovascular disease.
A 176-pound man who followed health guidelines to take a brisk, 30-minute walk five days per week would burn 4,200 calories from exercise in that week.
Exercise is for everyone
Although the new study is the first to show that exercise extends the lifespan of cancer survivors, it is only the latest in a long line of studies showing the benefits of exercise in improving health, including fighting cancer.
For example, a 2010 study concluded that 3.4 percent of breast cancer cases, 3.8 percent of endometrial cancer cases and 5.3 percent of colon cancer cases could be prevented if people met the recommendation to exercise at least 30 minutes per day, five days per week. This adds up to 3,000 cancers per year that could be prevented by exercise in the United Kingdom alone.
"We know exercise can help reduce the chance of getting cancer in the first place," said Martin Ledwick, of Cancer Research UK.
"Previous studies have [also] suggested exercise can help some people feel better after being diagnosed and cope better with fatigue related to cancer and its treatment."
Studies have shown that breast cancer survivors with lower body weights are significantly less likely to suffer cancer recurrence, while prostate cancer patients who get at least three hours of vigorous exercise per week have significantly higher survival rates.
"It's absolutely true that exercise is shown to be helpful in most cancer cases," said Anne Elliot of Middlesex University. "It also helps hugely with arthritis and circulatory diseases. We know that if you do exercise you are improving your respiratory and immune systems and they are linked to lifespan."
Apart from promoting general health, exercise appears to fight cancer through several different mechanisms. It helps repair the immune system's T-cells, which fight tumors and are also important in aiding chemotherapy recovery. It lowers blood levels of insulin, which has been linked to breast cancer, and of sex hormones that have been linked to cancers of the breast, prostate and uterine lining. It also reduces obesity, which has been linked to many cancers.

Exercise helps to prevent cancer, fight it, and ward off relapse: studies
by Reuben Chow
(NaturalNews) Separate recent studies have underlined the importance of exercise and physical activity in fighting cancer. Importantly, the research showed that exercise not only helps with cancer prevention, it also helps with improving the prognosis of those already diagnosed with cancer, as well as with boosting the life expectancy of cancer survivors who had previously beaten the disease.
Prevention
Firstly, exercise is useful in helping to ward off cancer. Numerous studies have proven this.
For example, a recent large study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention had looked at 73,615 postmenopausal women for 17 years and found that different degrees of physical activity lowered breast cancer risk by varying amounts.
The women who took part in the highest levels of physical activity were 25 percent less likely to develop breast cancer as compared to those with the lowest levels of physical activity. This finding was quite consistent with previous studies.
Significantly, even the women who walked an average of at least seven hours per week had 14 percent lower breast cancer risk than women who only walked three hours or fewer each week. This was after factors such as BMI and hormone use were accounted for. Walking an hour a day should not be too difficult for most people.
Also notable was that the women with the highest levels of physical activity generally took part in moderate intensity exercises such as walking, aerobics, dancing and cycling. Since moderate exercise was more effective than just walking, it is probable that higher intensity exercises such as running, tennis and swimming could further lower cancer risk.
Cancer sufferers
Previous research had shown that prostate cancer sufferers who engaged in physical activity were less likely to die of the condition and to suffer relapses as compared to men who did not exercise.
Another recent study validated this finding by suggesting that men who walked at a fast pace had prostate cancer tumors which had bigger and more regularly shaped blood vessels as compared to those who walked at a slower pace - and this, as shown in previous research, meant that the tumors were less aggressive and more responsive to treatments. The study had looked at 572 prostate cancer sufferers who took part in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.
The study's findings suggested that exercise as basic as brisk walking could boost the survival rates of prostate cancer sufferers.
Relapse
Previous research had revealed that the most physically active cancer survivors had a 38 percent lower chance of dying from cancer and a 48 percent lower chance of dying from cardiovascular conditions.
And researchers from the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine recently validated those findings when they looked at 1,021 men who were part of the Harvard's Alumni Health Study. The study team found that cancer survivors who used more than 12,600 calories per week through exercise had better life expectancy as compared to those who hardly exercised and only used less than 2,100 calories each week. After adjustments for age, early parental death, smoking and weight, the likelihood of dying of any cause was reduced by a very significant 48 percent.
"Physical activity should be actively promoted to such individuals to enhance longevity," said Dr Kathlee Wolin, a co-author of the study.
Conclusion
Put together, such studies show that regular exercise not only improves the life expectancy of healthy people and helps prevent cancer, it also boosts the lifespan of those with cancer as well as those who had previously survived cancer. Although some studies only focused on specific cancers, it is reasonable to infer that the benefits of exercise would apply to most types.

Truth And Lies About Cancer
by Jay Ricci
(NaturalNews) Cancer...the dreaded C word is probably the scariest word in our vocabulary because the very mention of it has struck fear into the hearts of so many people. According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the second leading cause of death in this country. Why such staggering statistics? Why do some people get cancer and others don't? Why do some heal and others don't?
Deficiency and toxicity
In order to find the answers regarding this cancer Goliath we have to understand where physical illnesses originate. You see the human body is made up of trillions of tiny microscopic cells. Two reasons why the cells in our body get corrupted and malfunction are deficiency and toxicity. Our cells malfunction and create a breeding ground for physical problems when they are not getting enough of what they need to function properly (i.e. nutritional deficiency) and are being exposed to toxins which can corrupt their originally designed function (i.e. toxicity).
Cancer's origin
So what exactly is cancer? Cancer is not just the tumor or lump as that may only be the symptom of the cancer, which is why people can get the lump removed only to have the same lump or another appear later. In truth, cancer is the result of malfunctioning cells which is largely due to internal deficiency and external toxicity. Cancer is not the result of a lack of fundraisers, drugs, surgery, radiation, synthetic (fake) over-the-counter vitamins or "good luck". Because cancer is big busine$$ there are many groups that have a vested interest in making sure that people believe the lie that if they just donate a little more, walk a little longer, or try the newest drug on the market, the problem of cancer will be solved. Only those who are sincerely deceived or desiring to put profit before people's welfare would perpetuate these cancer myths. The politics and myths about cancer propagated in the media by "Big Pharma" and the medical establishment is causing people more harm than the disease itself.
Now, there are many sincere doctors who know and speak the truth but by and large the medical establishment seems to be only interested in drugs, surgery, and radiation because these maintain the disease by only addressing the symptoms not the cause. Trying to solve toxicity in the body by putting more toxicity in the body (in the form of drugs, etc.) is not the solution.
In truth, disease results when our cells malfunction due to nutritional deficiency and toxicity not from a lack of new drugs, radiation or surgery. The following story illustrates this well.
Back in the 1970s Dr. George Malkmus, former pastor and founder of Hallelujah Acres was diagnosed with colon cancer, the same disease that his mother had. After doing some research he was convinced that his mother died not from the cancer itself, but from the medical establishment's way of treating the cancer. Instead of going the conventional medicine route George decided to supply his body with raw pure vegetable juice along with the raw foods mentioned in Genesis 1:29 in the Holy Bible. Within a year the colon cancer was completely gone and he has not had it or any other physical illness since and he still consumes those foods today.
The human body was originally designed by God with the ability to self heal. However the dead, processed foods many people eat daily (which are high in toxins and low in nutrients), not only hinder the body's self healing properties, but also create the environment where toxicity diseases like cancer arise.

Wife of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Mayor Says Locally Grown Organic Foods, Green Vegetables and Juices Were Key To Her Cancer Recovery
by Raw Michelle
(NaturalNews) When Michelle Prince, the wife of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Mayor Eddie Francis, was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, she was shocked (1). She was a health-conscious, high-spirited, 42-year-old woman who was poised to run the Detroit half-marathon. Such devastating health problems were not supposed to happen to her.
She had been experiencing some pain in her groin yet chalked it up to running injuries that she thought might be helped with over-the-counter pain pills. But when the pain became so unbearable that she not only had to back out of the Detroit marathon but was hardly able to sleep at night, curled in a fetal position in severe pain, she sought medical attention.
Flash forward to her colonoscopy results (yes, she was ordered one although she was only 42): a nearly 6-inch portion of her colon had to be removed due to the finding of a cancerous tumor.
The power of vegetables to help combat colon cancer
These days, she's doing well with her chemotherapy sessions, attributing healthy, locally grown organic foods to why she's been healing so well. "If there's one thing you could do, it's food and diet," Prince said. "[M]ove to a more plant-based diet, and try juicing. People can do so much, heal so much, through food (1)." She should know about the importance of eating in such a manner. After all, she owns Lifetime Wellness Center and is an alternative-health professional who advocates and enjoys exercise and making healthy foods choices.
She says that she chooses to eat a wide range of green vegetables and enjoys juice mixtures, all of which help her detox her body, which is especially important after her chemotherapy sessions.
Studies support the fact that vegetables play a role in fighting cancer, specifically colon cancer. Researchers have found there to be a link between consumption of foods like cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts and a reduction of colon cancer (2). According to a list of the world's healthiest foods on the George Mateljan Foundation website, Brussel's sprouts "provide special nutrient support for three body systems that are closely connected with cancer development as well as cancer prevention. These three systems are the body's detox system, its antioxidant system, and its inflammatory/anti-inflammatory system." (3)
Dark yellow vegetables and apples were also shown to fight cancer in other areas throughout the colon, demonstrating what many people already know: that eating a variety of vegetables and fruits is healthy and can play a role in combating illness and disease.
And Prince, who is faring very well for herself while also helping others deal with news of a cancer diagnosis, is testimony if ever there was.

What You Eat Changes Gene Expression For Colorectal Cancer
by David Gutierrez, staff writer
(NaturalNews) One in three people carries a genetic variant that makes them especially sensitive to increased colorectal cancer risk from processed meat consumption, according to a study conducted by researchers from 27 different institutions and published in the journal PLOS Genetics on April 17.
"Our results identify a novel gene-diet interaction with processed meat for colorectal cancer, highlighting that diet may modify the effect of genetic variants on disease risk, which may have important implications for prevention," the researchers wrote.
Dangers of red and processed meat
Colorectal cancer is the third-most common tumor type and the third-leading cause of cancer death in both men and women of most ethnic backgrounds. It has been linked to both genetic and dietary factors; genome-wide surveys have identified approximately 30 separate gene variants associated with colorectal cancer risk, while consumption of red and processed meat has been linked to increased risk, and consumption of fruits, vegetables and fiber has been linked to decreased risk.
For example, a 2008 study by the National Cancer Institute found that people who ate the most red meat had a 25 percent higher risk of colorectal cancer than people who ate the least. The researchers found that one in 10 colorectal cancer cases could be prevented just by reducing meat intake.
Little research has been conducted, however, into the interaction between these risk factors.
"The possibility that genetic variants may modify an individual's risk for disease based on diet has not been thoroughly investigated but represents an important new insight into disease development," researcher Dr. Li Hsu said.
The researchers compared dietary information, cancer status and roughly 2.7 million genetic variants in more than 18,000 people who had taken part in 10 separate studies later pooled together into the Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO) and Colorectal Cancer Family Registry. Approximately half the participants had colorectal cancer, and the other half did not.
One in three vulnerable
In all participants, greater red and processed meat intake was associated with increased colorectal cancer risk, while fruit, vegetable and fiber intake was correlated with a lower risk. The researchers further found that individuals with the gene variants rs4143094-TG and rs4143094-TT experience an even greater risk associated with processed meat consumption, compared to those with the rs4143094-GG variant.
This particular gene is notable because it occurs in a place on the genome near a gene known as GATA3, which codes for a transcription factor that plays a role in immune function. Prior studies have linked GATA3 to various types of cancer.
About a third of the population carries the genetic variants found to be associated with greater risk from processed meat consumption
"Our results, if replicated by other studies, may provide us with a greater understanding of the biology into colorectal carcinogenesis," researcher Dr. Ulrike Peters of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Public Health Sciences Division said.
Although the study was not set up to explain the connections between processed meat, the gene in question and colorectal cancer, the researchers speculated that, in people with certain gene variants, processed meat might trigger an immune and inflammatory response that promotes tumor formation.
Researchers hope that further investigation into the connection between dietary and genetic cancer risk could lead to more personalized cancer prevention care.
"Diet is a modifiable risk factor for colorectal cancer," researcher Dr. Jane Figueiredo said. "Our study is the first to understand whether some individuals are at higher or lower risk based on their genomic profile. This information can help us better understand the biology and maybe in the future lead to targeted prevention strategies."

Diet Changes That May Help Reduce Cancer Risk
by Sandeep Godiyal
(NaturalNews) With the incidences of cancer seeming to rise frequently according to the media outlets, many people wonder if there is anything they can do in order to significantly reduce that risk. While a diagnosis of cancer can be a devastating blow, there are some steps that people can take to reduce their risk of getting a number of different types of cancer. One of the things that an individual has the most control over is the diet that is consumed. By making some dietary changes, it is possible to lower the risk of getting cancer.
Increase fiber
There is a reason why so many health experts espouse a diet that is high in fiber. Repeated studies have shown that there is a strong relationship between a high-fiber diet and a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Fiber helps move those potentially toxic compounds through the intestinal walls faster as well as bindS them together so that they are kept away from the intestinal walls. This is even true for those people who are at high risk for colon cancer. A study showed that, when those people ate a high-fiber diet of no less than 13 grams of wheat bran fiber each day, less growth was noted in those cells that were potentially cancerous.
Increase consumption of raw fruits and vegetables
Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables is not just a good idea to keep sugar cravings to a minimum and help keep weight manageable. Along the same vein, eating an abundance of fruits and vegetables helps an individual reduce their craving for fatty foods, a notorious component of the diet that can increase the risk of cancer. In addition, fruits and vegetables are high in phytochemicals. These phytochemicals are natural compounds that can help the body fight off cancer and lower risk. Those vegetables that are cruciferous, such as cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, kale and mustard greens, are considered cancer-fighting powerhouses, because they contain three powerful phytochemcals.
Make the switch from an animal-based diet
Studies that have looked at the diets of vegetarians, as well as Seventh Day Adventists, have found that these groups tend to have a much lower risk of developing cancer. Some researchers believe that the skyrocketing rates of cancer during modern times is directly correlated to the switch humans made from a primarily plant-based diet to one that focuses on animal products. Indeed, plants have a three-prong advantage over animal products. They contain phytochemicals, as well as more fiber than animal products. In addition, plants contain a great deal less fat than animal products.
By making a few changes to eat in a healthier fashion, individuals can greatly decrease their risk of being diagnosed with cancer. Following these dietary changes over the course of a lifetime can help them remain cancer-free.

Man Heals Stage 3 Prostate And Colon Cancers With Raw Food Diet
by Raw Michelle
(NaturalNews) Joshua Strayer was once told by seven different specialists that he had stage 3 colon and prostate cancer and that surgical treatment was necessary.(1) Without it, they told the newlywed that his wife might end up a widow in just six short months, a comment that both angered 330-pound Strayer yet propelled him to set out on a healthier path. After hearing the news, he and his wife engaged in research about adopting a healthier lifestyle.
Today, he's healed himself from cancer, saying that his doctors were so amazed that not only did they check and re-check his blood several times, but now actually claim to have made mistake in their diagnosis. Furthermore, he's also 140 pounds lighter, now weighing about 190 pounds.
The dietary changes that healed stage 3 cancer
"I'm almost literally half the individual I was before but exponentially more spiritually and every which way," he tells The Raw Food World CEO Matt Monarch in an interview detailing the journey that helped him develop a healthy relationship with food.(1) He explains that it's a relationship that leaves him feeling fulfilled, not deprived, because so many healthy and tasty options exist.
So, what did he do?
Rather than get involved with the doctor-recommended surgeries and other cancer treatment options, Strayer explains that he cleansed his body with herbal remedies, eliminated processed foods in favor of eating whole foods and that initially, he stayed away from the vibes of negative people.(1)
Today, he enjoys a raw vegan lifestyle, something that he easily transitioned to after a few months on a vegetarian diet. He also cut his salt intake in half and stopped drinking sodas. Strayer says he hasn't looked back. It's a focus that Monarch fully embraces, saying that in order to heal from degenerative diseases and improve overall health, the "key is to eliminate processed foods."(1)
Key foods that help heal cancer
Top foods that have been shown to help heal cancers like prostate include green tea, broccoli and tomato, turmeric, pomegranate, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.(2) In fact, eating a combination of tomato and broccoli has been shown to have a "synergistic effect" in reducing prostate tumor growth by an impressive 52 percent.(2)
The American Cancer Society notes that lack of exercise, being overweight and eating a diet high in red and processed meats can lead to a higher risk of colon cancer.(3) As for prostate cancer, the American Cancer Society mentions that men who eat dairy and fewer amounts of fruits and vegetables tend to have more of a risk than those who eat otherwise.(4)
"If you believe it and commit to it," says Strayer, "you will become healthy and you will heal yourself from anything possible."(1)

Sun Exposure Cuts The Risk Of Certain Cancers In Half
by L.J. Devon, Staff Writer
(NaturalNews) It's an absolute miracle, an alliance of divine life, how the Earth is positioned, so delicately in relation to the sun. Two stellar bodies communicating with such intricacy and harmony in space and time, one sphere rotating in seasonal rhythm, the other projecting flares of brilliant heat and light.
Every living thing -- from dragonflies to orangutans, from dandelions to oak trees, from mushrooms to humans -- peers beyond their plot on the sphere of Earth, looking up through the atmosphere to absorb the ever-powerful rays of the flaming sun.
In the industrialized world, many men and women have fled to the shade, working under roofs day in and day out. Naturally, the skin craves the sun's light; it yearns for its immune-system-stimulating vitamin D, but humans today often go for long periods without absorbing these powerful rays. Spending a little time basking in this great energy source creates a disconnection between humans and their health, between humans and their energy fields.
Do you see the sun as cancer-causing or cancer-preventing?
We are less acclimated to the natural heat and light of the sun. We are less at one with this life-giving power. Our skin can easily lack vital antioxidants, too. The sun's rays are not always used effectively anymore, especially when the skin and body are not properly acclimated to absorb the sun's energy. The sun may burn, may cause skin to peel, creating fear of sun and fear of skin cancer.
But the majestic energy source we call the sun may not be to blame, even though some medical authorities have suggested that it is the evil behind many skin cancer cases today.
According to studies conducted by Professor Rachel Neale from the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia, cancer risk can actually be slashed significantly, in HALF, when people are exposed to more time in the sun. In her studies, she found out that those who lived in areas receiving higher levels of UV rays had a 30 to 40 percent lower chance of being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Some epidemiology studies showed how excess sun exposure can cut the risk of certain cancers by 50 percent.
"We certainly are not hand on heart saying this is definitely true, in these types of epidemiological studies we are always very cautious about saying something is casual, but we do see an association between UV exposure and some cancers," she said.
30 minutes of sun a day can be the powerful medicine that keeps the doctor away
To back up her study, Professor Neale is recruiting 25,000 Australians over 60 to participate in a study examining how vitamin D reduces esophageal, ovarian and pancreatic cancers. The five-year study will also investigate the difference between vitamin D pills and vitamin D obtained straight from the sun. From her experience, Professor Neale believes that everyone should be getting sun exposure every day. "Even if it's only for 2-3 minutes each day, it will be enough to get that source of vitamin D," Professor Neale said.
The Cancer Council proposes that everyone obtain at least 30 minutes of sun exposure in the middle of each day, to keep the doctor away.
"Exposing more skin in a short period of time is better than less skin in the long run. Go outside and lift your shirt or pants up -- show your tummy and legs." This is especially important for naturally dark-skinned people, expecting mothers or those who work indoors. Additionally, children can develop rickets when they don't have enough vitamin D circulating in their blood. This causes soft bones in adulthood.
The sun is basically the freest of all medicines, available to all. Utilizing this energy and harnessing its timeless power ultimately increases levels of circulating vitamin D, empowering the immune system, which is ultimately the vessel that cures a body's cancerous state.

5 Colorful Foods That Help Lower Cancer
by Sandeep Godiyal
(NaturalNews) An increasing number of studies are showing links between healthy eating habits and the prevention of certain forms of cancer. Moreover, research has found that colorful fresh foods which tend to be high in immune-boosting phytochemicals, are particularly adept at this. Below is a discussion of the different dietary changes that can be made to make sure these phytochemicals are part of the daily diet.
Red foods
Perhaps the best-known of red foods, tomatoes, have been linked to decreased risk of cancer of the ovaries. In a study of some 15,000 women, it was found that eating just a half-cup of tomatoes at least four times a week can lower the chances of developing tumors on the ovaries by a whopping 50%. Consumption of tomatoes was connected in another study to fighting pancreatic malignancy as well. It is thought that this is due to its lycopene, which is also found in red peppers and red berries.
Orange foods
The phytochemicals which lend orange vegetables like squash and carrots their color have been proven to be effective in treating malignancy in the digestive tract. Caffeic acid, found in high quantities in yams, has been proven to slow the development of malignant cells in the breast. Orange fruits and vegetables should be eaten around three times a week.
Yellow foods
Citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, lemons, tangerines and papayas, are excellent means to help ward off tumor formation through the diet. This is because these foods are all high in Vitamin C which has been shown to be extremely effective at fighting digestive cancers, such as those of the mouth, throat and colon. Apart from Vitamin C, they are also high in phyto-compounds that slow the development of tumors and promote overall healing through detoxification.
Green foods
Research has linked the consumption of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy and endive, to a lower risk of several cancers, including those of the ovaries, stomach and colon. Scientists believe that this is likely due to the fact that these green foods are an excellent source of glucosinolates, which chemicals with anti-cancer properties and Vitamin K, which is particularly effective in reducing the risk of pancreatic malignancies. Try to include them in the diet at least once a day.
White foods
While color-rich fruits and vegetables can ward off cancer, there are many white or pale-colored ones that have that ability, too. They include mushrooms as well as members of the allium family like garlic and onions. Both mushrooms and alliums have been linked to lower rates of digestive cancer. The allium family is high in a chemical called allicin, which is a powerful antioxidant. Onions also contain phytochemicals linked to reduce risk of colon cancer. Mushrooms are a good source of Vitamin D that can lower development of malginancy in the ovaries. Add them to the diet twice a day if possible for maximum effect.
These colorful fruits and vegetables will not only lend interest and flavor to the diet, but also help reduce the risk of developing tumors or to help combat it if it does become established. These foods are also easy to work into a diet in soups, salads, casseroles or fruit-based desserts.
