The Answer to Cancer - 5 Must Have Foods That Can Stop Cancer in
It's Tracks.
By Linda Hibbard
Dr. Oz says, “Every one of us has cancer growing in us right
now.” It’s called, cancer without disease, and we have the power
to prevent it from becoming deadly.
Did you know that a microscopic tumor can grow up to 16,000
times its original size in as little as 2 weeks?
Cancer cells are fed by new blood vessels that are formed by a
process called: “Angiogenesis.” Angiogenesis is a highly
delicate balancing act. Cancer cells throw this balancing act
out of whack by releasing chemicals that cause too many new
blood vessels to develop. These excess blood vessels not only
feed our healthy cells, but also those ravenously hungry, rogue
cancer cells. The more fuel they receive, the more these
microscopic malignancies grow and divide. That’s how the
smallest cancer cells that live in all of us can morph quietly
into life threatening tumors.
William W. Li, MD President, The Angiogenesis Foundation,
Cambridge, Massachusetts states, “More than 70 major diseases
affecting more than a billion people worldwide share abnormal
angiogenesis as their common denominator. In particular,
angiogenesis is a hallmark of every type of cancer. “It’s about
you and what you choose to eat,” says Dr. Li. Over 100 foods
contain inhibitors that prevent angiogenesis, but not all of
these foods are created equal. Some are more potent than others.
5 Foods that can Prevent Cancer from growing inside you.
1. Bok Choy – This type of Chinese cabbage contains brassinin;
a powerful cancer-fighter, also found in broccoli, cauliflower
and Brussels sprouts. Bok Choy should be eaten 3 times a week,
in 1/2 cup servings to obtain its full benefits.
2. Cooked Tomatoes – have more cancer-fighting properties than
raw tomatoes. Both contain the molecule lycopene, (which is an
anti-angiogenesis compound) but heating the tomato and adding
olive oil changes its chemical structure and makes the benefits
more readily available to your body. You should eat 2-3 (1/2
cup) servings of cooked tomatoes a week. In studies, men eating
2 to 3 servings of cooked tomatoes a week had a 50% reduction in
the risk of developing prostate cancer.
3. Flounder – This fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low
in mercury. Three 6-ounce servings a week is ideal.
4. Strawberries – The antioxidants in this berry help fight
cancers. You should eat 1 cup a day, including the juice.
5. Artichokes contain 3 different cancer-fighting molecules.
Enjoy ¼ cup of hearts per day.
The important thing to understand is that these are foods in
which there is evidence that they can reduce cancer. The
servings and sizes are general guidelines. The more we eat of
these foods, the better it is for us.
Other great cancer inhibiting foods are:
Green tea – Dunk Your Teabag. Dunking a tea bag up and down
releases more cancer-fighting molecules than letting the bag
just sit in the cup.
Soybeans – Fermented soy, like the kind used in miso soup,
contains four times more cancer fighters than regular soybeans.
Chocolate & Cinnamon
Chewing leafy greens helps to release enzymes that activate
cancer-fighting molecules embedded deep in the leaves.
Broccoli sprouts can contain more cancer-fighting properties
than regular broccoli.
Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples have twice as many cancer
fighters as Fuji or Golden Delicious apples.
The San Marzano tomato contains more cancer fighters than any
other variety.
Wine grapes grown in cooler climates have more cancer fighters
than grapes grown in warmer climates.
We now know that all fruits and vegetables are not created
equal – some are much more potent than others, based on their
anti-angiogenesis profiles.
Dr. Oz says to choose one cancer fighting food for each meal.
At 3 meals each day, that adds up to more than a thousand of
cancer fighting food choices each year.
