The Hot List!

Right off the bat, here is a list of foods that are supposed to be cancer fighters or cancer inhibitors. Please be careful and do your own research as some of these (such as grapefruit) can interact with certain drugs.

1) Brussels Sprouts, Collard Greens, Kale, Watercress, Turnips, White or Red Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Bok Choy
2) Garlic, Onions, Leeks, Shallots, and Chives
3) Soy - Soybens or Edamame, Miso, Soy Sauce, Dry Roasted Soybeans, Tofu, Soy Milk (the less sugar kind)
4) Turmeric - Add a teaspoon to soups, salads, or pasta. If you combine Turmeric with Black Pepper, you enchance its effectiveness by 1,000
5) Green Tea, particularly Japanese Green Tea. Look for the Sencha Type. It is way more effective as a cancer fighter if brewed for 10 minutes. Anything less than 10 hurts the effectiveness.
6) Berries - Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries and Cranberries. Cranberries are considered way better than Cranberry Juice
7) Omega 3 Fatty acids - Sardines, Herring, Mackerel, Salmon, Rainbow Trout, freshly milled flaxseed.
8) Tomato Paste, Spaghetti Sauce, Ketchup, Tomato Sauce,
9) Oranges, Grapefruits, Lemons, Mandarins
