The following foods are recommended to help "prevent" cancer.
1) Soy: 8-10 grams tofu, soy nuts, soy milk, or edaname a day to prevent breast and prostate cancer.
2) Berries: One cup/day for antioxidants to help ward off cell damage that can lead to cancer and other diseases.
3) Broccoli: 1/2 cup of cooked broccoli or other cruciferous veggies a day to aid in prevention of colorectal cancer.
4) Onions: 1/4 cup of onions, garlic, leeks or shallots for several anti-cancer agents.
5) Tomatoes: 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw tomatoes three times/week to help prevent prostate cancer. Adding 3 daily servings of "rainbow vegetables" (red, yellow, orange, white, green or purple) provides even more disease-preventing micronutrients.
