Foods That Fuel The Growth Of Cancer Cells…And Foods That
Starve Them
Are you aware that there are certain foods that actually increase your risk of cancer, while others have the power
to starve cancer cells from your body?
Most doctors do not study nutrition and therefore rarely give you any dietary advice, but instead simply write you
out a drug prescription for your health concerns.
Foods That Fuel the Growth of Cancer Cells
Here are some of the most dangerous foods that can actually fuel the growth of cancer cells:
1. Cured, smoked and processed meats all have direct
links to cancer. Most people however consume these on a
daily basis. Do you eat bacon, ham, sausage, hot dogs, lunch
meat and corned beef? They may be pleasing to your taste
buds, but did you know that some of the processes and
chemicals used to preserve these meats generate cancer-
causing compounds? In fact, the risk is so high that the World
Cancer Research Fund recommends avoiding processed
meats altogether!
2. Refined carbs and sugars also fuel the growth of cancer
cells. Over the past some fifty years the consumption of
refined carbs and refined sugar has greatly increased. Cancer
needs sugar to live, bacteria, fungus and other toxic microbes
that cause over 90% of all illnesses feed on glucose. Yes, these foods provide malignant cancer cells with a
steady supply of glucose that they need and use to multiply and weaken our cells so the cancer virus can infiltrate
them.
3. GMO (Genetically Modified) foods are also highly toxic. The powerful Monsanto Corporation produces
chemicals like “Round-up” for the farm community. The bad news is that this herbicide has been linked to an
increased risk of tumor growth, breast cancer, lymphoma and leukemia. No wonder more and more people have
decided to purchase non-GMO seeds, like Heritage Seeds and grow their own gardens.
4. Over-cooked meat is another contributing factor for many
types of cancer; including cancers of the breast, prostate,
colon, pancreas and stomach. When you have a BBQ and
grill and cook meat at high temperatures this releases cancer-
causing chemicals, such as heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Apparently, the
longer you cook the meat and the higher the temperature, the
more of these compounds are produced. No wonder the
French eat their steak ‘medium rare’.
Consuming only grass fed free range beef, chicken and lamb
is highly recommended to avoid all the hormones and
chemicals used in commercial farms today. Also, it is best to
BBQ your meat on the hot plate area of the BBQ where the flames cannot touch the meat directly, instead of the

2. grill area that allows the flames to touch the meat.
Foods That Starve Cancer Cells
In order for cancer cells to multiply and spread through our bodies they require the new growth of blood vessels,
which is called “angiogenesis.” Research has discovered that when there is no formation of new blood vessels the
cancer cells simply die off before they have a chance to multiply. That is why we need to consume foods that
‘starve’ any cancer cells that might be lurking in our bodies.
Here are some of the most effective anti-cancer foods to consume on a daily basis:
1. “Cruciferous” or “brassica” vegetables (such as
arugula, bok choy, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, cabbage,
cauliflower, greens, radishes, rutabaga, turnips and
watercress) all contain powerful phytonutrients called
sulfuraphane and indoles. If we consume many of these
foods on a daily basis they will inhibit angiogenesis and
control cancer growth.
In addition, they not only prevent cancer cells from forming
but also help kill cancer cells and protect from DNA damage.
No wonder Dr. Johanna Budwig had her patients drink a glass
of fresh sauerkraut juice first thing in the morning. Also, many
of her recipes included these cruciferous vegetables. When
we eat these foods regularly we lower our risk of prostate, colon, breast, lung as well as other cancers.
2. Green tea helps decrease the risk of colon, prostate, lung, esophageal and other cancers. What is it about
green tea that is different from other teas? Well, green tea has catechins that make it so special. These help
prevent cancer invasion, tumor formation and angiogenesis. More than that, green tea also helps preserve
telomeres, which are the protective strands of DNA at the ends of your chromosomes.
Scientist now believe that shortened telomeres have been linked with the development of certain types of cancer
as well as premature aging and disease. You can also increase your consumption of green tea by consuming
green tea capsules or tablets. Typically one green tea tablet equals three cups of green tea.
3. Fruits and vegetables high in flavonoids also work in many ways to prevent angiogenesis and inhibit the
growth of cancer cells. So go ahead and enjoy on a daily basis berries, pomegranates, apples, spinach, onions
and cacao, which are all foods that have high flavonoid content.
Brand new research shows that organic crops and foods contain up to 69 percent more antioxidants than
conventional crops grown with pesticides. Dr. Budwig had all her cancer patients consume plenty of natural fruits,
fruit juice and vegetables.
Most of us are already eating some fruits and vegetables.
However, are we eating enough? Most of us need to eat more
of these healthy foods. Especially our children need to
develop a taste for real food. If you are having a problem to
get your family to eat more fruit, serve them a glass of fresh
pressed fruit juice first thing in the morning and when they
come into the kitchen looking for a snack.
Many children resist eating vegetables, especially the
cruciferous ones which have a stronger flavor. We can make
a nice puree type soup with some of these vegetables
combined with carrot and other more tasty vegetables to
educate their palate from a young age. How many of us

3. resisted eating our vegetables when we were growing up, but as we ate a few over a period of time we came to
accept and even enjoy them.
4. Grapes and red wine are an abundant source of resveratrol. You have probably heard that resveratrol slows
down the enzymes that can stimulate cancer-cell growth. Resveratrol as found in grapes (especially the seed)
also suppresses cancer growth and the formation of cancer-spreading blood vessels.
Living in Spain I have access to plenty of fresh grapes and red wine. I like to eat the seed along with the grape
because that is where the most resveratrol is found.
