2. • TO BRING AWARENESS OF
OBJECTS AND FOOD IN OUR
EVERY DAY LIVES THAT HURTS
AND HELPS WHEN IT COMES TO
CANCER.
3. FOOD
VEGETABLES
• BROCCOLI, CABBAGE, and CAULIFLOWER
– have chemical compound called indole-3-carbinol that can combat breast cancer by
converting a cancer-promoting estrogen.
– especially sprouts, also have phytochemical sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin-
believed to aid in preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer.
BroccoSprouts that have a consistent level of sulforaphane-as much as 20 times
higher than the levels found in mature heads of broccoli.
• CARROTS
– Contain a lot of beta-carotene, may help reduce a wide range of cancers including
lung, mouth, throat, stomach, intestine, bladder, prostate and breast.
– SOME RESEARCH INDICATED BETA-CAROTENE MAY ACTUALLY CAUSE
CANCER, BUT THIS HAS NOT PROVEN THAT EATING CARROTS, UNLESS IN
VERY LARGE QUANTITIES (2-3 KILOS A DAY) CAN CAUSE CANCER.
– Falcarinol that is found in carrots has been found to reduce the risk of cancer,
according to Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences. Isolated cancer cell grow more
slowly when exposed to falcarinol. This substance is a polyacethylen, however, so it
is important not to cook the carrots!
4. FOOD (cont.)
• KALE
– has indoles, nitrogen compounds which may help stop the conversion of certain
lesions to cancerous cells in estrogen-sensitive tissues.
– Isothiocyanates, phytochemicals found in Kale, are thought to suppress tumor
growth and block cancer-causing substances from reaching their targets.
• MUSHROOMS
– Shiitake, maitake, reishi, Agaricus blazei Murill, and Coriolus Versicolor appear to
help the body fight cancer and build the immune system.
– Polysaccharides, especially Lentinan, powerful compounds that help in building
immunity.
– are a source of Beta Glucan.
– have a protein called Lectin, which attacks cancerous cells and prevents them
from multiplying.
5. FOOD (cont.)
• SEAWEED
– and other sea vegetables contain beta-carotene, protein, vitamin B 12, fiber and
chlorophyll, as well as chlorophylones- important fatty acids that may help in the
fight against breast cancer.
– have high concentrations of the minerals potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron,
and iodine.
FRUIT
• AVOCADOS
– Rich in glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body
by blocking intestinal absorption of certain fats.
– Supply more potassium than bananas
– Strong source of beta-carotene.
– Scientists believe that may also be useful in treating viral hepatitis (a cause of
liver cancer) as well as other sources of liver damage.
6. FOOD (cont.)
• FIG
– have a derivative of benzaldehyde.
– contain vitamins A and C, and calcium, magnesium and potassium, may curtail
appetite and improve weight loss efforts
– Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Tokyo say benzaldehyde is highly
effective at shrinking tumors.
• GRAPEFRUITS
– contain monoterpenes, believed to help prevent cancer by sweeping
carcinogens out of the body.
– studies show that may inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells in vitro.
– contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, and folic acid
• GRAPES
– Red grapes contain bioflavonoids, powerful antioxidants that work as cancer
preventives.
