Foods and supplements against cancer! Although there is no anti-cancer diet as such and it is recommended that cancer patients follow a generally healthy life style, certain foods and supplements have been found to good at preventing or at least suppressing cancer to some extent. The following are some examples: •Green tea. This has been shown to have ingredients that can prevent the spreading of cancer – the main problem for cancer patients! •Tumeric. •Chilli peppers. •Ginger. •Soybeans. •Tomatoes. These should be cooked in oil to release the “lycopene”. •Grapes. •Honey. •Garlic. •Cabbage. •Broccoli. In addition, a diet less in fat (little red meat) and low salt would be good and moderate exercise would be very good! Aspirin also has anti-cancer properties, except for pancreatic cancer, but must be taken under medical guidance. Reference Surh Y-J (2003) Cancer prevention with dietary phytochemicals.
