Anti-cancer foods!

I read a great article on prevention.com today about the best anti-cancer fighting foods. You'll rarely find a doctor say this, and it blows my mind as to why not, but there are some foods out there that can actually help cure some cancers, because they can actually force cancer cells to die through a process called apoptosis. Here are some of the best foods:

pomegranate juice
ginger
broccoli, bok choy, brussels sprouts
garlic, onions, leeks, chives
citrus fruits, berries
dark chocolate (over %70)...or heck why not use raw cacao!?

It also recommended blending 1 tsp of turmeric with black pepper and dissolving it in oil, to use in soups, salad dressings, on vegetables, etc.

Cutting out meat and dairy also helps combat cancer, but adding fresh fatty fish has shown it's benefits.

So...not so surprising, but what is one diet that incorporates all these foods in their best (raw/natural/organic) form? That's right, RAW!




Eat yer apples!!
