To Do: Top-15 Hit Parade of Cancer-Protective Foods 

Cancer-Protective Foods

Foods work on multiple body systems to nourish, cleanse, and heal. An E4H diet provides six to twelve servings a day of fresh, whole fruits and vegetables. Each of the following plant foods contains as many as one hundred cancer-protective phytonutrients. Some of these phytonutrients have been consistently associated with elements of cancer protection and healing in population-based epidemiological studies; others show great promise in laboratory and animal research but are still awaiting confirmation in human research. If you haven’t already tried these foods or made them a part of your weekly routine, you’ll want to add them to your to-do list right away!

 * The studies cited here are representative of the many hundreds of studies undertaken to examine the relationship between food and breast-cancer risk and development. Although these and other experimental results are very promising, it is important to remember that results in a test tube (in vitro) do not always translate into results in a human body. Animal (in vivo) studies, on the other hand, can offer significantly improved predictive value, because there are more similarities than differences between humans and laboratory animals.

Final Thoughts: A Call to Consciousness

Eating for Health is more than a dietary program. It’s a way of thinking, feeling, and
living that emphasizes a return to more traditional, whole foods, eaten mindfully
and with the intention to feed and nourish the body while communicating a gentle,
peaceful message to your genes and DNA. It’s a return to nature for nourishment.
