Hi all. I came across a good article today and wanted to share it with you. There has been such an overwhelming amount of scientific studies over the last several years on the coorelation between what we eat and cancer. After studying cancer for years and having first hand knowledge of what cancer patients go thru, it has been my mission to pass information on to anyone seeking answers. In my opinion, it's ashame that it takes a good dose of reality for some to make changes in their life style, often after its too late. Even small changes can make a huge difference, not only in preventing cancer, but it how we feel everyday. Who doesn't want to feel good everyday? Despite our busy life style and easy access to fast food, processed food and chemically altered food, we CAN make some changes that will have a huge impact on our quality of life, now and later. Remember this; Most people who are sick were once healthy! It is what we do over time that hurts us. My sister passed away at 47 from cancer. My brother was diagnosed with colon cancer at 55. My Dad passed away from cancer at a young age. Bottom line, ignorance is expensive. They didn't know what they didn't know. Get educated now, not when it is too late. If you get some new information, it will change how you process things and how you do things. That can make all the difference in the world. Here is a quick article from from Caring.com
Can SUPERFRUITS help prevent cancer? The short answer to this question is—drum roll, please—yes. They really do. While studies are ongoing, and in many cases experts still don't know exactly how these superfoods work, there's strong evidence that certain fruits and vegetables rich in plant-based nutrients can both prevent tumors from starting and halt their growth. Here, the top foods to work into the family diet if you'd like to cut cancer risk or help those with cancer recover. And who wouldn't?
Blueberries, açai berries, raspberries, and cranberries
The rich, dark colors of blueberries, Brazilian açai berries, raspberries and cranberries come from phytochemicals that protect against numerous types of cancer. Most recently, researchers at the University of Florida found that the active ingredient in açai berries destroyed cancer cells when tested in cell cultures. And blueberries and muscadine grapes contain compounds that recent research shows cause cancer cells in the liver to self-destruct. In studies particularly important to women, cranberries have recently been discovered to be an important weapon in the fight against deadly ovarian cancer. Studies reported at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society found that ovarian cancer cells that were becoming resistant to platinum chemotherapy—the standard of care for ovarian cancer—became six times more sensitive when exposed to a compound in cranberries.
