See book keywords and concepts |  Purification and stimulation of the spleen and lymphatic system can be enhanced by consuming fresh dandelions, sprouts, asparagus, mustard greens, radishes, and cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower. Sea vegetables, including kombu, wakame, hijiki, arame, and dulse, are beneficial for the maintenance of bone marrow and the thymus gland.
People with CFS should incorporate high-quality protein derived from vegetarian sources into their diets. Some good examples of vegetarian sources of protein include tofu, tempeh, fortified soy milk, and legumes. | | The anticancer diet contains alkaline foods, cruciferous vegetables, fiber, flaxseed oil, olive oil, green foods, green tea, fresh juices, seaweed and soybean products.
Antioxidant supplements prevent cells from becoming cancerous and can increase a patient's tolerance for chemotherapy and radiation; vitamins C and A are especially important as they are associated with long-term survival of cancer patients.
While many herbs stimulate appropriate immune response against cancer, astragalus is particularly powerful for that purpose and can be safely taken on a daily basis. | | The consumption of broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and other cruciferous vegetables is also recommended to combat cancer. The daily addition of acidophilus and approximately an ounce of wheat fiber to the diet can further enhance the colon's ability to eliminate estrogen. An adequate amount of wheat fiber can be obtained by taking two tablespoons of raw wheat bran per day. Finally, evidence has shown that reishi, shiitake, and maitake mushrooms can serve as formidable opponents of cancer cells. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Foods that may decrease the risk of cancer include the cruciferous vegetables, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi (cabbage turnip), broccoli and cauliflower, as well as foods rich in vitamin A and C such as fresh fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin and winter squash and foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole-grain cereals, vegetables, beans and fruits. Other foods such as the shiitake mushroom and seaweeds appear to have immune-enhancing, as well as anti-cancer, properties. |

• Build up to 30 to 35 grams of fiber daily. Since most of us eat about half that amount or less, a gradual increase will ensure digestive comfort.
• Avoid dairy products—even nonfat milk. Dairy products contain what Dr. Kradjian considers to be excessively high amounts of animal protein— protein that he believes may lead to higher cancer rates. Low-fat or nonfat soy cheese, rice milk and soy milk make good substitutes. | | Try to eat dark green, leafy vegetables, dark yellow fruits and vegetables and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.
• One to two cups of nonfat milk products—skim milk, nonfat cheese or nonfat yogurt.
• Four to eight egg whites or one to two cups of beans or peas.
• If you eat sweets, have no more than two ounces of packaged sweets a day. If you drink alcohol, you should drink no more than one serving of an alcoholic beverage—either 4 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer or llA ounces of "hard" liquor. searchers had developed positron emission tomography—the PET scan. | | Here's how it works: Legumes like beans and peas—and cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower and cabbage—all contain hard-to-digest sugars that are converted into the gases carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane by bacteria inside your intestines. Eat these foods regularly, and you have three choices—explode, float away or (the only real option) get rid of the gas. Beano gives you a fourth choice—break down those sugars before they hit your gut. And that's exactly what it does. | | Be sure to include cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and bok choy. Get plenty of citrus fruit and dark green, leafy vegetables as well.
"No one food item can provide all of the essential nutrients," notes Dr. Clifford. "So you need a variety. Green, leafy vegetables are good sources of B vitamins and carotenoids. Yellow and orange vegetables are also good sources of carotenoids and other important compounds."
Focus on fiber. One of the easiest—and most important—ways to keep yourself healthy is to eat foods that have an abundance of dietary fiber. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Allylic sulfide, a phytochemical found in onions and garlic, enhances enzymes that detoxify carcinogens. Capsaicin, in hot chile peppers, and other phytochemicals in such spices as turmeric and cumin, keeps toxic molecules from attaching to DNA and perhaps initiating cancer. Diallyl disulfide blocks and suppresses cancer agents, and it stimulates production of a detoxification enzyme called glutathione-S-transferase.You find it in onions, leeks, scalhons, chives, shallots, and, most powerfully of all, in garlic. |
Committee on Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer, Assembly of Life Sciences National Research Council
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, the constituents of cruciferae responsible for their apparent effect on the occurrence of cancer may be, as Chapter 15 suggests, indoles, isothio-cyanates, or other nonnutritive substances demonstrated to affect carcinogenesis in the laboratory. But it is not yet possible to attribute the epidemiological associations to any such substances simply because of the simultaneous presence in these vegetables of such other constituents as fiber, 8-carotene, ascorbic acid, or calcium. |
Michael Lerner
See book keywords and concepts |  These recommendations apply only to foods as sources of nutrients—not to dietary supplements of individual nutrients. . . . There is very little information on the effects of various levels of individual nutrients on the risk of cancer in humans. Therefore, the committee is unable to predict the health effects of high and potentially toxic doses of isolated nutrients consumed in the form of supplements [emphasis added],

See book keywords and concepts | | A number of nonnutritive and nutritive compounds that are present in these vegetables also inhibit carcinogenesis in laboratory animals. Investigators have not yet established which, if any, of these compounds may be responsible for the protective effect observed in epidemiological studies.
The fact that a compound has been shown to inhibit carcinogen-induced neoplasia in laboratory animals should not be interpreted as indicating that it is desirable for humans. These compounds may have adverse effects. Information on this subject is incomplete.

Alcohol
The effects of alcohol consumption on cancer incidence have been studied in human populations. In some countries, including the United States, excessive beer drinking has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, especially rectal cancer. |

As discussed earlier, if you have trouble digesting specific foods, this may be due to food allergies. With the help of an enzyme therapist, find out what foods you are allergic to and minimize your consumption of them.
