See book keywords and concepts |  We should be eating things such as millet, buckwheat, brown rice, spelt, rye, quinoa, raw vegetables and fruits of all types, tem-peh, tofu, nuts, tubers—yams, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. And the only oil we should use in cooking is macadamia oil, because it's the only one that is heat stable. Canola oil, from new information published recently, is not stable. As a result, it is potentially dangerous to your health. Use canola oil only in salad dressings, not in cooking. |
Ronald Klatz and Robert Goldman
See book keywords and concepts |  Eat more vegetables. cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, Swiss chard, kale, spinach, beets, carrots, sweet potatoes and yams, all contain powerful anticancer nutrients. These foods are high in beta-carotene, which has been shown to reduce and/or slow rapid cell growth in cancers. In order to reduce your risk of cancer, it is important to eat five to ten servings of fresh fruit and vegetables a day, every day, not just once in a while.
Get enough zinc. |
Mark Bricklin
See book keywords and concepts |  Favor the cruciferous vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Whatever their special ingredient—perhaps compounds called indoles—there is something about them that cancer doesn't like.
18. Work more whole wheat bread and other whole grains into your diet. They're good sources of selenium, fiber, nonmeat protein and possibly other goodies that may be eliminated in the refining process.
19. Employ the principle of optimization. Look for foods, recipes and meals that combine many of the protective factors, while having few negative factors. |
Dr. Julian Whitaker
See book keywords and concepts | | Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey of 11,658 Americans, on an average day, 41 percent eat no fruit at all, 72 percent eat no vitamin-C rich fruits, 82 percent eat no cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, and 84 percent eat no high-fiber, whole-grain foods. These folks (and statistically speaking, you're likely to be among them) are headed toward trouble—if not now, then as they get older when their body's internal production of protective nutrients declines. The only way they are going to get the vitamins and minerals they need is by taking nutritional supplements. |
Andrew L. Stoll
See book keywords and concepts |  Dark-green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, parsley, and cruciferous vegetables contain coenzyme Q10 and glutathione, both components of cell-protecting antioxidant systems. Richly pigmented fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, and red peppers also provide antioxidant phytochemicals. Tomatoes contain both alpha- and beta-carotene, as well as lycopene, an extremely powerful antioxidant. Even the green herbs rosemary, oregano, and thyme have antioxidant compounds. |
Robert Hass, M.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  Have at least one serving each day (V2 cup is a serving) of one of these cruciferous vegetables.
OLIVE OIL
Eating olive oil reduces the risk of breast cancer. Dimitrios Tricho-poulos, Ph.D., of the Harvard School of Public Health and his colleagues found that women who eat olive oil only once a day face a 25% higher risk of developing breast cancer than do women who consume it twice or more daily. Olive oil is important, but so is keeping total fat intake and daily calories to low levels. | | Natural Foods That Fight Breast Cancer
Soy foods and beverages, tomato products, cruciferous vegetables, friendly fats, and certain fruits contain the world's most powerful breast cancer-fighting phytonutrients (Table 5.3).
TABLE 5.3
Phytofood Products That Fight Breast and Ovarian Cancer
The following formula foods (also known as functional foods or biodesigned foods) contain anticancer phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, and nonvitamin nutrients now being tested by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and other health research organizations. |
Dr. Vern Cherewatenko and Paul Perry
See book keywords and concepts |  Indoles and isothiocyanates. cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage, are especially good sources of antioxidant phytochemicals.
Isoflavones. Soybeans contain this phytochemical, along with several other antioxidant substances, including phytic acid, protease inhibitors, saponins, phytoserols, and phenolic acid.
Lignans. Commonly found in oil pressed from flaxseed, lignans is a powerful antioxidant that also contains omega-3 fatty acids that may protect against heart disease and colon cancer.

• Some cases of hyperthyroidism are mild and can be somewhat improved, in part, by eating generous quantities of raw cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, collard, brussels sprouts, and mustard greens. These vegetables contain a natural thyroid blocker.
HERBAL AND HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
• Using a botanical tincture of lycopus and cactus (twenty-five to thirty drops three times a day) and homeopathic thyroid (200c) has been helpful for mild cases. |

Like other cruciferous vegetables, brussels sprouts are chock-full of natural plant compounds called phytonutrients, which may help protect against cancer. These compounds may be particularly effective against common cancers like those of the breast and colon.
One of the key protective compounds in brussels sprouts is sulforaphane. Sulforaphane triggers the release of enzymes that help rid your body's cells of toxic wastes and reduce your risk for cancer, says Jon Michnovicz, M.D., Ph.D. |

þ cruciferous vegetables. Also known as brassicas, this food group includes broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, kohlrabi, rutabaga, turnips, and brussels sprouts. They're famous for containing phytochemicals with long names like isothiocyanates, indoles, and glucosinolates. These natural substances appear to safeguard your DNA from cancer-causing mutations. They might even stop the growth of tumors. You'll get the most cancer protection if you eat these veggies raw or only lighdy cooked.
þ Onions and garlic. |
Ralph Golan, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Indoles from cruciferous vegetables also render estrogen less effective. Ellagic acid from grapes, limonene from citrus fruits, and caffeic acid from many fruits all act as anticarcinogens.
• Limit dietary hazards such as sugar; common, refined, polyunsaturated, and partially hydrogenated oils; and excess fat.
• Avoid fried foods; nitrates, as found in cold cuts and cured meats; peanuts and peanut butters that are not certified as free of aflatoxin; smoked foods; and charcoaled or charred meats. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Also, be sure to include the many excellent detoxifying cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, cabbage, watercress, kohlrabi, and bok choy.
In addition to a daily broad-spectrum multi-vitamin/mineral, we recommend that you supplement with extra vitamin C and natural, mixed vitamin E and carotenoids. Frequent use of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory culinary spices such as fresh garlic, ginger, and turmeric (Indian curry], as well as herbs such as oregano, dill, thyme, and sage in your food preparations is also extremely valuable. |
Glenn W. Geelhoed, M.D. and Jean Barilla, M.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  These include wheat, dairy products, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts), yeast, tomatoes, citrus fruits and eggs. A high sugar intake has been linked to Crohn's. And some people react unfavorably to dairy products. In addition, researchers at Ninewells Medical School in Scotland discovered that yeast caused flare-ups in some patients — and that the symptoms subsided when yeast was eliminated from their diets.
¦ Add the "right" foods to your diet. | | You can easily get more fiber in your diet by eating high-fiber cereals, whole-grain breads and muffins, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. cruciferous vegetables are especially good. Research in Greece, Japan and the United States indicates that eating raw or cooked broccoli or cabbage once a week can significantly decrease your chances of getting colon cancer. And Norwegians, who typically include a lot of crucifers in their diets, have fewer and smaller pre-cancerous polyps of the colon.
Exercise. | | And additional studies done at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Research Laboratory in New York suggest that compounds called "indoles" — which are found in cruciferous vegetables — may protect against breast cancer by preventing the body from producing a kind of estrogen that is often found in women who have breast cancer. Instead of producing this highly reactive, cancer-stimulating kind of sex hormone, it appears that indoles encourage the production of a hormone that is relatively inert.
Exercise. |
Prevention Magazine
See book keywords and concepts | | These compounds, which are found in all cruciferous vegetables, may be the reason that studies consistently show that folks who make a habit of crunching crucifers are less likely to get cancer.
In one study, scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore exposed 145 laboratory animals to high doses of an extremely powerful cancer-causing agent. Of those, 120 were given high levels of protective sulforaphane. Fifty days later, 68 percent of the unprotected animals had breast tumors, compared with only 26 percent of those that received the sulforaphane. | | Isothiocyanates, sometimes called mustard oils, protect cruciferous vegetables by leaving invading insects with a bitter taste in their mouths. Like indoles, isothiocyanates, which are found in broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cabbage, show promise for helping to prevent cancer.
So far, sulforaphane, a compound abundant in broccoli, has been crowned the leading isothiocyanate for its cancer-blocking ability in laboratory tests. In one study, researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore exposed laboratory animals to a powerful cancer-causing agent. |
Robert Hass, M.S.
See book keywords and concepts | | Compounds in garlic, onions, and such cruciferous vegetables as broccoli and cabbage detoxify carcinogens and prevent them from doing their dirty work. Retinoids, indoles, isothiocyanates, polyphenols, and trace minerals found in cabbage alone can inhibit breast cancer in rats. Scientists at the NCI believe that phytonutrients are active against human cancer as well. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Isothiocyanates are a type of organosulfur compound found in cruciferous vegetables. Animal and human studies show they can fight off cancers of the colon, breast, and digestive tract.
Phytosterols. Phytochemicals in this group are similar to the steroid hormones your own body makes. They act like estrogen or progesterone and are important for fighting breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Lignans, an example of these friendly plant chemicals, can slow the growth of breast tumors.
Polyphenols. This category of phytochemicals contains phenolic acids. |
Stephanie Beling
See book keywords and concepts |  Both cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens have high nutrient density. That means they have a high proportion of nutrition—fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates—for the few calories supplied. The diversity of these vegetables enhances their health merit. To almost all of the twenty-plus vegetables listed above, add variations on the theme; of the lettuces, for example, no fewer than eighty-seven varieties were listed as far back as 1885 in a U.S. government agricultural report. |
Bill Gottlieb
See book keywords and concepts |  He recommends eating three or four servings of cruciferous vegetables a week.
He emphasizes that supplements are no substitute for the vegetables themselves, but if the thought of regular servings of those things curdles your tastebuds, take heart. There is an alternative: You can take an in-dole-containing supplement. Follow the dosage recommendations on the label.
SOY: High in Estrogen-Replacing Isoflavones
Found primarily in soy products, food chemicals called isoflavones rev up your liver's ability to process and excrete excess estrogen, so you end up with more testosterone. Dr. |
Stephanie Beling
See book keywords and concepts | | Let's get the terms straight right away:
Some cruciferous vegetables are both leafy and green—kale and collards for example. But not all leafy green vegetables are crucifers; lettuces, for example, are not cruciferous. The word "crucifer" means "cross-bearer," and the cruciferae, as the scientific Latin calls them, bear cross-shaped flowers—four petals arranged diagonally. These vegetables are part of the mustard family. | | Throughout the nineties, research results poured in from all over the world: At Cornell University, researchers isolated the sulforaphanes in cruciferous vegetables, showing them to be effective in preventing cancer. In Cairo, the essential fatty acids in pumpkin-seed oil were shown to be effective against arthritic inflammation. At Harvard Medical School, it was shown that the lycopenes in tomatoes lowered the risk of prostate cancer. In Hannover, Germany, a study on flavonoids showed that they helped prevent gastrointestinal diseases. |
Bill Gottlieb
See book keywords and concepts | | Mills particularly recommends high-fiber cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts, and turnips. They contain indole-3-carbinol, a chemical that helps block estrogen from binding to breast tissue.
IODINE: Get Relief with Ocean Plants
Iodine blocks estrogen from sticking to its receptors in the breasts, Dr. Mills says. The best sources of iodine are sea vegetables such as kelp, wakame, and kombu. You can use kelp in granulated form as a seasorting. To use wakame or kombu, soak the seaweed until it's soft, then cut it into small pieces and add it to soups. |
Stephanie Beling
See book keywords and concepts | | Sulforaphane is found in broccoli, brussels sprouts, turnips, kale, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables. Simply put, we can say that just by eating tomatoes, we help keep carcinogens from forming; by eating broccoli, we can send them spinning out of the cell.
Still another line of defense is to neutralize carcinogens before they can invade the cell's DNA and cause mutations. For this, the ellagic acid in strawberries, grapes, and raspberries, and the isofhio-cyanates in cabbage, turnips, and other crucifers are particularly potent. | | Studies on menopausal women show that the bioflavonoids found in large quantities in green leafy vegetables, in cruciferous vegetables, and in fruits, as well as the isoflavones in soy, act as weak estrogens to relieve or prevent the symptoms of menopause.
The bioflavonoids also have a unique ability to bond to collagen, the glue that holds human cells together, and to inhibit the enzymes that break down collagen. Eating PowerFoods rich in bioflavonoids can help return flexibility to the skin, the arteries, capillaries, joints, and other tissues by restoring collagen. |

Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The American Cancer Society's epidemiological studies indicate that diets high in cruciferous vegetables are associated with less cancer incidence.
The lactobacilli organisms found in fermented foods are very high in enzymes, which add to our overall enzyme bank when they are taken into the system. These organisms help with the digestion and conversion of starches and sugars in the vegetables to lactic and acetic acid in our colon. This aid to our digestion further supports our overall enzymatic pool because now less enzymes have to be secreted by the pancreas for digestion. |
