Edited by Kevin W Chen, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

\"foods\"<\/a>There is a common Chinese saying, “Diseases come from the mouth.”\u00a0 These seemingly simple words in fact contain several levels of meaning: Health issues, nutrition, food safety, and the even deeper issue of healthy diet and food as medicine.\u00a0 Many incidences of cancer are often associated with the wrong choice of food.\u00a0 However, certain foods can serve to prevent or kill cancer.\u00a0 Today I would like to share sixteen foods that can effectively kill or eliminate cancer cells within our bodies according to Chinese medicine and modern research, and should be considered as healthy food.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Bitter melon — \u00a0Li Shizhen called it “the first-class melon”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In polarization treatment in the folk sector, bitter melon suffered severely different reputations.\u00a0 Some people are really “good” with this taste, but many keep their distance from it.\u00a0 However, what really gives it “a good status” is the Ming Dynasty physician Li, Shizhen (the author of\u00a0 Compendium of Materia Medica) who called it “the first-class melon” because it is a rare, anti-cancer vegetable.\"bitter_melon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Western medicine has even proven that the anti-cancer effects of bitter melon comes from a class of quinine protein, is a protein that can activate immune cells. Through these activated immune cells as “secondary handlers,”,it can further kill cancer cells or other abnormal cells.\u00a0 The bitter melon seeds contain a protease inhibitor which can inhibit the protease secreted by tumor cells, thereby inhibiting cancer cell invasion and metastasis.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Eggplant: “eggplant after frost” is good medicine<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Eggplants\"<\/a>Among many TCM prescriptions or non-prescription formulas, “old eggplant after autumn,” “eggplant after frost” (exposed to frost) are frequently used.\u00a0 More and more evidence shows that the eggplant has effective anti-cancer function.\u00a0 Some experimental studies have extracted a non-toxic substance from the eggplant for the treatment of gastric cancer and cervical cancer, and received good therapeutic effect. In addition, eggplant contains solanine, cucurbitacin, stachydrine, choline, basil glycosides, saponins, eggplant color substances and other alkaloid materials. It has proven that solanine (\u9f99\u8475\u78b1) and cucurbitacin (\u846b\u82a6\u7d20) have anti-cancer abilities.\u00a0 In addition, eggplant flowers, eggplant stem, root, and juice are all good medicines.\u00a0 The ancient literature recorded the use of autumn eggplant for tumor treatment.<\/p>\n

Eggplant is also rich in nutrients; except vitamin A, C is little lower, the levels of other vitamins and minerals are almost the same as in tomatoes, while its protein and calcium are three times higher than tomatoes.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Seaweed: can prevent breast cancer and thyroid cancer<\/em><\/p>\n

\"seaweet\"<\/a>Seaweed (kelp) is also named as \u201cKun Bu\u201c in TCM; it can prevent breast cancer and thyroid cancer. Seaweed (kelp) is rich in iodine, can prevent the “big neck” sickness (hyper-thyroidism) which has been known to affect even women and children in China. In fact,\u00a0 seaweed has many other kelp “skills:” it contains sodium alginate and carcinogenic effects of strontium, cadmium has strong binding capacity and discharge them in vitro; seaweed selectively kills or inhibits the intestinal bacteria that may cause cancer, but also promotes the fiber contained in the discharge of bile acids and cholesterol; seaweed extract on various cancer cells directly inhibit growth.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Sweet Potato: gradually forgotten anticancer share<\/em><\/p>\n

\"sweetpotato\"<\/a>Sweet potato: alias yam, red potato, are considered a great food for getting rid of illnesses and prolonging life. In fact, sweet potato also has a strong anti-cancer function (including its ivy and leaves). Recently, scientists have discovered a substance, DHEA, in sweet potatoes, which can effectively prevent colon cancer and breast cancer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Pumpkin: known as a “God melon”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"pumpkin\"<\/a>In some countries, pumpkin is known as “God melon” because it can be both a\u00a0 main food, and a veggie or side dish.\u00a0 Americans like to eat pumpkin at the Thanksgiving dinner to express their gratitude to the pumpkin (as well as to the Indian). However, in China, it is now rarely planted as much as it used to be.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin can prevent obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol.\u00a0 It also has a good effect on cancer prevention. Pumpkin contains high levels of vitamin A.\u00a0 Also rich in vitamin C, calcium and fiber, pumpkin contains unknown ingredients and tryptophan that can inhibit carcinogens.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Wheat bran: the best anti-cancer dietary fiber<\/em><\/p>\n

\"grans\"<\/a>Alias bran, it’s the coat that comes from wheat when flouring. It was used as animal feed, not for human consumption.\u00a0 After using wheat bran to feed livestock, the animal would show ruddy skin, shiny hair, and a very significant healthy state.\u00a0 Now wheat bran receives increased attention for health. Many Western institutions called on people to eat whole grains, whole wheat foods. Whole wheat food is the food including both wheat flour and the bran.<\/p>\n

Wheat bran is the main nutrient “warehouse” of wheat, including vitamin Bs, selenium, magnesium, and other minerals, and almost all the fiber is concentrated in it. It can prevent and treat colorectal cancer, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, constipation, and hemorrhoids. Therefore, many experts believe that wheat bran is the best anti-cancer dietary fiber.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Radish: the “health protection God” of the root vegetables<\/em><\/p>\n

\"raddish\"<\/a>Radish, Alias turnips, with many varieties, are all anti-cancer experts, so there are Chinese sayings, “Winter eat radish and Summer eat ginger, no need to go see medical doctor for life,” and “October radish is as good as ginseng,”\u00a0 The Dutch people consider carrots as “national dish;” in Japan and the United States people believe the radish is the “health protection God” of all root vegetables.<\/p>\n

Radish has anti-cancer, opening chest, phlegm, and diuretic functions. Radish contains a variety of enzymes that can eliminate the carcinogenic effects of nitrosamines. Its lignin can stimulate the body immunity, enhance macrophage activity, enhancing their ability to swallow and to kill cancer cells. The spicy taste of radish comes from mustard oil, which can stimulate peristalsis, promote excluding (detoxify) carcinogens. Radish also contains many inhibitory mutagenic activity of unknown composition. The vitamin C in radish is greater than in apples or pears, 8-10 times higher. Carrots are rich in carotene, which also has excellent anti-cancer effects.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Kiwi: Vitamin C content is the crown of all fruits<\/em><\/p>\n

\"kiwi\"<\/a>Kiwi is brown color, shaped like potatoe, inside green as emerald therein, adenosine and delicious.\u00a0 It was the southern mountain wild fruit, and now has been transplanted to different countries. The fruit is rich in sugars, proteins, lipids, vitamins, organic acids and multiple minerals. Vitamin C content of Kiwi ranks the highest in fruit — every 100 grams of kiwi contains 200 mg of V-C, almost 100 times as much as in citrus, and 30 times as in tomatoes.\u00a0 It is truly a “natural vitamin C tablet,” and also contains rich vitamin P that can protect vascular function, with high nutritional value.<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Cauliflower is rich in nutrition<\/em><\/p>\n

\"califlower\"<\/a>Cauliflower contains protein, fat, sugar, and a variety of vitamins and calcium and iron, bronze, manganese and other minerals.\u00a0 Long-term consumption of cauliflower increases the liver’s detoxification capacity, and improves the body’s immune system to prevent the occurrence of colds and scurvy.\u00a0 In addition, it also contains a variety of indole derivatives, which can enhance the body’s resistance to benzopyrene.\u00a0 Nitrosamines cauliflower also contain enzymes that can break down and “dithiol-thione,” can neutralize the poison and promote the body’s excretion, so eating cauliflower can reduce the chance of cancer, and has multiple health benefits.<\/p>\n

10. \u00a0Asparagus:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Asparagus\"<\/a>Asparagus, also known as Gracilaria, is a high-nutrition vegetable, in some countries it has the “king of vegetables” reputation.\u00a0 According to experts, studies have shown that asparagus has the function of preventing the spread of cancer. It contains selenium and plant fibers, etc., which can be useful to control a variety of cancers. It has special therapeutic effect on granulation of lymphatic cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer.\u00a0 Scientists think the reason for asparagus’ anti-cancer effect is because it contains tissue protein and other nutrients which can normalize cell growth while vitamin C and fiber can enhance the stromal cells, prevent the growth of cancer cells. It can also promote bowel movements and reduce the intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol, and promote carcinogens excretion. In addition, asparagus contains Tianmen move amide (\u5929\u95e8\u52a8\u9170\u80fa), which is also recognized as anti-cancer substance.<\/p>\n

11. \u00a0Corn may prevent cancer<\/em><\/p>\n

\"corns\"<\/a>Corn\u2019s nutritional value is higher than wheat flour and rice.\u00a0 Regular consumption of corn can prevent arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and other diseases. “Coarse grain” such as corn are getting more and more attention from nutritionists.\u00a0\u00a0 Research demonstrated that corn is rich in trace elements calcium, magnesium, selenium, etc., and a variety of vitamins. Selenium is an anti-cancer substance, and it plays the role of a scavenger in the body.\u00a0 The high cellulose content of corn can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote bowel movements, and reduce the intestinal absorption of carcinogens, preventing colorectal cancer.\u00a0 So consumption of corn has some anti-cancer effect. However, it’s necessary to point out that fresh corn is the best choice.<\/p>\n

12. \u00a0Soy-milk can reduce three risks of cancer<\/em><\/p>\n

\"soystofu\"<\/a>Soy beans contain a lot of isoflavones and plant hormones. Isoflavones have anticancer effects. Plant hormones can coordinate the body’s endocrine function.\u00a0 Modern medical research showed that drinking soymilk as a plant protein supplement can reduce breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer, while other food mold compound can improve people’s human endocrine function and enhance body\u2019s anticancer ability so as to achieve anti-cancer and wellness goals. From the perspective of preventive medicine, middle-aged women need to add beans to their diet the most. Drinking soymilk every day can reduce the incidence of breast cancer, and prevent women from premature aging. Soymilk can prolong the organ functions through endocrine system, making women more healthy and energetic.\u00a0 Therefore, doctors believe that drinking soymilk not only supplements the desired protein for human body, but also has the function of preventing cancer and enhancing wellness. Among various beans, soybeans, peas, lentils, mung beans, and big beans all contain nucleic acid that can prevent cancer.<\/p>\n

13. \u00a0Green tea prevent cancer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"greentea\"<\/a>Green tea and its extracts have long been studied for health benefits, including cancer prevention.\u00a0 According to the recent research, tea, especially green tea, has significant function in preventing cancer.<\/p>\n

For example, men with prostate cancer who drank green tea had less prostate tissue inflammation (linked to cancer growth) and other changes than those who didn’t drink it.\u00a0 Please read some updates of green tea and cancer prevention on WebMD.com.<\/p>\n

14. \u00a0Liliaceae: prevention of cancer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"onion\"<\/a>Liliaceae (green onion, onion, garlic, etc.), and cruciferous (yuan cabbage, radish, turnip, etc.) vegetables, containing large amounts of sulfur compounds, capable of enhancing the role of liver detoxification enzymes, which are required when detoxifying foreign bodies.\u00a0 Therefore they can enhance the body function to prevent cancer.<\/p>\n

15. \u00a0Mushrooms: help prevent stomach cancer and esophageal cancer\"mushroom\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mushroom is very nutritious, containing essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals, selenium and rich in vitamin D, and it can enhance human immunity, and help prevent stomach cancer and esophageal cancer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

16. \u00a0Garlic: has strong inhibitory effect on many cancer cells.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"carlic\"<\/a>Garlic <\/strong>is the most powerful anti-cancer spice. Studies all over the world have shown it to lower the risk of developing all types of cancers especially colon, stomach, intestinal, and prostate cancer.\u00a0It has strong antibacterial properties as well as the\u00a0ability to block formation and halt activation\u00a0of cancer-causing substances. It can also\u00a0enhance DNA\u00a0repair,\u00a0slow down cell reproduction, and like Turmeric and Oregano, induce apoptosis. It stops cancer growth and kills cancer cells.<\/p>\n

Research has confirmed that allicin in garlic has strong inhibitory effect on many cancer cells.\u00a0 Allicin can block the in-vivo synthesis of nitrosamines. Garlic is rich in selenium and germanium, while germanium can activate macrophage phagocytosis. \u00a0\u00a0The World Health Organization recommends adults have a daily dose of fresh garlic (approximately one clove).<\/p>\n

17. \u00a0Turmeric — Cancer-fighting spice<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"turmeric\"<\/a>Turmeric<\/strong>\u00a0contains the powerful cancer-fighting polyphenol\u00a0Curcumin,\u00a0<\/strong>which\u00a0has been clinically shown to inhibit growth of various cancer cells including: Bone Cancer, Breast Cancer, Brain Tumors, Colon, Liver, Pancreatic, Stomach, Bladder, Kidney, Prostate, Leukemia, Ovarian, Melanoma, and more!<\/p>\n

Curcumin\u00a0has the ability to block every stage of cancer development, from cell mutation, to tumor growth, to metastasis. It can also kill many different types of cancer cells by triggering apoptosis\u00a0<\/strong>(programmed cell death) without affecting normal cells. It is because of these known benefits, that curcumin has been the subject of cancer research for many decades.<\/p>\n

There are hundreds of published studies demonstrating\u00a0the anti-cancer power of curcumin, but because the pharmaceutical industry hasn\u2019t figured out how to make a patentable FDA-approved drug out of it, curcumin cannot be used in cancer treatment. This is the reality of \u201cevidence-based medicine\u201d, ignoring all\u00a0evidence that cannot produce\u00a0patented profitable drugs.<\/p>\n

18. \u00a0Broccoli or Broccoli Sprouts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"broccoli-2\"<\/a>All cruciferous veggies (think cauliflower, cabbage, kale) contain cancer-fighting properties, but broccoli is the only one with a sizable amount of sulforaphane, a particularly potent compound that boosts the body’s protective enzymes and flushes out cancer-causing chemicals, says Dr. Jed Fahey. \u00a0A recent University of Michigan study on mice found that sulforaphane also targets cancer stem cells\u2014those that aid in tumor growth.<\/p>\n

Your Rx:<\/b>\u00a0 Research suggests that the more broccoli, the better\u2014so add it wherever you can, and use broccoli sprouts as an alternative, from salads to omelets to the top of your pizza.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The above 18 healthy foods are the most effective foods for cancer prevention.\u00a0 For those who care for their health and desire to keep a distance from cancer, you should regularly eat these foods if possible.\u00a0 For your own health, try not to become a picky eater!<\/p>\n
