Dr. Gwen's Women's Health Podcasts show

Summary: The following foods are recommended to help "prevent" cancer. 1) Soy: 8-10 grams tofu, soy nuts, soy milk, or edaname a day to prevent breast and prostate cancer. 2) Berries: One cup/day for antioxidants to help ward off cell damage that can lead to cancer and other diseases. 3) Broccoli: 1/2 cup of cooked broccoli or other cruciferous veggies a day to aid in prevention of colorectal cancer. 4) Onions: 1/4 cup of onions, garlic, leeks or shallots for several anti-cancer agents. 5) Tomatoes: 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw tomatoes three times/week to help prevent prostate cancer. Adding 3 daily servings of "rainbow vegetables" (red, yellow, orange, white, green or purple) provides even more disease-preventing micronutrients. Source: Roethel, K.
