This month\u2019s issue of the International Journal of Cancer<\/em> published a report from the Leicester Royal Infirmary in which researchers actually tracked the cancer prevention benefits of certain foods. They were interested in a specific group I\u2019ve mentioned in these Health Tips several times: polyphenols, like those found in green tea.<\/p>\n

Yes, they concluded, there do seem to be steps you can take to reduce your lifetime cancer risks.<\/p>\n

Rather than just review their findings, here, for future reference, are the four-star cancer prevention foods and supplements:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tGreen tea (either as a beverage or capsules of Green Tea Extract<\/a>)
\n\u2022\tSoy isoflavones (soybean products such as soy milk or tofu or Soy Extract<\/a>)
\n\u2022\tCurcumin from turmeric (add turmeric and curry to foods)
\n\u2022\tBroccoli
\n\u2022\tTomatoes
\n\u2022\tSelenium<\/a>
\n\u2022\tNatural vitamin E<\/a> (\u201cnatural\u201d means a mixture of the three tocopherols as they are used in the body: alpha, gamma, and delta. Synthetic E includes alpha only.)
\n\u2022\tNatural tocotrienols (these are a ramped-up antioxidants, cousins of vitamin E)
\n\u2022\tVitamin C<\/a> (if you\u2019re eating 5 to 7 servings of fruit and veggies every day you are getting your C).
\n\u2022\tAlpha lipoic acid<\/a>
\n\u2022\tCo Q 10<\/a><\/p>\n

You may be wondering if you should take this whole list, every day, and that depends. If you have a worrisome family history of cancer (in some families, an inordinate number of people do get cancer), then I\u2019d try to come as close to the whole list as possible.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if your family risk is not particularly high, and you generally take good care of yourself, try to get at least one or two entries from this list every day.<\/p>\n

Important note: food source protection is better than pill source protection, but pill source protection is better than trying to extract a thimbleful of nutrition from a second-rate nutritional lifestyle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
