Shopping for potential cancer preventers
A Washington Post piece reviews promising cancer preventers from diet. Beta carotene from carrots and yellow orange produce may act as antioxidants and link to lower risks for lung breast and skin cancers. Other carotenoids like lycopene in tomatoes show potential, while cruciferous vegetables and garlic may aid detoxification and lower certain cancers. High fiber diets also correlate with reduced colon cancer risk, possibly through dilution of carcinogens or lowering bile acid promoters.
