Title: 15 Foods That Reduce Your Cancer Risk
Header: To help you choose health-protecting foods.
Every year, almost 11 million people receive a cancer diagnosis. Science hasn 't developed a cure, but has discovered many cancer-causing substances and those that thwart its growth. According to The American Institute for Cancer Research (http://www.aicr.org/), there are foods that reduce your cancer risk directly and indirectly. Those that reduce risk directly contain cancer fighting compounds. Those that act indirectly will help with weight control and other conditions that raise your cancer risk. A risk reducing diet adds cancer fighting foods while limiting red meat, processed foods and refined sugar. Luckily, this doesn 't mean going hungry. …show more content…
However, honey has other substances that trigger cell apoptosis, also known as cell death. With honey, cancer cells die while leaving neighboring cells unmolested. Honey impedes cancer 's spread and speeds tumor destruction while suppressing chronic inflammation. Extracts are effective against colon and bladder cancer, but the flowers that bees source can change honey 's anti-cancer profile. Dark honeys have higher phenol concentrations than other varieties. Raw and locally sourced varieties retain more of their benefits than mass produced …show more content…
However, it 's the oleic acid that makes avocados one of the foods that lower your cancer risk. Research indicates that the fat in avocados protects you from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by targeting the stem cells that turn into cancer cells at maturity. In addition to fighting leukemia, an avocado 's fiber protects against colorectal cancers and those associated with obesity.
Coffee
Studies have shown that drinking four or more caffeinated cups a day reduces oral and uterine cancers. Drinking six cups a day can lower your prostate, brain and breast cancer risks. A study a Boston 's Brigham and Women Hospital found that coffee drinkers were less likely to develop basal cell carcinomas, a form of skin cancer. Men can lower their prostate cancer risk by drinking five cups a day but both genders lower their liver cancer risks with three or more cups a day.
Olive oil
When cooking foods that reduce your cancer risk, use olive oil. Olive oil contains a polyphenol called oleocanthal that blocks cancer growth in laboratory tests. The oil 's oleiropein makes cancer cells commit suicide and a study in 2015 showed that olive oil lowers breast cancer risk by 62 percent. Another compound in olive oil, squalene, may fight skin cancer. Participants in the 2015 study consumed four tablespoons of olive oil per
