Today is another episode with “Cancer Cure? _______”. Once again I am bringing you knowledge from the newsletters I am subscribed to and today we have a new cancer fighter, our very own kitchen! No, I don’t mean that you have to stay in kitchen to get cured or anything like that, but I just want to point out that taken for granted ingredients in the kitchen are often overlooked as cancer fighters. And as the title of this post points out they are cabbage, onions, raspberries and olives.

And without further ado, here are the words of wisdom about cancer and I quote:

Cabbage is high in glucosinolates, which are anticarcinogenic compounds. A study of hundreds of Polish American women found that those who consumed four or more servings of raw or lightly cooked cabbage per week were 72% less likely to develop breast cancer than those who had 1-2 servings. If cabbage isn’t your thing, good substitutes are Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale and broccoli.

Onions are high in quercetin, and a Finnish study showed that men who ate them frequently were 60% less likely do develop lung cancer than those who ate smaller amounts. Quercetin also appears to reduce risk for liver and colon cancers. Other foods high in quercetin are apples, capers, and both green and black tea.

Raspberies, and almost any berries for that matter contain anti-inflammatory compounds that can reduce cell damage which can lead to cancer. Raspberries are higher in fiber than most others, and recent studies have shown that they inhibit both oral and liver cancer cells. Frozen berries with less water generally contain a higher concentration of these protective compounds.

Olives contain compounds that have been shown in lab studies to prevent the formation of cancer cells, and also contribute to the death of these cells. People who eat them as a part of the mediterranean diet have been less likely to develop colon cancer as well.
