ALMONDS (Prunus dulcis)
Their phytochemicals-protease inhibitors, phytate, genistein, lignans and benzaldehyde-that are anti-
cancer.
APPLES
Raw and cooked apples, fresh-pressed apple cider, and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar are
particularly good ways to get the anti-cancer benefits of apples.
APRICOTS/APRICOT PITS
Apricots, especially when dried, are an exceptional source of anti-cancer carotenes. The standard daily
dose is one apricot or peach pit for every ten pounds/4.5 kilograms of body weight.
BARLEY/BARLEY GRASS
Like all seeds (grains and beans are seeds), barely is a good source of protease inhibitors and lignans.
Barely grass, often sold in tablets, is rich in carotenes and chlorophyll.
BEANS
Dried (not green) beans are a superb ally for women concerned about breast cancer. Dried beans offer
cancer-inhibiting enzymes that prevent the initiation and recurrence of breast cancer. They contain or
stimulate production of genistein, protease inhibitors, lignans, phytosterols, fatty acids. One cup 250 ml
of cooked or canned beans daily is ideal. To reduce gas, soak beans overnight and discard water before
cooking them.
BEETS/BEETROOT
Extract of beet root kills cancer cells in the laboratory. Grated raw beets nourish the liver and strengthen
immunity.
BROCCOLI
Not only an exceptional source of anti-cancer chlorophyll, carotenes, protease, inhibitors, lutein,
indoles, sulforaphane, glucosinolates, and dithiolthiones, broccoli is also extraordinarily good at blocking
cancer initiation and a powerful ally for women choosing radiation therapy.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS
(Yes, the same botanical name as broccoli, cabbage, collards, cauliflower, and kale. The miniature
cabbages are an exceptionally good source of protease inhibitors, glucosinolates, and lutein.
