"There's an explosion of compelling and consistent data associating
DIETS RICH IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WITH A LOWER CANCER RISK," said
epidemiologist Tim Byers, who studies the relationship between diet
and chronic disease at the CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL and PREVENTION
in Atlanta. .... All in all, at least 200 epidemiologic studies from
around the world have found a link between a plant-rich diet and a
lower risk for many types of tumors.

This powerful epidemiological evidence is being bolstered by newer
laboratory studies showing how functional components interfere with
carcinogenesis. "THESE [PLANT]COMPOUNDS SEEM TO INTERACT WITH EVERY
STEP IN THE CANCER PROCESS, MOSTLY SLOWING, STOPPING, or REVERSING
THEM," Dr. Potter said.

ABOUT FLAXSEEDS:
"Lignans occur in many foods, but are especially concentrated in
linseed (which are SEEDS FROM FLAX,). Lignans may have an antioxidant
effect and may block or suppress cancerous changes. ...flax is also
high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to protect against
colon cancer and heart disease."

ABOUT LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:
"In the 1970s, Dr. Pariza and his co-workers were investigating
possible carcinogens formed by grilling meat when they stumbled
across a substance that appeared to inhibit cancer instead of
contributing to it. This was conjugated linoleic acid, a form of an
essential fatty acid which is found in beef and in fat-containing
dairy products.[like low fat cottage cheese - JB does not recommend
meat in the diet]

"When Dr. Pariza tested the substance in animals that spontaneously
develop breast cancer, he found that the conjugated acid slows the
growth of cells that give rise to cancer. There is some laboratory
evidence that it does this by jump-starting the immune system, which
repels cancerous changes. This does not mean that people should 'chow
down on dairy fat," he emphasized. But it does suggest that moderate
consumption may be better than none at all.

ABOUT AVOIDING SUPPLEMENTS: [as Dr. Budwig recommends]
"Simply put," said nutrition and cancer expert Cheryl Rock, an
assistant professor at the University of Michigan, 'the best advice
is to eat real food instead of relying on supplements. If you just
take supplements, you simply don't get all of the compounds in foods
we're still learning about. We don't know yet if we should combine an
indole with an isoflavone, or folic acid with selenium. Right now,
only nature knows best."

ABOUT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:
"Recommendations from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and others
emphasize the importance of eating at least five to nine servings of
fruits and vegetables each day, aiming for a wide variety.

"A good rule of thumb is to eat at least three different colors of
fruits and vegetables every day. "We know, for example, that the red
pigment in tomatoes has completely different bioactive ingredients
than the orange pigment in carrots; the same is true for the
bioactive ingredients in citrus fruits versus those in the
cruciferous vegetables," said Dr. Hasler.

ABOUT GRAINS, NUTS, SEEDS AND LEGUMES:
"And be sure to eat other plant foods as well, said Dr.
Potter. "Grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes also contain a wide variety
of bioactive compounds."
