Guide To Amazing Cancer-Fighting Foods

Raspberries

Raspberries are known to help the body with fighting off precancerous and cancerous cells to prevent the development of malignancy. Black raspberries have a high content of a compound called ellagic acid, which is a natural relative to a drug called Tamoxifen, which is used in the treatment of some breast cancers. The vitamins, phenols, minerals, and phytosterols contained in black raspberries are known to inhibit the action of and reverse the effects of certain carcinogens in the body. In addition, black raspberries can halt or alter the expression of a wide range of genes implicated in the development processes of some forms of cancer. Genes affected by the actions of the compounds in black raspberries include those that involve cell movement, attachment, apoptosis, proliferation, and the formation of new blood vessels to feed growing tumors. Individuals affected by precancerous lesions that evolve into esophageal cancers and oral cancers have proven to reap benefit from the compounds in black raspberries.
