More on cancer prevention

In my research on cancer prevention I’ve found a list [1] of foods that ‘increase the anti-cancer effects’ of chemotherapy drugs.

It appears to follow then that these foods have anti-cancer effects of their own, and so we should eat a diet including lots of these things (without going overboard on any of them).

They are:
apples*
salad greens such as rocket (arugula), mustard greens, watercress
green vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale
berries, such as blueberries, cranberries,
cauliflower
celery
leeks and onions
grapes and grape juice
green tea, red tea
horseradish, turmeric**
fish, such as mackerel, salmon, wild sardines (but avoid fish oil)
olive oil

*Apple seeds contain vitamin B17, said to be a powerful anti-cancer chemical (see, for example

    http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/aspreventative.html

. Eating a lot of apple seeds is probably going to poison you, but eating the seeds of an apple you’re eating could be a good idea.

**Turmeric is supposed to protect the brain from chemotherapy [1], so it stands to reason it probably protects the brain from other toxic chemicals.
