Introduction - Preventing Cancer
How toxic is Your Body?
Do you know we’re now living in a toxic chemical soup? Yes, there are toxins in the air you breathe, the water you drink and clothes you wear. Shockingly, eighty four thousand chemicals that are injurious to human health are sold and no one seems to care. Wonder what’s the reason for this?
The six billion pounds of BPA produced annually alone generates almost $8 billion in profits. Now it shouldn’t be surprising why no one’s stopping the major sources of chemical exposure that only adds to your body’s toxic load and ultimately leads to threatening medical conditions including cancer.
Another shocker is that almost 13,000 chemicals are being used in cosmetics alone and only 10% of the chemical ingredients are being evaluated for safety every year. Some of you might have noticed that overwhelming number of new ‘chemical’ constituents are being introduced in household cleaning products and many of them are not even tested on humans, so we don’t know the effects.
The fact is that we are surrounded by a pool of chemicals substances today and the recent stats are quite alarming. Modest estimates have suggested that we are exposed to more than 700,000 different toxic chemicals on a daily basis.
Scientists are now discovering that we need to know more about the health effects of ‘common’ synthetic chemicals we use at home or may be exposed to at work.
Even research from the University of California shows how the average person is being exposed to dangerous levels of cancer causing chemicals like arsenic. These toxins aren’t only made available to our body, organs, blood, and cells when we eat and drink them, but also when we breathe them or simply come in contact with them.
Exposure to toxic chemicals is contributing to a number of health problems, including breast cancer and respiratory illnesses to name just a few.
Our modern life is ruled by technology and it brings with it many conveniences. However this convenient lifestyle also exposes you and your family to increasing number of dangerous toxins including heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, and pollutants.
You also need to remember that chemicals affect infants and younger children more than older children or adults because the younger ones are developing much more rapidly and their organs are more sensitive. Everything a pregnant woman consumes is passed on to her fetus.

Chapter One: Foods to Prevent Cancer
Eating a healthy diet helps you maintain a healthy body weight which is important because obesity is the second most common cause of cancer after smoking. Studies also show that your diet can directly affect your cancer risk.
For example, processed and salt preserved foods increase your risk of developing cancer. On the other hand, fruits, vegetables and whole grains can reduce the risk of cancer.
You probably would have heard of antioxidants such as lycopene, beta carotene and vitamin C found in many fruits and vegetables that can lower your risk of cancer. A bunch of cancer busting chemicals from plants also known as phytochemicals can protect cells from harmful compounds in food and in the environment, as well as prevent cell damage and mutations.
10 Proven Foods to Help Prevent Cancer
A diet that contains plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grains and lean meat or fish can protect you and your family from cancer. So the question is – what foods should you add to your diet to give your body the best chance of avoiding cancer? The following are 15 proven foods you can add to your diet to prevent cancer and keep other medical conditions at bay.
⦁ Garlic
Garlic is stinky but the sulfur compounds that cause that awful odor are really effective when it comes to stopping cancer causing substances from forming in your body. Garlic also contains compounds that stimulate your body’s natural defense system and reduce tumor growth.
⦁ Broccoli
Broccoli is a well-known cancer-preventing super-food. You should eat broccoli frequently and the way to enjoy these healthy veggies is to eat it raw as a snack, or add it to soups and salads. You can also steam broccoli if you want to.
⦁ Brazil Nuts
Brazil nuts are rich sources of selenium. This trace mineral not only kills cancer cells but also helps your body cells repair their DNA. According to a study conducted by the University of Arizona, consuming 200 micrograms of selenium can reduce your risk of prostate tumor, colorectal cancers as well as a number of lung conditions.
⦁ Blueberries
Blueberries are known for their health benefits. These wonderful fruits (both when fresh and frozen) are packed with antioxidants and a host of other nutrients. Because the antioxidant power of blueberries isn’t affected by freezing, you can enjoy these fruits all year round.
While blueberries are known for their antioxidant action, it is important to know they provide excellent levels of vitamin K, fiber and essential minerals like copper and manganese. Health experts suggest that blueberries contain the highest concentration of antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. In addition to antioxidant activity, blueberries can also provide hydration to your body cells.
Pterostilbene, one of the most abundant antioxidant in blueberries can fight oxidative stress and at the same time, lower your risk of breast, colon, bladder, lung, and skin cancer.
⦁ Artichokes
Artichokes are a great source of silymarin, an antioxidant that may help prevent skin cancer. You can add boiled or steamed artichokes to your diet.
⦁ Wild Caught Salmon
Australian researchers found that people who ate four or more servings of salmon per week are less likely to develop leukemia, myeloma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Numerous other studies also show a strong link between eating fatty fish (salmon, mackerel) and reduced risk of endometrial cancer in women. This effect is mainly due to the high concentration of omega 3 fatty acids.
⦁ Kiwifruit
