Cancer Fighting Foods

A lot of us have a fear of getting cancer. Cancer is one of the scariest deceases. But, there are ways to decrease your chances of getting cancer by eating certain foods. Whole grains, vitamins and minerals  help fight cancer. Phytochemicals can be found in wild blueberries, black currents, muscadine grape juice, black rice, unpolished brown basmati rice, jasmine rice and black pasta. Phytochemicals are the active health-protecting compounds that are found as components of plants. A list of other cancer fighting foods can be found at The American Institute For Cancer Research.
