I’m always posting on my facebook page various foods to try
and their health benefits. Dr. Oz put together a grocery list of cancer
fighting foods that I wanted to share with you. I have listed the foods and
where in the grocery store you can find them, but you can get the full details
of each by going directly to the article, Shopping for
the Cancer Cure. I have also added a few others found in “Chef MD’s Big
Book of Culinary Medicine”, and a published article “Fisetin,
a Flavanol Found in Strawberries, Grapes, Mangos and Green Tea, is
Antiangiogenic”, Published online ahead of print on January 2, 2012.
Dr. Oz states, “There are cancer-fighting foods at your
grocery store that contain natural substances that work by cutting off the
blood supply feeding cancer cells. Without a blood supply, cancers can’t grow.
This is called anti-angiogenesis (angiogenesis is the term for the process our
bodies use to grow its blood vessels).”
Of course, there are many other foods, but these made the
top of the list within the above mentioned sources.

I'm so happy to see some of my grocery staples on this list! I always have blueberries, strawberries, spinach, peppers and bananas on hand, but I'm seeing some things I need to stock up on! I've been hearing a lot of good things recently about ginger--do you know any good kinds of ginger tea?
I eat just about every thing on this list! The only thing i do not like on this list is the soy! Soy is not a health food & shouldnt be consumed unless its organic( so its non gmo) Even than i still think its unhealthy to drink, or it needs it be fermented.
So many of these are on my list! :)
I've never tried Papaya in a smoothie before! I'll have to try that!
