Diet is a very, very important factor when it comes to the subject of cancer awareness and prevention. Cancer can manifest (or not) as a result of what you have been putting on your plate day in day out: To be cancer-free it is vital to avoid certain foods. Naturally, diet becomes more critical for cancer sufferers.

Here are some examples of a cancer causing diet. So it is necessary to avoid the following.

1.Dairy Products:

Insulin growth factor (IGF) in dairy such as cow's milk is known to lead to breast & prostate cancer. Other sources of calcium can be found in things like green and rice milk. The immune system can also be compromised thought dairy products.

2. Animal protein. E.g. meat:

A peri-cellular coating or outer layer protects cancer cells. The enzymes called trypsin and chymotrypsin produced from the pancreas break down this outer layer. The cancer cells can then be destroyed. However, when meat is eaten, the pancreatic enzymes from the pancreas are more involved in the digestion of meat instead of breaking down the cancer cell's outer protective layer. Couple this with the fact that a lot of meat, particularly that of the processed sort, has much chemical toxicity, this renders an individual more susceptible to cancer.

3. Processed & fried foods:

Contain many chemicals, flavour enhancers, preservatives...The food have been denatured & therefore has poor nutritional value. These foods have been known to cause DNA injury, leading to cancer.

4. Refined sugar / Artificial sweeteners. E.g. Nutrasweet and aspartame.

Promotes the cancer processes of uncontrolled rapid cell division. Sugar can lead to cancer of the ovaries, breast, prostate & rectum. Can severely reduce the biochemical formation of vitamin B complexes. Also is capable of interfering with the pancreatic production of trypsin and chymotrypsin enzymes. All if taken on the long term & in large amounts can greatly increase the likelihood of cancer happening.

5. Cafeinated drinks and alcohol:

Go easy on stimulants like tea and alcohol. However, green tea is very good. 6. Unclean water and toothpaste with fluoride. Toiletries with toxic chemicals like sodium laurethsulphate should also be avoided like the plague:

Chloride, fluoride, toiletries and other chemicals in tap water are metabolic poisons.

Active / passive smoking:

At risk of lung cancer...

It should be noted that the above dietary table is not an exhaustive account of what shouldn't be eaten. There are many good websites and books on cancer awareness and prevention
