Different foods appear to hone in on different types of cancer. When you eat a variety of foods, you get the synergistic effect from all the nutrients working together as a team which is more powerful than one food, one nutrient.
Here are some specific anti-cancer foods to toss in your grocery cart:
1. The Vitamin D/Calcium combo: including low fat versions of milk, yogurt and cheese plus foods fortified with calcium and vitamin D such as orange juice and cereals.

2. Cruciferous veggies: this is the cabbage family including cauliflower, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage.

3. High fiber foods of all types: from whole grains such as whole grain breads and high fiber cereals to beans, lentils, fruits and vegetables.

4. Fruit and vegetables: don’t forget to choose tomatoes, tomato products, grapes and berries for the antioxidants and phytonutrients they contain such as lycopene, the red color in tomatoes.

5. Onions and garlic: you always knew those smells and taste had to be good for something!

6. Fish: such as salmon and tuna for omega-3s to fight inflammation.

7. Tea: try black, green and other varieties such as red rooibos.
