Strawberries vs. Esophageal Cancer

A randomized phase II clinical trial on the ability of strawberries to reverse the progression to esophageal cancer.



Carnitine, Choline, Cancer, & Cholesterol: The TMAO Connection

Expanding on the subject of my upcoming appearance on The Dr. Oz Show, a landmark new article in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that choline in eggs, poultry, dairy, and fish produces the same toxic TMAO as carnitine in red meat—which may help explain plant-based protection from heart disease and prostate cancer.



Cancer, Interrupted: Garlic and Flavonoids

Garlic and flavonoid phytonutrients found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains appear to protect against DNA damage induced by mutagenic chemicals found in cooked meat.



Cancer, Interrupted: Green Tea

Using the cooked meat carcinogen PhIP to turn normal breast cells cancerous, researchers explore the use of green tea to interrupt this malignant transformation.



Reducing Cancer Risk in Meat-Eaters

Those who eat meat risk food poisoning from undercooked meat, but also exposure to cooked meat carcinogens in well-cooked meat. By boiling meat, non-vegetarians can mediate their risk of both.



PhIP: The Three-Strikes Breast Carcinogen

The cooked meat carcinogen PhIP—found in fried bacon, fish, and chicken—may not only trigger cancer and promote tumor growth, but also increase its metastatic potential, by increasing its invasiveness.



Treating Gorlin Syndrome with Green Tea

Gorlin Syndrome, also known as basal cell nevus syndrome, is a rare genetic condition in which one’s body becomes covered in skin cancers. An astounding case is reported of a woman suffering from the syndrome, whose cancer progression was apparently reversed with topical green tea body wraps.



Breast Cancer Survival and Soy

All three human studies on soy and breast cancer survival suggest that soy in sufficient amounts may improve survival in women diagnosed with breast cancer.



Breast Cancer Survival & Lignan Intake

One teaspoon of flax seeds may double one’s daily production of lignans—phytonutrients that appear to play a role in both breast cancer prevention and survival.



Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat

Breast cancer survivors may reduce their chances of survival if they eat too much trans fat, found primarily in the American diet in junk food and animal products.



Breast Cancer Survival, Butterfat, & Chicken

Breast cancer survivors may reduce their chances of survival if they eat too much saturated fat, found primarily in the American diet in cheese, chicken, and junk food.



Raw Broccoli & Bladder Cancer Survival

The effect of raw and cooked broccoli consumption on survival rates of bladder cancer patients.



Breast Cancer Prevention: Which Mushroom is Best?

Wood ear, crimini, oyster, Italian brown, enoki, button, stuffing, shiitake, chanterelle, and portobello mushrooms were compared to see which was best at inhibiting aromatase enzyme activity.



Vegetables vs. Breast Cancer

Mushrooms may help prevent breast cancer by acting as an aromatase inhibitor to block breast tumor estrogen production.



Cancer Prevention & Treatment May Be the Same Thing

Breast cancer can take decades to develop, so early detection via mammogram may be too late.



Slowing the Growth of Cancer

Researchers discovered a dietary intervention that may slow the progression of cancer.
