Less than optimal hormone levels are associated with some cancers. The cruciform vegetables, containing indol-3-carbinol, appear to reduce hormone dependent cancers such as prostate. The sulfur amino acids found in cruciform vegetables are also associated with a wide range of various cancer suppressions. A Harvard study found from 30% to 70% reduction of various cancers when these vegetables were consumed on a regular daily basis. Quercetin, found in onions and garlic has shown potent antioxidant and anti cancer properties. Tomato products, rich in lycopene, demonstrated a 34% reduced prostate cancer rate in a study done at Harvard on 47,894 men. The men consumed 10 or more servings of tomato products per week. In this case the cooked or processed tomato product proved more effective than the fresh tomatoes did. Generally fresh, raw outperforms the cooked or processed foods. There may also be carcinogens in the U.S. environment and in the raw food chain that confuse the results plus heating destroys many enzymes found in raw vegetables.Asians generally have a low rate of prostate cancer. When they come to the U. S. and consume our diet their prostate cancer rate goes up just like the rest of the population. Asian diets consist of more natural foods and especially those that are high in the omega 3's (coming from more fish and less meats). Because less meat is consumed there is less arachidonic acid. The EPA from fish and the arachidonic acid from meat compete for the same enzymes in the 5-LOX pathway. The metabolites of arachidonic acid stimulate cancer and its spread. The omega 3 (EPA) arrests or inhibits the development of cancer by reducing the 5-LOX product.The diet is important because CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is shown to inhibit cancer. There are many ingredients in the natural foods (raw vegetables) that are needed or influence the Led Street Light Waterproof IP66 assimilation of needed nutrients. They defend against cancer. Available in the natural food are anti-oxidants, flavenoids, enzymes, biocatalysts and unknown phytonutrients. Processed foods and modified foods and animal foods seem to come up short.Green tea with its catechins, turmeric, cumin, ginger, garlic, saw palmetto, pygeum have reported cancer inhibiting results. The beta glucans of mushrooms have shown very dramatic anti-cancer properties. Antioxidant vitamins A, C and E and minerals zinc and selenium all are important as anti inflammatory and immune building against cancer. John Hopkins Prostate Bullein reports that a large study demonstrated a 63% reduction in prostate cancer for men taking a selenium supplement.In a nutshell, a good diet rich in natural, unprocessed foods, adequate supplement levels, and heavy in the spices co-relates to a low incidence of rapid growing prostate cancer in numerous studies.
