Diet rich in fibre content (like vegetables, cereals like wheat, bran etc,) helps decrease the risk of colonic cancer, whereas foods like smoked fish and fatty foods & red meats are associated with increased risk of gastric and colonic cancers respectively. Also antioxidants like vitamin A and C play a vital role in preventing formation of cancers. Alcohol is also known to be a risk factor in certain Gastrointestinal malignancies.

For actual food, probably kale is your best bet. Broccoli comes pretty close too. The vegetables aren't really good sources of vitamin E, though. Maybe kale sauteed in olive oil? Does that still count as a single food?\n\nYou can always cheat and use fortified breakfast cereals, I'm not sure that would count as the nutrients aren't naturally occurring.

Food is made up of various macronutrients. It is measured in grams. Eat lots of veggies. They have the most fiber. Lettuce for example has little else but fiber. Take a suppliment if you have to. Try to get 40 grams a day. Make sure you have at least 1 bowel movement a day too. This is important for colon health.

A study reported in a recent issue of the journal Cancer Research suggests that eating a diet full of beans, nuts and cereals may help prevent cancer. This is because these foods contain an active compound that inhibits the growth of cancers.\n\nScientists found the anti-cancer agent called inositol pentakisphosphate at the University College London. The scientist were cited by Reuters as saying the substance, also found in lentils and peas, may direct researchers to develop new drugs against cancer.\n\nThe compound, as explained by the scientists, acts upon an enzyme called phosphoinositide 3-kinase and inhibits tumor growth.\n\nIn the current study, the scientists proved the anti-cancer properties of inositol pentakisphosphate in mice and cancer cells in the laboratory. It was found that this compound killed tumor cells and boosted the effect of drugs used against cancer cells such as ovarian and lung cancer cells.\n\nAccording to the study, the compound is non-toxic, which allows it to be used at high concentrations to aid chemotherapy.\n______________________________________________\nThe second link lists the top ten anti cancer foods as well... I personally think sweet potato on there...but oh well.

It depends on the diet.  I have a cousin who is a die-hard vegan (no dairy, eggs, fish, etc.) and she suffers from more health issues than anyone I know.  Cancer, long-lasting colds, flu, shingles...

My opinion is that everything causes cancer now days.  It seems as if there is nothing healthy out there.  I am going to continue to use my cell phone, smoke cancer sticks, and drink cancer causing sugar substitues in my tea.   I mean really, what can we do.

While not a health food, we don't need to feel guilty about a little chocolate.  Most info I've found says that there are antioxidants in cacao (basic ingregient in chocolate) that are thought to help prevent heart disease and cancer but that more proof is needed.  The sugar used to make the cacao less bitter may not be so good for our health, but happy feeling that something so yummy gives me can't be bad for relieving the stress of cancer.

definatly ask a preofessional dietician. i recommend organic food. more whole grains in your diet, veggies, and whole fruits. youre plan looks really vague. eat more of your whole grains earlier in the day, so your body burns them off through out the day.

Different varieties of fruit are good. So are bagels, English muffins, waffles, pancakes, eggs, potatoes fried in extra virgin olive oil, and there are lots of other things you could think up.
