Dr Oz: 5 Cancer Fighting Foods Prevent Cancer from Growing

Doctor Oz did a segment on How to Stop Cancer Growing Inside of You, and brought Dr. William Li, a Cancer Researcher at the Center for Biomedical Research, on the Dr Oz Show.  Dr. Li said that 2-3 servings of tomato a week can dramatically decrease your prostate cancer risks.  Dr. Li studies the use of food, as opposed to medicines manufactured in a lab, because many foods have natural ingredients that inhibit the growth of cancer.  5 Cancer Fighting Foods

Li told Dr Oz that it is not just the foods you eat, but also how you prepare it.  So what are the 5 foods that can prevent cancer from growing inside of you?

5 Cancer Fighting Foods

1.  Bok Choy

Bok Choy, or Chinese Cabbage, contains cancer fighting nutrients.  Dr. Li recommends that we eat a 1/2 cup, 3 times a week.

2.  Cooked Tomatoes

Both raw tomatoes and cooked tomatoes have lycopene, but if you heat the tomatoes with some olive oil for 30 minutes, the lycopene becomes twice as available for fighting off cancer.  You should eat 1/2 a cup of cooked tomatoes 2-3 times a week… so basically one ladle of tomato sauce on some pasta, yum!

3.  Flounder

Flounder is a mild white fish that is high in omega 3 fatty acids and are Anti-Angiogenic.  You should eat 3 servings of flounder a week, around a 6 ounce serving which is as much as you can fit in your hand.  I wonder why flounder is better than salmon, which is even higher in omega 3 fatty acids from what I understand?

4.  Strawberries

Strawberries are high in antioxidants, and the seeds of strawberries contain ellagic acid, which are both an antioxidant and an Anti-Androgenic.

5.  Artichokes

The portion of the artichoke that we eat is the flower and the bud.  Artichokes are similar to milk thistle, which is also very good for you.  You should aim to eat 1/4 cup of artichoke a day.

All of these are guidelines of course, and Dr Oz seemed to agree that the more you eat of these foods, the better it is for fighting off cancer.

    Just a clarification….I just watched a re-run of the show listing the 4 cancer fighting foods and they mentioned eating 6 ounces of fish 3 times a week. The fish that was recommended was halibut and salmon since both are high in omega 3. I also add flaxseed to my diet since that is another source of omega 3.

    Oh excellent… that answers my question regarding salmon then 🙂 … thank you so much for the clarification!

    When you state to eat artichokes, can we stick to the hearts of artichokes or is it the leaves we want to eat?

    Ted, I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, so I cannot tell you for sure… but I have never heard of anyone eating anything other than parts of the inside of the leaves and the artichoke hearts. Has anyone else heard otherwise?

    Don’t you mean ANTI-ANGIOGENIC? Anti-androgenic means these foods will block male hormones. Anti-angiogenic means they will aid in preventing tumors from forming new blood vessels. Which is it?

    Jasmin, you are totally correct. Sometimes spell check fails me, and this is one of those times! Thank you so much for pointing out the mistake, I’ll fix it right now 🙂

    Have you ever heard of “fucoidan”, I believe an herb, known in Japan to fight cancer? It has been highly recommended to me.

    Larry, that is fascinating! What cancer does the Fucoidan herb help with? And how do you take it? As a tea?

    Isn’t fucoidan a seaweed? Do you boil or fry it and eat it?

    Cocoa – I’m not sure how you cook fucoidan – why do you ask? Is it a cancer fighting food as well?

    Larry, I have also heard of fucoidan from a friend but he buys a supplement and not the actual brown seaweed. I believe it’s called Umino Shizuku, even though she said that this product is a little bit pricey, it has helped a lot. The tumor on her left side of her brain has shrunk big time and not only that, she’s really energetic rather than having no energy to do anything.
