36 foods that may help lower your cancer risk

Is there such a thing as a cancer-fighting food? Can certain foods prevent cancer?

Unfortunately, the answer is "no." There is no food that can stop cancer in its tracks or bring your risk of developing cancer to zero. Eating healthy food can reduce your risk, but it won't eliminate it.

"Cancer-fighting foods"

When you see a list of "cancer-fighting foods", they are often plant foods loaded with phytochemicals, also called phytonutrients. Phytochemicals are compounds found in plants that can help prevent chronic diseases like cancer.

The list is usually topped with berries, broccoli, tomatoes, walnuts, grapes and other vegetables, fruits and nuts.

"If you look at the typical foods that reduce cancer risk, it's pretty much all plant foods that contain phytochemicals," says Wohlford.

But she cautions shoppers not to focus on a specific list of "cancer-fighting" foods to the exclusion of other healthy foods in the produce section.

"Keep in mind that there are more than 4,000 phytochemicals that have been discovered and researched," she says. "There's not any one super-food that contains all of them. They all offer different functions and benefits."

A good way to add variety to your cancer-fighting food list is to make sure you include a variety of colors. You can get the most protection by eating a wide variety of plant foods.

Foods that can increase your cancer risk

Just as there are foods that can reduce your cancer risk, there are foods that can increase it. Make it a point to steer clear of these foods when you go shopping.

- Avoid processed meat. Processed meats like hot dogs, bacon and any meat you find at the deli counter, have compounds that cause cancer. Even processed meats that say they are “nitrate free” or “uncured” should be avoided.

- Limit red meat. Aim for no more than 18 ounces of cooked red meat per week. Instead, choose lean chicken, fish or plant-based protein.

- Avoid alcohol. Women should have no more than one serving of alcohol per day. Men should have no more than two servings of alcohol per day. Less is better.
