varz de Bruxelles, varza crea s-au dovedit n unele
studii facute pe animale i oameni in a preveni cancerul:
de sn, plmn, colorectal, de prostat, cancerul de
vezic urinar [6]. Varza de Bruxelles, varza, varza creata
si broccoli inhiba, de asemenea, proliferarea cancerului n
liniile celulare: in cancerul de stomac, cancerul
pancreatic, meduloblastom si glioblastom. [3] Varza de
Bruxelles i alte crucifere contin un puternic agent anti
cancerigen denumit sulforafan precum izotiocianatul
antioxidant si glucozinolat, care poate detoxefia celulele
cancerigene i blocheaza cretere tumorii. [7, 8]

Spanacul

Spanacul contine compusi care elimina radicalii

liberi, denumiti carotenoide, luteina si zeaxantina,
care se gsesc, de asemenea i n alte legumele cu
frunze verzi. Aceste carotenoide inhiba cresterea
celulelor cancerigene, acioneaz ca antioxidani
i mbuntete rspunsul auto imun. [8] Un
studiu (NIH) -AARP denumit Dieta si Sanatate pe
490.000 oamenii a descoperit ca persoanele care
consumau cantitati mai mari de spanac au avut un
risc mai mic de cancer esofagian. [9]

Sparangelul

Sparanghelul conine compusi fitochimici ca

saponine, care au un puternic efect antitumoral i

proaspt, dar ridicat dup uscarea lui. Ghimbirul
de asemenea, a dovedit a fi un inhibitor puternic
pentru celulele cancerului pulmonar, printr-o alt
component picant, 6-gingerol. [15]

Vegetalebogate in
clorofil

Alimentele verzi, cum este chlorella, spirulina,

spanacul, rucola i iarba de gru/orz, contin
clorofil, un fitonutrient care este cunoscut pentru
proprietile sale de detoxifiere. Clorofila se leaga
de toxinele care sunt cauzatoare de cancer,
eliminndu-le. [16] Cercetrile arat c alimentele
bogate in clorofil reduc cresterea celulelor
tumorale din cancerul de colon si oral.
[17]

Turmenicul

Condimentul Indian turmeric are o component

care lupt mpotriva cancerului, denumit
curcumin, care a avut rezultate promitoare in
multe studii pe animale i pe celulele canceroase
umane. Acesta funcioneaz prin direcionarea
funciei pe tulpina celulelor de cancer, care este
esenial pentru ca determin stoparea recidivrii
celulelor canceroase i a rezistenei la
medicamente. [18] Proprietile anti-cancer ale
curcuminei au actionat in celulele stem canceroase
colorectale [19] i n triplele celule negative in
cancerul de san [20].

Uleiul de
msline

Una dintre componentele dietei mediteraneene,

uleiul de msline, este cunoscut a avea proprieti
anti-cancer prin mai multe componente: acidul
oleic, acidul gras mononesaturat, scualen i

oncogen cancerul de sn.
Her2. [22]

Ciupercile

O varietate de ciuperci ca Shiitake, reishi, maitake

i cordyseps au proprietati anti-cancer. S-a
demonstrat c shiitake este citotoxic pentru
celulele de cancer de sn i are efectele
antitumorale prin stimularea sistemului imunitar.
[23] Polizaharida beta-glucan din Maitake s-a
dovedit in vitro, a fi un puternic citotoxic pentru
celulele cancerului de prostat. [24]

Seeweedalge maro

Seeweed conin fucoidan, care inhib celulele

canceroase din colon si celulele melanomului. [25]
Fucoidan lucreaz ntr-o varietate de moduri, i
inhib creterea tumorii, apoptoza celulelor
canceroase, i lucreaza sinergic cu chimioterapia.
[26]

Afinele

Afinele conin un compus nrudit cu resveratrolul,

pterostilbenul, care suprim prejudiciul facut prin
iradiere. Acest compusul s-a dovedit a inhiba
celulele tijei hepatom. [27] Fitochimicalele din afine
au demonstrat c inhib creterea metastazei
celulelor cancerului de san.
[28]

Roiile

Tomatele, conin un antioxidant numit licopen,

care a fost asociat cu activitatea anticancerigen.
Licopenul inhib creterea celulelor hepatom i
protejeaz mpotriva cancerului de prostat. [29,
30]

Strugurii

Strugurii sunt bogai in resveratrol si un aport

regulat a demonstrat c limiteaz raspandirea
cancerului de colon precum i mpiedicarea
creterii celulelor. [31] Resveratrolul ca antioxidant
si anti-mutagen, previne creterea celulelor
cancerigene, n cancerul de piele si n
carcinogeneza glandei mamare.[32] Resveratrolul
se gaseste si in vin rou, afine, arahide, afine, i
fistic.

Fasolea i
leguminoasele

Fasolea contine o serie de componente care sunt

benefice. Saponinele au un efect antitumoral
puternic, si inhiba hranirea cu nutrieni a tumorii si
creterea vaselor de snge din tumori i previn
metastaza celulelor canceroase. [33] O alt
componenta a fasolei, acidul fitic, ncetinete
progresia tumorii. De asemenea, vitamina B /
acidul folic din fasole este benefic n prevenirea
creterii celulelor cancerului de pancreas. [34]
Fasolea verde(lintea) inhib proliferarea celulelor
cancerului de stomac i de sn, a celulelor
meduloblastome si celulelor glioblastome. [3]

Chimenul
negru

Seminele de chimen negru si uleiul lor au

uimitoare efectele asupra sntii i sunt peste
700 evaluri despre benefciile lor. Studiile
documentate arat ca ingredientul activ,
timoquinone, lucreaz printr-o serie de mecanisme
pentru a ataca celulele canceroase prin uciderea
acestora n mod direct, prevenind metastazele.[35]
S-a dovedit c produce efecte antitumorale pentru
cancerul pancreatic, de prostat, de colon i
cancerul pulmonar i pot fi utilizate n combinaie
cu chimioterapia convenional, reducnd
toxicitatea acesteia. [35, 36]

Morcovii

Morcovii sunt bogai in beta-caroten, un

antioxidant care nfrneaz creterea celulelor
cancerigene i protejeaz membranele celulare
