WELLNESS: Key Cancer-Fighting Foods In addition to reviewing the worldwide evidence on this subject, the Nutrinome Project, a project conducted in their own lab, has shown that raw extracts from certain fruits and vegetables inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells to varying degrees. Using medulloblastoma cancer cells (a very aggressive brain tumor), they showed that extracts of certain fruits and vegetables could inhibit the growth of these cancer cells in the following order: Brussels sprouts - ½ cup, Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage - ½ cup,Garlic - 2 cloves, Onions, shallots - ½ cup, Spinach, watercress - ½ cup, Soy (edamame, dry roasted beans) - ½ cup, Freshly ground flaxseeds - 1 tablespoon, Tomato paste - 1 tablespoon, Turmeric - 1 teaspoon, Black pepper - ½ teaspoon, Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries - ½ cup, Dried cranberries - ½ cup, Grapes - ½ cup, Dark chocolate (70 percent cacao) - 40 g Citrus juice - ½ cup, Green tea - three 250 ml servings, Red wine - 1 glass (5 ounces)
