there is mounting scientific evidence that women who eat a diet rich in carotenoids have substantially lower risk of breast cancer. the most recent studies show that the nutrients that give fruits and vegetables their yellow, orange and red colors can offer breast cancer protection to women at any stage of life, even those who have already survived breast cancer. in separate studies, scientists from harvard and new york`s albert einstein college of medicine have confirmed the value of carotenoid-rich diets even for women with deadly invasive breast cancer. among the 5,450 postmenopausal women albert einstein researchers studied over an 8-year period, those who consumed the most carotenoid-laden vegetables cut their risk of invasive breast cancer nearly in half. the harvard study went a step further by concluding that carotenoid consumption might even protect premenopausal women who had been smokers. a study published earlier this year concludes that a carotenoid-rich diet can prevent breast cancer from returning. carotenoids are brightly colored fat-soluble pigments in fruits and vegetables that are part of the vitamin a molecule. as strong antioxidants, carotenoids protect cells and tissues from disease-causing oxygen free radicals. they are also known to strengthen immune function and cell-to-cell communication. beta-carotene, perhaps the best known in this family of more than 600 carotenoids, has been credited with life-extending provitamin a activity that helps boost the immune system, among other functions. get your carotenoids from any bright red, yellow or orange fruits or vegetable, including carrots, red peppers, tomatoes squash, pumpkin, peaches, apricots and sweet potatoes. they`re also found in spinach, kale and other dark green vegetables. cooking the foods can, in some cases, actually increase the bioavailability of carotenoids. lycopene, a carotenoid that has been shown to be protective in a number of hormonally related cancers, actually becomes more usable to the human body after it is cooked. you`ll find lots of lycopene in tomatoes, watermelon and papayas. researchers haven`t yet identified the specific cancer-protective property in carotenoid-rich foods, but their role in improving cell-to-cell communication is likely to have a role in the equation. carotenoids are believed to have a role in female reproduction, possibility-providing researchers with a clue to their breast cancer protective nature. eating foods containing animal-based vitamin a molecules called retinols have also been shown to protect against breast cancer. retinols are found in abundance in liver, butter and eggs. sources: mignone, li, giovannucci e, dietary carotenoids and the risk of invasive breast cancer.

houston—eating a daily dose of pistachios may help reduce the risk of lung and other cancers, according to data presented at the american association for cancer research frontiers in cancer prevention research conference, held dec. 6 to 9, 2009. “it is known that vitamin e provides a degree of protection against certain forms of cancer. higher intakes of gamma-tocopherol, which is a form of vitamin e, may reduce the risk of lung cancer,” said ladia m.

after johanna budwig's groundbreaking research, detailed in part i of this natural news budwig series, she put the budwig diet to the test on 4500 cancer victims over 50 years in germany. she had a 90% or more success rate, even with terminally ill patients. however, getting her diet out to the world was not as successful. now that johanna has passed on in 2003, she is not available to monitor her cancer curing protocol.
