Five Foods That Starve Cancer

40% of women age 40-50 have microscopic breast cancer!  50% of men, age 50-60 have microscopic prostate cancer!  By our 70s, almost 100% of us will have microscopic cancer in our thyroid glands!  We can live with harmless cancers in our bodies, but how do we get rid of both harmless and harmful cancer cells?

Starve cancer cells by eating!  According to Dr. William Lee, presented today on the Dr. Oz show, there are five superfoods that help our bodies fight off cancer.  The key is eating "anti-angiogenesis" foods.

The top five anti-angiogenesis foods are:
1.  Bok choy
2.  Cooked tomatoes (with a little olive oil on top)
    (Bonus points if they are San Marzano tomatoes.)
3.  Flounder
4.  Artichoke
5.  Strawberries

Other recommended foods are soybeans (pick a fermented soy as in miso soup), chocolate (YES, LOVE THIS LIST), cinnamon, salmon, halibut, brussel sprouts, leafy greens, and green tea (dunk the teabag to release the chemicals).

Eating apples?  Pick Red Delicious and Granny Smith.  Drinking?
Pick a wine grown in cooler climates for the most efficient cancer-busting results.  For more info, see doctoroz.com.

Between the chocolate, green tea and the wine, eating one a day should be no problem!  Here's to good health for all!
