7.Berry

Berries may be among the most beneficial fruits to eat for cancer prevention.Research is providing new evidence that berries not only contain strong antioxidants that help to prevent cell damage that precedes cancer.they also appear to affect genes that are associated with inflammation and the growth of cancer.

All berries feature high levels of phytonutrients, which are known to offer protection against cancer. Black raspberries could be the cream of the crop though, as they contain a great deal of a particular phytochemical called anthocyanin. Anthocyanin has been found to slow the growth of premalignant cells. It also prevents the growth of new blood vessels that would feed the resulting tumor.

Berries seem to especially protect against colon, esophageal, oral, and skin cancers. Scientific studies typically use concentrated berry powder, but adding a few servings of fresh or frozen berries to your daily diet is also quite beneficial.
