DESCRIPTION: Plant-based diets help prevent cancer not only by blocking DNA damage but by increasing our DNA repair enzymes' ability to repair any damage that gets by our first line of antioxidant defense. This is the second video of a three-part series about the latest discoveries on kiwi fruit. See yesterday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day also (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/kiwifruit-for-irritable-bowel-syndrome/). Other ways to protect one's DNA include eating broccoli (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dna-protection-from-broccoli/), avoiding bacon (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/carcinogens-in-the-smell-of-frying-bacon/), not overdoing stevia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-stevia-good-for-you/), and eating a plant-based diet in general. See Repairing DNA Damage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/repairing-dna-damage/) and Research Into Reversing Aging (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/research-into-reversing-aging/).  In tomorrow's video Plant-Based Diets and Cellular Stress Defenses (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diets-and-cellular-stress-defenses) we'll see if we can break through that kiwi ceiling! In the meanwhile, there are lots (and I mean lots) of other videos to peruse at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/kiwifruit-and-dna-repair/ and he'll try to answer it!
