Tomatoes, rich in lycopene, strongly correlate with a lower risk of breast cancer. Helpful bacteria and fatty acids found in yogurt inactivate the inflammatory prostaglandins and is superb for blocking cellular changes that initiate the cancer cascade. It is speculated that it is not the fat itself in yogurt that is a problem, but the hormones, antibiotics and organochlorides stored in the fat. Studies show a strong link between fat and breast cancer when the diet is high in linoleic acids, the main fatty acid in safflower, corn, soy and sunflower oils. These oils are unstable and go rancid shortly after extraction.
Rancid oil is a carcinogen.
Zinc is a good immune system nutrient, as is Ginseng which encourages production of interferon, phagocytes, antibodies and killer T-cells. Echinacea and astragalus are both excellent immune builders. High levels of inflammatory Prostaglandins are found in the blood and tumors of those with breast cancer. Cancer is an inflammatory process and quercitin and licorice root have known anti-inflammatory and immune stimulating properties. Women with tumors had higher levels of iron in their blood.
