Here's a table summarising how the main nutracetuticals discussed in the FTFC book work.

eleven foods and 5 ways they can help tackle cancer.

If you are cutting back on milk / cheese for reasons of fear of the dairy industry and its many additives / omega 6 overdosing, you might need to know more about foods that have high calcium levels .. tho tbh I eat a calcium supplement most days!
