In Foods To Fight Cancer Prof Beliveau and Dr Gingas have 11 chapters on foods they call nutraceuticals: foods which are specifically good at targetting cancer. I'm going to do a little thread on each one which sums up the value of the particular food or food group and then where we can add our own comments or recipes etc for each one.

Citrus Fruitsput a bit of zest in your life I suppose we all know that they are! oranges lemons grapefruit mandarin (and tangerines etc etc) Summary p142 1. Not just a source of vitamin C and minerlas, but several other phytochemicals which act directly on cancerous cells to stop their progression. 2. They have a strong anti-inflammatory action and can modify the impact of other substances, enhancing the anti-cancer effect of other foods. 3. Aim to eat some of the whole fruit or citrus juice every day.

If you are taking statins you have to be careful with grapefruit, but I guess you'd know that if it applied to you ..
I usually take my citrus in salad dressings, generally lemon but I also like orange with certain leaves, such as chicory and watercress. We also aim to have grapefruit at breakfast twice a week.

I realise we did not do this .. I find the acidity just too hard with my post-treatment innards .. I am so often queasy in the morning ..
