Cancer does not “like” vitamin C and E.
Which foods are considered anti-cancer?
Do not eat too much French fries - they provoke cancer!
Some of the products actually neutralize carcinogens. They either bind to harmful substances or reduce their impact on the body. Especially noteworthy are fresh fruits and vegetables, bread from coarse flour. Dairy foods rich in calcium also counteract the development of certain tumors.
Recent studies show a clear link between high risk of developing cancer and low vitamin A and beta-carotene in the human body. Japanese scientists have shown that among people who have increased daily consumption of carrots, spinach, red pepper, squash and salads for 5 years, mortality from stomach cancer has decreased by 25%. All these products contain beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. The inclusion in the diet of fruits rich in vitamin C prevents the formation in the body of the most common carcinogens that are formed from nitrates in food.
We need 100-150 mg of vitamin C, so that we can fully manifest preventive properties.
Important role in cancer prevention is vitamin E. It is found in unrefined vegetable oils, wheat germ and nuts. In culinary processing vitamin E is retained. It only destroys fat rancidity by the action of sunlight and oxygen. This should be considered for storage of vegetable oils.

After all, the pills do no worse with avitaminosis of food … Therefore, most physicians tend to believe that anticancer effect of not providing the vitamins and their effect on the complex with minerals and polyphenols, pectins and other useful components of plants.
