7. Berries
Although it appears that black raspberries are superior when it comes to cancer fighting abilities, all berries contain phytonutrients and ellagic acid, which stop tumors from growing.
Berries have more disease and cancer fighting abilities than you can imagine, and they just seem to keep multiplying the more we study them. Research shows that they provide protection from heart disease, memory decline, as well as protection from cancer. Berries not only slow the growth of cancer cells, but they have been shown in studies to ramp up enzymes in the body that destroy substances that cause cancer and prevent the growth of tumors. Strawberries and black raspberries seemed to have the biggest impact when talking about colon cancer cells.
However, all berries deserve a place on your plate as they all have anticancer properties. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cranberries all have powerful antioxidants and help to reduce inflammation in the body. Eating berries vastly decreases the risk of developing lung cancer, stomach, mouth, and cancer of the esophagus. This is according to hundreds of clinical studies that have been conducted for both the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Find ways to add organic berries to your meals daily and reap the wide range of anti-cancer benefits they have to offer. You can’t go wrong, no matter which berry you choose.

Turmeric has no side effects I hope so, but I saw an article this past week that it has oxylates in it which can lead to kidney stones. Any thoughts on that please?
