Anti-Cancer Superfoods: Tofu May protect against: Breast and prostate cancers Works because: The isoflavones contained in soy beans have a gently estrogen-mimicking effect in the body. This may help block the effects of stronger estrogens, both natural and those from environmental chemicals from sources such as plastics and pesticides. This may reduce the risk of hormone-linked cancers in both women and men. Asian populations who eat tofu regularly have lower risks of these cancers. Tofu also contains powerful antioxidants that may help keep other cancers at bay. Tofu and other whole soy foods seem to offer protection, but highly processed soy, such as in supplements, has not been shown to reduce cancer risk.

Anti-Cancer Foods: Garlic May protect against: Stomach, colon, mouth and throat cancer. Works because: The smelly compounds in garlic are potent anti-cancer agents. All of the onion family, including leeks and shallots, contain these compounds, too. In lab studies, chemically induced cancers were interrupted by the active compounds formed from allicin (which comes from garlic). Studies in humans show a lower risk of several common cancers in those who eat lots of garlic, compared to those who eat none. To get the most out of garlic, chop or crush the clove and eat it raw or cook it lightly.

Anti-Cancer Foods: Broccoli May protect against lung, colon, breast, bladder, prostate cancer. Works because: The slightly bitter flavor of broccoli—and its cousins Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower—is thought to be the main reason for its impressive track record deterring cancer. In lab studies the bitter chemicals isothiocyanates and glucosinolates actually interfere with cancer progression by activating enzymes that inhibit cancer cells, and suppressing those that promote cancer.
