Scientists have recently confirmed, yet again, that long-term lack of oxygen in cells is the key driver of cancer growth. Who says so now? Dr. Ying Xu, Regents-Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar and professor of bioinformatics and computational biology in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. His study was published in the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology in … Continue reading The Key Drivers of Cancer Growth Are?
Reduce your risk of breast cancer by 21% by simply eating one more serving of veggies a day
According to research, eating more vegetables daily can help lower your risk of developing breast cancer by as much as 21 percent. The paper, which was published in the European Journal of Cancer, analyzed various studies via meta-analysis to confirm if women who followed diets high in fruit and vegetables did have a lower risk of developing breast cancer. … Continue reading Reduce your risk of breast cancer by 21% by simply eating one more serving of veggies a day
Lycopene, the pigment that gives tomatoes their color, is one of the most powerful anti-cancer agents yet discovered
Whether or not tomatoes are your favorite part of a salad (or pizza), there are certainly good reasons to include as many of them in your diet as possible. One of the greatest reasons is the fact that the lycopene that gives tomatoes their beautiful color is one of the most potent anti-cancer agents yet discovered … Continue reading Lycopene, the pigment that gives tomatoes their color, is one of the most powerful anti-cancer agents yet discovered
Boron, a trace mineral, found to be a potent cancer-preventing substance
What’s the common denominator between arthritis and prostate cancer? The answer is boron.

Curcumin, when given in combination with drugs for lung cancer, reduces drug resistance, increasing their effectiveness
Shortness of breath, a hoarse voice, and persistent cough are warning signs you shouldn’t ignore. They’re the most common signs of lung cancer, the second leading type of the disease in the U.S. Patients may acquire resistance to anti-cancer drugs after an average survival period of seven to nine months. The cancer progresses, patients suffer … Continue reading Curcumin, when given in combination with drugs for lung cancer, reduces drug resistance, increasing their effectiveness
Cancer cells use sugar to divide; starving them of sugar can slow their progression
Researchers have discovered a mechanism that explains how reducing sugar can cause cancer cells to die. The study, which was published in the online journal Science Signaling, presented a novel cell death pathway through introducing how depriving cancer cells of sugar can trigger a reaction that causes them to die. This research builds on earlier scientific literature that indicates that cancer cells that … Continue reading Cancer cells use sugar to divide; starving them of sugar can slow their progression
Olive oil halts growth of breast cancer tumors
Olive oil may help prevent and even fight breast cancer, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain, and published in the journal Carcinogenesis. The researchers found that olive oil appeared to protect rat DNA from the damage that can lead to cancer. Furthermore, it seemed to deactivate key proteins … Continue reading Olive oil halts growth of breast cancer tumors
5 foods and spices to keep your immune system strong when fighting cancer
Good nutrition not only prevents certain diseases, it can be used to fight them off as well. With the American Cancer Society expecting around 1,688,780 new cases of cancer to be diagnosed this year (and around 600,920 of them dying from the disease), it may prove useful to know specific ways to combat the disease. The easiest, and perhaps … Continue reading 5 foods and spices to keep your immune system strong when fighting cancer
