Tip #8: Raspberries

Ellagic acid, found in many different berries, confers three cancer-fighting abilities on raspberries: detoxification of cancer causing chemicals in the body; antioxidant ability to prevent cellular damage by free-radicals; and ability to actually slow the growth of cancer cells. Fresh is best, and organic when possible; in the off-season, keep a bag of frozen berries on hand for dessert!

Wow! I just wrote about a new diet book targeted for women who have (or had) breast cancer called the Pink Ribbon diet. The foods that are recommended are very similar to that of the Mediterranean Diet: rich in vitamins/minerals, EFAs, detoxifying, minimizes visceral fat etc.

I just want to add that I cook with tofu quite often, and basically grew up eating it - funny I hated it as a kid but love it now. I've got a delicious recipe I invented for what I call "Tofu Steaks", mmm...
