Are there other factors I should know to avoid prostate and other cancers?

Cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli and cauliflower, also reduce the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum. They may also reduce the risk of breast cancer. These vegetables are fighting cancer because of the presence of indoles. Indoles activate enzymes that block cancer-causing substances. One substance that causes cancer is benzopyrene, which is commonly found in commercial products that have undergone a process of transformation. It is recommended to consume cruciferous at least once a week.

Eat fruit. Two servings per day compared with less than three times per week, reduced lung cancer by 74 percent. Tomatoes reduce the risk of prostate cancer as well as that of the pancreas.

Eat beans. They reduce the risk of cancers of the colon, prostate and pancreas. It has been shown that the soy cheese reduces the risk of breast cancer.

Get your diet enough selenium because it reduces by 75 percent the risk of prostate cancer. Brazil nuts contain a lot.

By not drinking alcohol, you reduce the risk of cancer of the esophagus, liver, rectum and possibly pancreatic and breast. Even moderate drinking (four drinks per week) increases the risk of breast cancer by 50 to 100 percent. It has been demonstrated that drinking coffee increases the risk of colon cancer and also in men, cancer of the bladder. Food highly salted or preserved in vinegar can help to increase the risk of certain gastrointestinal cancers.

There is no evidence, as some have suggested, proving that if the diet is devoid of oil, the sun will not cause skin cancer. The more linoleic acid in the diet (there are large quantities in corn oil and other polyunsaturated oils), the lower the risk of skin cancer. It should be noted that with or without oil in the diet, prolonged exposure to sunlight filtering without cream, can cause skin cancer.
