For those of you that love your fresh fruits and vegetables, it turns out that there are a few that can actually impact cancer cells.  According to Dr. Michael Greger who released a video on his website NutritionFacts.org there are a few fruits that affect the growth of cancer cells.  He had human liver cancer cells in a petri dish and tested them with fruits to see what happened.  Here are some of his results:

  • Plain Water had NO effect
  • Pineapples, pears and oranges had no effect.
  • Peaches at a high concentration reduced cancer growth by about 10%
  • Bananas and Grapefruit reduced cancer growth by about 40%
  • Red grapes, strawberries and apples - even at half doses - cut cancer growth up to half
  • Lemons and especially cranberries dramatically cut cancer growth, even in tiny doses.
