today we're going to talk about seven fruits that have the potential to kill cancer how does a fruit or a plant ever come up with this chemical to kill cancer since that plant or fruit doesn't normally get cancer like humans get we will also answer the question of the sugar in fruits right because people might know that fruits are high in sugar and cancer loves sugar all right so let's first dive into number one berries but there's two specific berries that have more cancer fighting potential than other berries and that would be the blueberry and
the Blackberry because they have a lot more of this thing called anthocyanins that has all sorts of interesting properties one being the inhibiting of cancer growth okay now anthocyanins also feed your gut microbes like 80% of your immune system is in your gut microbiome so your gut microbes love to eat these plant-based chemicals you strengthen them they become more diverse and they increase in number there's some pretty great incredible research on anthos anthon's decreasing breast cancer colon cancer and prostate cancer now I will say they're observational studies but still the research is pretty strong if
you can just imagine like oh yeah we just discovered that you can actually help inhibit cancer by eating healthier right who's going to fund that and that goes right up against Pharmaceutical companies it's not going to happen there's just so many other things that go Way Beyond just cancer we're talking about anti-inflammatory antimicrobial all right so let's go to number two citrus fruits right this is lemon limes grapefruit not only are they loaded with vitamin C which helps your immune system but they're loaded with flavonoids one being the detoxification of cancer causing agents so in
other words it strengthens the liver's ability to turn these carcinogens into harmless particles so if you regularly consume citrus fruits whether it's also like lemon in the water things like that you may decrease your risk for certain types of cancer especially of the digestive system next one is pomegranates pomegranates are rich in a certain nutrient called alic acid it also has anti-cancer properties these compounds work over time to protect your D DNA from damage you have to realize that a cancer cell came from a normal cell cancer really is a normal cell that has damage
that then has to survive and so it starts to morph into some other type of metabolism there's a lot of other phytonutrients in pomegranates that do a lot of different things as well decrease inflammation decrease oxidative stress all right the next one is grapes now what are grapes known for well the phytonutrient called r ver trol Resveratrol is known to help decrease aging and one of the reasons why someone can extend their age is they're not dying from certain things so resveratol is a very thoroughly researched uh phytonutrient that has all sorts of properties one
being a superhero anti-cancer effect that can bulletproof your cells from experiencing excessive amounts of stress that can then cause the triggering of the cancer the next one on the list is tomatoes yes tomatoes are really a fruit even though you might have thought it was a vegetable tomatoes are loaded with with something called lopine now you actually can increase the amount of lopine if you cook the Tomato as in tomato sauce now I have a huge Garden of tomatoes all different kinds and because I'm experimenting on different type of tomatoes I have dark purple ones
the green and yellow ones I have all different types and those colors represent different pigments different phytonutrients so I'm going to experiment on this and see which ones I like as far as taste see which ones are not as destroyed by insects and bugs and then also I'm going to send some to the lab to see what the heck is in these Tomatoes all right next one avocados first thing that avocados have glutathione that's a super powerful antioxidant that can protect your cells against what's called carcinogens which are things that cause cancer the more glutathion
you can consume from actual food the better the other thing that avocado have are certain phytonutrients that specifically Target cancer stem cells and those are the cells that are not turned into a cancer cell yet but they're going to so if you can slow those down you get at the root of Cancer all right the last one the list is olives yes an olive is a fruit as well olives have something called alop pan and another one called hydroxy tyrosol both protect you against the growth of cancer cells olives are like a natural Shield they
protect the body from the inside out another cool thing about olives is that these pH nutrients increase something called apoptosis when the cell is sick it naturally commits suicide to protect the whole body so the the phytonutrient in olives can help cause the cancer cell to commit suicide so that's a really good thing all right so now let's talk about how a fruit actually developed these compounds in the first place these plants have have developed certain compounds to help them survive as a defense mechanism against the stress from UV radiation pathogens viruses other bacteria they
can't run away from anything so they have to develop all these compounds to teach whoever eats them a lesson so these anti-cancer plant-based chemicals also inhibit certain enzymes some of the phytonutrients also increase what's called autophagy what happens is it causes your your body to start eating damaged cells and then turn those into new proteins and also some of the plant-based chemicals that kill insects create a very mild short-term stress in our body that then causes our body to compensate and become stronger think about this if a child never gets sick they won't have an
immune system and having the body learn from that and become stronger it's not good to eliminate all stress these plant-based chemicals are not necessarily just killing or dissolving this cancer they're getting rid of the things that turn into cancer the inflammation they're supporting the gut microb around the cancer and so even if there's more sugar in the fruit the different phytal nutrients with the fiber itself all buffer a lot of that sugar so it's not like eating a candy bar at all so I really think that food should be our medicine unfortunately the medical industry
does not look at food as medicine and it's just bizarre to me to think that you can get health by taking a poison I'm sorry a medication currently I'm involved in doing research on cancer with a group out of Europe and we published several amazing studies on cancer using these natural compounds in Plants because they have virtually no side effects as chemo does have massive side effects that's the problem with trying to address cancer to kill it off you need to use something in the body that does not have the toxic effects so check it
out down below and I will see you in the next video
