There's no absolute guarantee that diet strategies can prevent cancer development. To play safe, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, minimize consumption of foods with preservatives, healthy balanced diet and healthy food preparation is always an advantage.

What important antioxidants and food elements can OFFER some help against cancer?
>>Quercetin - can help reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer. It is a flavonol naturally-occurring in large amounts in APPLES and onions.
>> Ellagitannins (ET) - antioxidants that break down to metabolites known as urolithins - inhibits the growth of human prostate cancer cells. It can decrease the systolic blood pressure by 21 percent and significantly improve blood flow to the hearts. It can possibly prevent neurodegeneration as well which leads to Alzheimer’s disease. It is abundant in pomegranate juice and other red or dark colored fruits and vegetables.
>>Anthocyanins reportedly slow the growth of colon cancer cells by 50 to 80% and also killed roughly 20 per cent of the cancer cells while having little effect on healthy cells. The compounds responsible for the rich dark colors of grapes, radishes, purple carrots and bilberries are rich sources.
>> Lycopene fights prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Guava, tomato and all tomato products (tomato sauce, paste and ketchup), watermelon and pink grapefruit and all fruits and vegetables with reddish color are rich in lycopene.
>> Neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acids are particularly effective at combating the superoxide anion radical thought to be one of the primary causes of cancer. Dried plums or prunes are good sources.
>> Antioxidants in black raspberries prevent the formation of blood vessels that feed developing cancers by reducing the production of growth factors for the cells that make up the blood vessels.

Well, those are just few examples. In general, live a healthy life, that is the best first line of defense from getting caancer.
