Cancer cells thrive in acidic environments but don’t survive well in alkaline environments. This is why alkaline yielding foods reduce our chances of getting cancer or it spreading. All animal proteins are acid yielding, as are sugar, salt, vinegar, tea, coffee, alcohol, colas and preserved foods. Of plant foods, fruits and vegetables are the most alkaline, grains and nuts less so.
Briefly, a whole food vegan diet without excess protein will help prevent cancer because:
- many antioxidants are found in fresh vegetables and fruits
- relatively low amounts of protein in one’s diet help fight cancer
- high fibre diets like the whole food vegan one help to prevent cancer
- the vegan diet generally contains fewer toxins/carcinogens
Raw foods are very effective in preventing and reversing cancer.
