Could Your Diet Prevent You Fro Developing Mesothelioma Cancer

By DrS

Researchers at the Louisiana State University and the National Cancer Institute have had research papers in their hands for decades. The research was done on people that were exposed to asbestos fibers. Some developed mesothelioma cancer and others did not. Because the researchers found some evidence that vegetables and fruits might help prevent cancer cells, they looked for fifty some people with mesothelioma cancer and fifty some people that were exposed to asbestos fibers with similar circumstances.

The findings were amazing to say the least. They found that the people with asbestos exposure remained cancer free, but they ate twice as many locally grown or homegrown vegetables and fruits as did the mesothelioma sufferers. They ate brussel sprouts, cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables. Those who suffered from mesothelioma cancer ate more pies, candy and cakes.

Later in New York, the same study was done and found that the beta-carotene in some vegetables eaten with some type of oil all least four times a week was optimal. However, they found that one thing that increased the risk of cancer was sugar. It would appear that sugar speeds up the development of cancer.

It may be possible to prevent cancer if you would eat the right foods. More research would have to be done to say this for sure.
