The prior garlic video I mentioned is #1 Anticancer Vegetable (nutritionfacts.org/video/1-anticancer-vegetable/) (one of the most popular videos on the site!). Make sure to also watch its "prequel" Veggies vs. Cancer (nutritionfacts.org/video/veggies-vs-cancer/). Other foods that may protect DNA include kiwifruit (nutritionfacts.org/video/kiwifruit-and-dna-repair/), cruciferous vegetables (nutritionfacts.org/video/dna-protection-from-broccoli/), green tea (see my last video nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-interrupted-green-tea/), and plants in general (nutritionfacts.org/video/repairing-dna-damage/). Garlic beat out elephant garlic, but what about Carrots vs. Baby Carrots (nutritionfacts.org/video/carrots-vs-baby-carrots-2/)? Or raisins vs. currants (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthiest-raisin-2/)? Should garlic be raw or cooked? See How can I preserve the anti-cancer effects of cooked garlic? (nutritionfacts.org/questions/what-are-the-anti-cancer-effects-of-garlic/) Which foods have the most flavonoids? See my cheat sheet (nutritionfacts.org/questions/which-foods-have-the-most-potassium/) to the USDA nutrient database. Which foods have the most antioxidants? See my video series starting with Antioxidant Content of 3,139 Foods (nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-content-of-3139-foods/). What other dietary changes should we consider after a cancer diagnosis? See: · Breast Cancer Survival and Lignan Intake (nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-lignan-intake/) · Breast Cancer Survival and Soy (nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-soy/) (though Too Much Soy May Neutralize Benefits nutritionfacts.org/video/too-much-soy-may-neutralize-plant-based-benefits/) · Breast Cancer Survival, Butterfat, and Chicken (nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-butterfat-and-chicken/) · Raw Broccoli and Bladder Cancer Survival (nutritionfacts.org/video/raw-broccoli-and-bladder-cancer-survival/) · Lung Cancer Metastases and Broccoli (nutritionfacts.org/video/lung-cancer-metastases-and-broccoli/) Amla Versus Cancer Cell Invasion (nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-cancer-cell-invasion/) Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video?
