American Institute for Cancer Research Easy recipes that are healthy and taste great. The majority of the research on diet and cancer suggests that eating fruit, vegetables, whole grains and beans will lower your risk of developing cancer. No single food or food substances can protect you against cancer, but the right combination of foods in a predominantly plant-based diet can. Evidence is mounting that the minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals in many plant foods interact to provide extra cancer protection. For these reasons, scientists recommend that at least 2/3 of your plate should be filled with vegetables, fruit, whole grains and beans.
