Fruit/ Cancer Kill Research Backed
BLUEBERRIES
What researchers discovered: In a laboratory study, blueberry anthocyanin fractions reduced the growth of two human colon cancer cell lines by more than 50% and increased DNA fragmentation a marker of apoptosis by 2–7 times.
⚠️ WHAT THEY USED :. The study used rabbiteye blueberries.
Eat: Whole, fresh or frozen
Pair with: Plain yogurt, chia, walnuts or oatmeal.

🍇 PURPLE GRAPES
🔥 What researchers discovered: In a small human colon cancer pilot study, grape powder reduced activity in certain Wnt-related genes in normal colon tissue.
⚠️ WHAT THEY USED: PURPLE GRAPE WITH SEEDS.
Choose: Concord, muscadine or deeply purple grapes. Eat the skin and seeds.
Pair with: Walnuts, cheese or plain yogurt.

🍓 STRAWBERRIES
🔥 The strongest human discovery on this list: Seventy five people with precancerous esophageal lesions took either 30 or 60 grams of freeze dried strawberry powder daily for six months.
The 60 gram dose improved the lesion grade in 29 of 36 evaluated participants 80.6%. The 30 gram dose did not produce as much improvement.
⚠️ WHAT THEY USED: fresh dried freeze powders.
Eat: Whole or unsweetened freeze dried.
Pair with: Plain yogurt, chia, walnuts or oatmeal.

🍏 GREEN APPLES
🔥 What researchers discovered: Quercetin caused more cell death and less growth in human colon cancer cells grown in laboratory dishes.
⚠️ EHAT THEY USED: Researchers used concentrated quercetin up to 200 micromolar of green apples. Green apples contain quercetin, especially in the peel.
Eat: Washed, with the peel.
Pair with: Almond butter, peanut butter or walnuts.

❤️ POMEGRANATE
🔥 What researchers discovered: Pomegranate extracts have slowed several cancer cell lines in laboratory research.
⚠️ WHAT THEY USED: the whole arils.
Pair with: Walnuts, plain yogurt, oatmeal or leafy greens.

🍒 CHERRIES
🔥 What researchers discovered: Tart cherry anthocyanins reduced the growth of two human colon cancer cell lines. Mice eating cherry compounds developed fewer and smaller tumors in one intestinal area.
⚠️ WHAT THEY USED: Tart cherries or deeply colored sweet cherries.
Pair with: Walnuts, chia, oatmeal or plain yogurt.
Use when: Evening is reasonable because cherries contain small amounts of melatonin, but evening eating has not been shown to increase anticancer effects.
