The Amazing Power of Fruits and Vegetables to Prevent Cancer


Just three servings a month of raw broccoli or cabbage can reduce the risk of bladder cancer by as much as forty percent.

These amazing findings were reported this week by researchers from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York, at the American Association of Cancer Research in Philadelphia. These foods and others in the crucifer family, like arugula, bok choy, beet greens, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, chard, collard greens, kale, radishes, turnips and watercress, contain many cancer-fighting chemicals, some of which are inactivated by cooking. This is why raw foods are superior.

At the same conference, a team of researchers from Ohio State University reported that feeding patients freeze dried blackberries substantially reduced markers of cancer found in the patients' urine.

The bottom line is this: Raw fruits and vegetables contain nutrients that both prevent and reverse cancer. Unfortunately, our modern, nutrient-depleted foods no longer contain sufficient nutrients for us to stay healthy. According to the National Academy of Sciences, it is no longer possible to get all the nutrition we need - even if we eat a good diet. Supplementation is necessary.

But what if you don't even eat right at all? That's why we created The Pops™ - fruit and veggie nutrients in capsules.
