Reduced cancer risk in vegetarians: an analysis of recent reports2010 •
Cancer is a hyper proliferative disorder that is usually treated by chemotherapeutic agents that are toxic not only to tumour cells but also to normal cells, so these agents produce major side effects. And also, these agents are highly expensive and thus not affordable by most. Traditional medicines, functional foods and phytonutrients are generally free of the deleterious side effects and usually inexpensive. Protective elements in a cancer prevention diet include selenium, vitamin-E, vitamin-C, folic acid, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, chlorophyll, and antioxidants such as the carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene, lutein, anthocyanidins and cryptoxanthin). Major dietary factors now known to promote cancer development are polished grain foods and low intake of fresh vegetables, with general importance for an unhealthy lifestyle and obesity. The strategies of cancer prevention in human being may include consumption of functional foods like whole grains (brown rice, Oats, hand pounded rice, whole wheat and whole fine millets) and their by-products, as well some vegetables (bitter melon, garlic, onions, broccoli, and cabbage) and mushrooms. Intake of flax seed, especially its lignin fraction is also evident to lower cancer risk. In addition some beverages (green tea and decaffeinated coffee) may be protective. The current review is certainly a positive approach in the development of novel guidelines against cancer by using dietary functional foods to maintain good health.

Many studies have been conducted about dietary interventions aimed at preventing cancer. The American Cancer Society has published guidelines on diet, nutrition and cancer prevention, which are updated periodically as new evidence emerges, and other groups, too, have issued statements or guidelines about nutritional strategies to prevent cancer. Much less is known, however, about optimal nutrition for cancer survivors. This report looks at the different phases of cancer survivorship, from active treatment to advanced disease, and presents existing evidence from which informed decisions can be made regarding dietary choices. Popular complementary and alternative methods related to dietary intervention are reviewed. Nutrition information is also provided according to common cancer sites. As this is an area that requires survivors and health care providers to communicate effectively, a special section on " frequently asked questions " is provided for use as a patient
