ABSTRACT
Cancer is one of the most overwhelming diseases those cause death in a large number of
population. So, there is an intense need to find out such biological weapons those have
potential to eradicate this horrible catastrophe. Medicines from botanical origin are enriched
with diversity of active principles which are used for the treatment of various diseases
including cancer. Natural food, nutrition and diet for cancer treatment is now capturing full
attention due to their most promising results with least adverse effects to healthy tissues and
also powerful effects on immune system and purification of the body. Food should be
organic, unprocessed, high fiber, low animal protein, rich in enzyme, acid/alkaline ratio 1:4
and low fatty. In this review we have complied the documented proves and importance of
nutrition and diet in cancer treatment as compare to synthetic medicine.

KEYWORDS : phytonutrients, natural remedies, cancer, raw food.

material, adjusting the metabolic enzymes bioactive phytochemical compounds, such

and hormones and thus suppress the
growth of various cancers. [14]
Tomatoes: Tomatoes mainly consist of a
bioactive carotenoid called as lycopene.
This antioxidant lycopene decreases the
30–40% chances of pancreas, colon,
rectum, esophagus, oral cavity, breast, and
cervical cancer. [15]
Garlic: Garlic acts as anticarcinogenic and
antitumorigenic agent. Several studies
have shown that when the consumption of
fresh garlic extracts, aged garlic, or garlic
oil decrease the risk of several types of
cancer like colon, breast, esophagus,
stomach and pancrease by altering cell
cycle regulation, apoptosis and
[16]
angiogenesis. Cooked or raw garlic
large quantity consumption may also
decrease the chances of colorectal cancer.
Garlic contains arginine, oligosaccharides,
flavonoides and selenium; these
components help to fight cancer.
Flavonoids components of garlic exhibit
strong activities of killing cancerous cells
due to the presence of hydrogen donating
[17]
free radical. It also has Allyl Sulphar
and diallyl sulfides in its components
which stop the nitrosamine formation,
reduce the carcinogen bioactivation and
prevent the cancer. [18]
Cruciferous vegetable: Cruciferous
vegetables have excellent cancer fighting
ability, is mainly due to presence of
as, isothiocyanates which cause the body
to break down the impending carcinogenic
cells as well as prevent the conversion of
normal cells into tumor cells, Indole-3-
carbinol which decreases the risk of breast
cancer by either preventing an over
production of estrogen or by promoting the
conversion of estrogen i.e responsible for
cancer to a less harmful type and
sulforaphane which inhibit the cell
apoptosis. Cruciferous vegetables also
have a special ability of neutralization of
cancer causing agents before they can start
tumor production. Thus have inhibitory
activity in pancreatic cancer cells. [19]
Broccoli: Broccoli is considered to have a
great cancer resisting potential than any
other cruciferous vegetables, because of
presence of a specific anticancer
compound called as sulforaphane,
carotenoids like beta-carotene,
anthocyanins, polyphenols, such as
hydroxycinnamic acids, kaempferol and
quercetin. It is also a rich source of folate,
viramin B, potassium and magnesium.
Broccoli acts as anticancer agent by
switching ON the tumor suppressant gene
and switching OFF the oncogenes. [20]
Green Tea: Green tea Camellia sinensis,
consists of some active components known
as, monomeric polyphenol such as,
catechins. These are strong antioxidant,

Food that should be avoided:

Faiza et. Al. ,
Oils and Saturated Fats: When saturated
and trans fat increase in diet, mostly fount
in animal products, it enhance the risk for
a variety of cancers like colon, rectum, and
prostate because it cause production of
some secondary compounds those act as
cancer causing agents in the body. So
cancer patient should consume essential
omega-3 fatty acids abundantly found in
sea and herbal foods other than saturated
fatty acids. [27]
Highly Processed food and risk of
cancer
The substances produced due
overcooked foods are polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon, Heterocyclic amines,
Dicarbonyls and Aminocarbonyl
responsible for cancer of colon, breast,
liver, skin, lung, prostate, and other organs
including GIT and blood leukemia as well.
These are mutagens and cause alteration in
genetic material of an individual. [28]
Meat: Increased intake of highly
processed and red meat may increase the
risk of colorectal, esophagus, liver, lung
and pancreas cancer. Also it has been
suggested that too much intake of seafood,
white meat and dairy products should be
avoided. Dietary guidelines for cancer
patient recommend lean, low-fat or fat-free
meats. [29]
Vol: 2(3) February 2014
Volume 2 – Issue 3
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates have
direct and indirect effects on cancerous
cell proliferation because these cells need
more energy from glucose inside the cell
mitochondria for their rapid production
and multiplication. Cell becomes unable to
meet the energy demand due to less
metabolism of sufficient amount of fatty
acids or ketone bodies these are mutagenic
as well. Another fact is that foods
containing starch and oligosaccharides
have high insulin and insulin-like growth
factors enhance the chances of rectal as
well as colon cancer by cancer cell
to proliferation via insulin/IGF1 signaling
pathway. [30]
Salted, pickled or smoked foods: It has
been revealed that the chances of cancer
are greatly increased by the repeated
intake of salted, smoked or pickled food.
These types of food mainly consist of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and
Nitrosamines. These mutagenic
compounds have a strong ability to create
the risk of breast, whole respiratory and
gastrointestinal tract especially esophageal
cancer. During pregnancy risk of breast or
other cancer becomes lessen by limiting
the consumption of salt or pickled food. [31]
