Cook up cancer-killing foods in your own kitchen! A new report states that these foods, many of which are plant-based, seem to stop certain cells from multiplying in the body. Here are a dozen of them, and their cancer-fighting components:
•
 Onions, which contain allium
•
 Hot chili peppers, which contain capsaicin
•
 Carrots, which have carotenoids (what gives carrots their deep orange color)
•
 Apples, which contain quercetin in their red skin
•
 Almonds, which have linoleic acid, a good fat
•
 Citrus fruits, which have flavonoids
•
 Brussels sprouts, which have indoles
•
 Nuts, which allow you to munch on phytic acid
•
 Soy, which holds phytoestrogen (plant estrogen)
•
 Sunflower seeds, which contain saponins
•
 Whole-grain bread and cereal, which have protease inhibitors
•
 Broccoli, which contains turpines (blocking agents)
