Fight Cancer, Eat Papaya Daily

No need to cry about scarcity of blueberries, strawberries, etc .  We have our wonderful papayas, pineapples and bananas, and durians and mangoes are affordable.  

Papaya was the only studied  food found to halt breast cancer

Scientists studied 14 plant foods commonly consumed in Mexico to determine their ability to halt breast cancer cell growth. These included avocado, black sapote, fuava, mango, prickly pear cactus (nopal), pineapple, grapes, tomato, and papaya. They also evaluated beta-carotene, total plant phenolics, and gallic acid contents and antioxidant capacity. They found that only papaya had a significant effect on stopping breast cancer cell growth. (International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, May) Papaya is a store-house of cancer fighting lycopene.
