I have just started on Arimidex, and have joined their Verve club, they send out a magazine. In the issue that I have just received there is an article Cancer- contesting cuisine, wish I could copy article for everyone, but here is a basic run down copied from the mag.
Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegies.
Carrots contain falcarinol which is a natural pesticide with anti-cancer action. Eat raw or if cooking boil befor cutting.
Lentils - for their fibre
Brussel sprouts/cabbage cauliflower and broccoli are cruciferous vegies, shown to protect against bc thanks to compounds called isothiocyanates anti cancer.
Parsley contains apigenin, an antioxidant that has a chemopreventive property, could help in the fight against bc.
Lychee's the juicy translucent pulp is a rich source of flavonoids that research suggest may kill breast cancer cells.
I thought mushrooms were good as well, especially shitake - the American Cancer Society have an article on this to google.
Not sure if you can go to the Arimidex site and look at this magazine which is for breast cancer Welcome issue, also in the mag are the latest results of ATAC research (Arimidex,Tamoxifen, Alone or Combination), which I did look up (thank you Mr Google) and is worth reading for those who are unsure about taking this drug.
