@DavidWorley94 asked the Naked Scientists:
   
How much truth is there in certain foods having cancer healing properties and what are these properties? Cheers :)

What do you think?

Excellent question of which I don't know the answer!

I've always thought that cancer will occur in any animal if it lives long enough. Eating certain foods will make it more likely that you will get it sooner rather than later. Conversely eating other foods will make cancer less likely.

Am I on the right lines?
