Beta-carotene
Another carotene you need to fight cancer is beta carotene. You probably know it better than carrots, but any red, yellow, or orange fruit or vegetable contains beta-carotene. As an antioxidant, beta-carotene protects the cell membranes and slows the growth of cancer cells.
Beta-carotene can protect against cancer of the cervix, breast, mouth, pharynx and larynx, esophagus and stomach. Eat foods like carrots, apricots, broccoli, asparagus, grapefruit, chives, kale, onions, and sweet potatoes.
Steam whole carrots to get plenty of beta-carotene.
