Cancer: The nutrition center
By ARMINA SCHMUCKER Clinical Dietitian Kosciusko Community Hospital
Doesn’t it seem that every time you turn around another of your favorite foods has been found to cause cancer? Well, take heart, food lovers, now there’s something you can do about it. According to dietitians at ARA Services, which serves 400,000 meals per day at 350 hospitals and nursing homes across the country, following good nutrition guidelines may well influence your chances of acquiring this dreaded disease. This means you can play an active role in the fight against cancer since the National Cancer Institute estimates that about one-third of all cancers are in some way linked to what we eat. Though we still don’t know exactly how any so-called “pro” or “anti” cancer foods or nutrients work or how much difference these foods will make in reducing cancer risks, the following generally accepted recommendations can help each of us in our cancer prevention program: Good Nutrition Increase consumption of the following nutrients and fiber: Beta carotene: (touna in yellow, orange and green leafy vegetables and fruit). A deficiency in this nutrient may increase the risk of cancers of the esophagus, larnyx and the lung. Vitamin A: (found in liver, dairy products, fish oils). Deficiency may cause cancerous tumors due to abnormal cell growth. Use supplements with caution — megadoses may be toxic.

Vitamin C: (found in citrus fruits, tomatoes, broccoli, strawberries, potatoes and kale). Vitamin C is an antioxidant which may protect tissues from cancerous formations. Megadoses greater than 1,000 milligrams are not advised and can cause diarrhea and kidney stones. Vitamin E: (found in nuts, vegetable oils, liver, whole grains and dried beans). This vitamin is also an antioxidant shown to protect against some cancers such as lung cancer. The adult recommended daily allowance (RDA) can be met by one tablespoon of margarine. Fiber: (found only in plant foods, i.e., fruits, vegetables and grains). May lower the risk of colon and rectal cancer. Avoid or decrease consumption of: Fats: (fatty meats, poultry skin, whole milk and milk products and vegetable oils). May contribute to breast and prostate cancer. Alcohol: Heavy drinking, especially in combination with smoking, contributes to some cancers. Nitrites: (found in cured meats, i.e., bacon, hot dogs, sausage and ham). Promotes some cancers, especially when cooked at high temperatures. Microwaved bacon is lower in carcinogens, especially when fat is drained. Browned Foods: (meat grilled, barbecued or fried at high temperatures). More cancercausing agents are found when fatty meat is cooked over a high temperature.

The Pesticide Factor Another large area of concern are the pesticides found in foods. The National Academy of Sciences recently reported that 1.5 million cancers in America, over a 70-year period, will be caused by pesticides. This recently-released report also cites that 80 percent of these cancers come from just 10 pesticides used on 15 foods. These are as follows, in order of greatest risk: tomatoes, beef, potatoes, oranges, lettuce, apples, peaches, pork, wheat, soybeans, beans, carrots, chicken, corn and grapes. Some natural foods contain more carcinogens than the manmade substances. A few common foods that may contain natural toxic substances are as follows: anise, comfrey, corn, cottonseed oil, horseradish, mushrooms, mustard seed, peanuts, potatoes, rhubarb, sassafras, tea and oil. For those of us interested in trying to limit our exposure to cancer-causing substances, our work is cut out for us, but we can begin by: • Washing produce well before eating and avoiding produce with signs of damage or mold, which can increase the likelihood of

Any mold should be cut out, leaving a one inch margin. • Do not overdo it when eating foods known to be high in natural carcinogens. • Do not eat potatoes with bad spots or sprouts unless they are cut out with half an inch margin.
