Ok there is more to preventing cancer by eating fruits you also have to eat veggies as well. Basically you have to have a healthy diet and exercise a bit. Cancer is one the the preventable diseases that many people still end up getting. Some people many no know its preventable you just have to have a healthy life style. It maybe hard to get started but it will be well worth it in the long run. Having a healthy life sytle can prevent many more diseases like cardiovascular disease, strokes and many more. The annual cost for obesity in the U.S. exceeds $152 billion in medical expenses. So having a healthy diet is the best thing for you in the long run. Just something for you to think about.

Like your everyday fruits, fruits has Antioxidants which helps to prevent cancer, but if you don't include berries in your diet ou nee to start. Strawberries, also blueberries (blueberries are the best kind of berries to have in your diet). with the veggies grean leafy veggies are good. If you ever make a salad make it colorful. Green,yellow, and red peppers are also good for you. Just dont limit your fruit and veg. intake. The recommended fruit and veg. serving size is 4-5 servigs a day so you can switch it up each day.

I agree its important to eat fruit and vegetables every day. Most people don't eat enough of them and your right about the staggering medical costs in the United States. I would like to add reduce stress and get enough sleep, as these two are the ones my doctor told me to change. Sadly, not all cancers are preventable; however, its important to reduce your risk.

not really medically proven but it was known to be helpful as some fruits and especially some vegetables contains antioxidants and some compounds that were proven to have anti-cancer properties.

Yes I agree. For those that don't know antioxident means too prevent oxidation in cells. So everytime you eat raw fruits and veggies you are fighting the aging process. Note most of us cook our veggie, if you can, to get the most benefits eat them raw. I eat carrots,broccoli,cauliflower raw. I'm not obsessed with youth but I would like to remain fit as I age. So you may catch me dancing when I'm forty.
