"One of the best foods that prevents cancer, of course, is fruit."

Vitamin A: "boosts the body's natural immunity"

from page 178:

Beta Carotene: (which gives many fruits and vegetables their color) "converts to Vitamin A inside the body"

Beta Carotene: may "protect cells from free radicals, the by-products of fat metabolism that can turn a healthy cell cancerous"

Bioflavinoids: "jack-of-all-trades nutrient";

They "increase the anti-cancer activity of certain enzymes found in our skin, lungs, gastro-intestinal tract, and liver."

"The enzymes also help convert fat-soluable carcinogens to water-soluable form, so they can be safely excreted from the body."

Bioflavinoids: "may also protect thebody from cancer-causing effects of air polutants such as benzo(a)pyrene."

Bioflavinoids: "increase the body's absorption of Vitamin C"

Vitamin C: "a protector and a healer"

Nitrites = "food additive"

Nitrosamines: "cancer-causing agents that formwhen common food additives called nitrites interact with body chemicals"

Vitamin C: "combines with nitrites in the stomach to hinder transformation of nitrosamines into carcinogens"

from page 179:

Heat and water from canning depletes Vitamin C and A.

Citrus Juice:

One cup of fresh squeezed orange juice contains about 120 milligrams of Vitamin C. A medium orange might contain about half that much.
Frozen juice is second best in terms of Vitamin C.
"The container counts. Polystyrene bottles and wax-coated paper cartons are the worst for preserving vitamin C, because they are not air-tight and allow light in. Both oxygen and light contribute to the decay of Vitamin C. Airtight glas jars are a little better. Enamel-lined cans and tin cans are better still. The best containers are frozen concentrate cans-second only to the natural skin of the fruit!"
"keep your cans of citrus juice in the refrigerator if possible; if not, keep them in as cool a place as you can"

Harvest fruits every season. Make a point of enjoying fresh fruits at their peak.
