Like soy, there is a bit of controversy about another nutritional item, vitamin E. I always thought E was a beneficial cancer fighting antioxidant vitamin but, studies have shown vitamin E that it both promotes and prevents cancer. According to researchers at Rudgers, natural sources of vitamin E are beneficial cancer fighters not the synthetic vitamin form. The supplements actually compete with the natural E and cancel out the benefit increasing cancer risk. Ditch the pills and eat lots of vitamin E food sources.
Foods High in Vitamin E
Nuts: Almonds, Peanuts, Hazelnuts, Pine Nuts and Nut Butters
Seeds: Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame, Flaxseeds
Vegetable Oils: Soybean, Sunflower, Safflower, Olive, Cottonseed and Corn (Cooking the oils destroys some of the E)
Vegetables: Avocado, Bell Peppers, Broccoli, Asparagus, Leafy Greens including Spinach, Swiss Chard, Mustard Greens, Turnip Greens and Kale, Green Olives and Taro Root
Fruits: Kiwi, Mango, Papaya, Dried Apricots and Tomatoes
Herbs and Spices: (I didn't know!) Paprika, Red Chili Powder, Parsley, Basil and Oregano
