text: since we now understand that antioxidants do not help as a cancer deterrent, what should we consider to help? are than any other herbs or choices to assist with protecting against cancer?  now we are told the research shows that antioxidants are useless in supporting the battle against cancer. that is not true. they do help fight cancer and flax seed and flax oil is excellent for prevention of breast cancer. you should stay away from dairy and saturated fats.eat lots of vegetables and fruits and take a multi-vitamin.in a world of chemicals & stress nothing is for sure but you can help also with good exercise.my gr aunt was vegetarian and lived to be 98 years old.some also say " its not what your eating but whats eating you" meaning stress !
