Diet of the future

Researching "cancer fighting" diets I came across a list called "Superfoods":   However the first item listed was yogurt.  I know the culture of bacteria is good for the immune system so I plan to just take a probiotic supplement. 

Another website offered this shopping list:

Here are some descriptions about what some of these do in order to boost the immune system or react with cancer cells specifically from the "superfoods" descriptions.

Garlic

Garlic has been found to stimulate natural protection against tumor cells. It has been discovered that garlic is toxic to invading pathogens and tumor cells, however it is harmless to normal, healthy cells.

Carotenoids

Carotenoids and bioflavonoids absorb dangerous particles. They have the potential to stimulate the immune system. There is some evidence that both of these may be toxic to tumor cells. Carotenoids can be found in green and orange fruits and vegetables. Bioflavonoids are found in citrus, whole grains, honey, and other plant foods.

Cruciferous Vegetables

Broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower all have an active ingredient called “indoles” which have been proven to be protective against cancer. These vegetables are able to increase the body’s production of important protective enzymes.

Legumes

Also known as seed foods. These foods have a unique ability to envelop tumor cells and prevent their growth.

Others

Apples, apricots, barley, citrus fruit, cranberries, fiber, figs, fish oil, fish, ginger, green tea, spinach, and seaweed have the ability to slow tumor growth in various ways.

This is a good start as this is a lot of the things that are found in my existing diet.  I'm still trying to find out if wine and coffee are ok.  Coffee will be hard for me to cut out.  I have seen conflicting information on both of them.  As of June 1 I will begin eating only what I find to be linked to being toxic to tumor cells, slows, or inhibits their growth. And I'm really going to miss cheese.  In addition to these, vitamins are also important to this diet.  I will be taking vitamin D (Researchers suggest that vitamin D curbs the growth of cancerous cells.) and a multi vitamin.  I might also start taking fish oil.  One important aspect is not to assume vitamins will be my replacement for nutrients.

Food for thought:
Fat and sugar can suppress the immune system.
Drinking plenty of water is important (I'm notorious for not doing that).
Drink more green tea! (I know this first hand because I actually am a tea educator.)
