New Research Finds Cancer-Fighting DNA in Common Foods

The nucleic acids found in many plant and animal foods may help prevent cancer, new research shows.
Stopping cancer cells from moving from the G1 phase to the S phase means they can’t replicate, which helps slow the spread of cancer, he noted.
“While meats are high in nucleic acids, red and processed meats have been linked to increased cancer risk,” he said. “Therefore, I would advocate focusing on plant-based sources like legumes, vegetables, and grains, which offer nucleic acids without the same cancer-associated risks,” he added.
In an email to The Epoch Times, Dr. Ralph Waldo, an integrative medicine physician, put the OMU study in perspective. “It highlights potential benefits, but more research is needed before recommending high supplement doses,” he said. An optimal approach for cancer prevention encompasses a healthy lifestyle that includes nutritious eating, exercise, and stress management, he added.
“Health comes from the cumulative effect of many small positive choices, not a single solution,” Waldo said. “The keys are staying informed and making daily choices that promote wellness.”
