Anti-Cancer Grocery List

I received a couple requests for an anit-cancer grocery list. Please keep in mind that it is always a wise and healthy choice to buy local, organic foods when possible. Such choices can make all the difference. This list is a continual evolution of my research and experiences. Please continue to check in with me if you're interested in updated versions. Here are my latest findings:
