Preventing and Reversing Cancer with Fruit and Vegetables High in Lycopene & Lutein
Lycopene and Lutein are two very powerful antioxidants or anti-acids contained in several alkalizing fruit and vegetables.  These two antioxidants have been found to prevent and even reverse certain cancerous conditions. L ycopene from tomato and grapefruit when combined with lutein from avocado have been linked to risk reduction of various diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. But recent studies have shown that unless vegetables are consumed along with healthy fats—such as avocado oil, for example—the body can barely absorb the lycopene and get them into the bloodstream where they work their magic.
