The principal carcinogens and mutagens that have been identified in human foods are reviewed. These agents may occur in foods as naturally occurring components (e.g., metabolites made by plant or fungal cells), components of contaminating plants or microorganisms, food additives (usually unintentional...
Ironically many toxins that are put into foods don’t have to be there in the first place. Food is labeled for cholesterol, but not for carcinogens. Canned foods are one example of concern due to the can lining. The linings of the majority of all cans are made with a chemical called ...

Stimulate pathways that induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) of existing and emerging cancer cells Enhance detoxification, helping to neutralize and eliminate carcinogens in body Promote cellular differentiation, which decreases the risk of healthy cells from becoming cancer cells ...
but antioxidants aren’t the only benefits they have to offer. Greens are also sources ofglucosinolates, which are broken down during food preparation, chewing and digestion to form compounds like indoles and isothiocyanate, which have been found to inactivate carcinogens and inhibit tumor formation ...
