Filed under: Alternative Therapies, Diet, Prevention Our perennial favorites: cranberries, pumpkin, squash, beets and especially sweet potatoes are chock full of fiber, beta carotene and phytochemicals, all known to be cancer fighting agents. "Sweet potatoes are just loaded, loaded, loaded with beta carotene and phytochemicals...they are one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat," says Colleen Doyle, of the American Cancer Society, in a related article.

This Thanksgiving, eat an extra helping of sweet potato pie and consider it a healthy dose of natural medicine. Read Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
