Foods Thought Beneficial in Cancer Prevention. [29,29,100,100,109,110] Foods often described as beneficial in cancer prevention include fruits, berries, vegetables (especially cruciferous and green leafy vegetables), legumes, nuts, high fiber whole grain foods, and some coffees and teas (i.e., without high-calorie additives).
