The leading cause of cancer is the food we eat.  A long time ago we consumed a diet of mainly alkaline food, but that has changed, and rate of cancer has increased. The majority doctors don’t inform you on the correct food to eat to stay free of cancer and what to eat to cause the body to remove it naturally.

The Foods we eat in today’s time contain both acid and alkalinizing forming elements. A diet of mainly acid-forming food can contribute to cancer. Unfortunately, that is a common diet here in the western culture.  American’s diet today is mostly acidic. If you are fighting cancer, you need to balance the body’s pH level because cancer will thrive in an acidic environment whereas an alkaline environment will remove cancer.

We see more people with cancer today more than ever before, and it’s because the typical western diet is far too high in acid-producing foods such as animal products which include dairy products.

The foods we used to eat like freshly grown fruit and vegetables were much better for us, so the best solution is to make some dietary changes.   The alkaline-acid ratio is measured on the pH scale which ranges from 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. The lower end of the scale which is from 0 to 7 is acidic, and anything between 7 to 14 is alkaline.

The easiest way to find out what foods are either alkaline or acidic is to research which foods are alkaline or acidic more so than others, also test your alkaline level often.   While a diagnosis of cancer may have other contributing factors, the food we eat now is the main cause.

Many years ago before we had supermarkets we were eating a healthier diet, now because of processed foods and the popularity of fast food outlets our diets have changed. A diet of food from an acidic range is causing many health problems now, and cancer is just one of them.   For instance, many of our foods are refined, and most of our bread and other baked foods are made from refined white flour.

Some other examples of acid forming foods are; pasta, cheese, ice cream and butter, jams and jellies, alcohol and soft drinks. All acid forming foods are not necessarily bad; it’s just our diet is out of balance, and if you are dealing with any serious health problem it’s essential to look carefully at what you are eating.

Some of the alkaline foods are fresh fruit and nearly all freshly grown vegetables. Also consuming, nuts, seeds, grains and legumes are all alkaline foods [Bold face by The New Legalist editor]. It’s important to remember that the changes you make to a more alkaline diet have many health benefits including removing cancer naturally.

While cancer has some other contributing factors, the most important cause is what we eat, because our health is directly related to our dietary choices. Our diet has changed over the last 40 to 70 years, and most of what we eat now is available in supermarkets and supermarkets have an overwhelming influence on what we now buy.

Much of what’s available in supermarkets is processed, and because of it, this food is low in nutritional value, and that is without question the reason why there is so much cancer now.   It makes a lot of sense if you are dealing with cancer that the first and the most important change you make is with your diet and that you select from a more alkaline range. Also, make sure it’s fresh and if all possible that it is organic.
