Peaches, apples, and pears

Peaches, apples, and pears, in particular, have been demonstrated to protect against breast cancer. A study of 75,929 women found that those who ate at least two servings of peaches per week had a 41% lower chance of having ER– breast cancer. Peach polyphenol antioxidants were found to inhibit the development and spread of a breast cancer cell line in a test tube study. Furthermore, research including 272,098 women found that eating apples and pears reduced the risk of breast cancer.

Scientists have discovered that eating two or three peaches each day can help prevent breast cancer. The peach compounds, according to Dr. Giuliana Noratto, a food scientist at Washington State University, might supplement therapies that reduce the chance of metastasis in breast and other forms of cancer. The compounds might be taken as fresh peaches or as a dietary supplement in the form of an extract.
