Superfoods have the ability to combat cancer without affecting healthy tissue. Mushrooms are superfoods that fight breast, prostate and lung cancer, and promote healthy metabolism. Superfoods contain compounds that have the ability to block the enzyme aromotase, which plays a key role in producing estrogen, a hormone that fuels many breast cancers. Since 70% of breast cancers need estrogen to grow, Superfoods like mushrooms help suppress aromotase can help prevent cancer.
