random\u2014diet and lifestyle can influence risk\u2014but no food or diet can guarantee prevention.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"133\" data-end=\"404\">Research shows that diets high in <strong data-start=\"167\" data-end=\"219\">fruits, vegetables, fiber, and plant-based foods<\/strong> are associated with a lower risk of certain cancers, while <strong data-start=\"279\" data-end=\"335\">processed meats, alcohol, and highly processed foods<\/strong> are linked with higher risk.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"406\" data-end=\"697\">Many plant compounds called <strong data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"452\">phytochemicals<\/strong> (found in foods like broccoli, garlic, berries, tomatoes, turmeric, and leafy greens) have been studied for potential protective effects because they may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in cells.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"760\">However, scientific reviews emphasize an important reality:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"997\">\n<li data-section-id=\"tbh6v9\" data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"810\">There is <strong data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"808\">no single \u201ccancer-fighting\u201d
