This recipe is a good choice to include in a cancer-fighting diet. Beans are a rich source of antioxidants, fiber, and lignans. Lignans may have a protective effect against breast and prostate cancer. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene which can help fight endometrial, lung, prostate and stomach cancers. Garlic helps fight breast, colon, esophageal, and stomach cancers. And curcumin found in turmeric has been shown to help slow and shrink tumors. All these wonderful food-provided compounds are found in this southwestern stew containing beans, spices, brown rice and vegetables. To reduce your exposure to toxic pesticides and genetically modified foods, use as many certified organic ingredients as you can get and afford that are listed in this recipe.
