How to shop strategically, reduce pesticide exposure, and wash your produce the right way — including the evidence-based baking soda method.

If you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis, the food choices you make every single day matter. Not just in terms of nutrition, but in terms of what may be riding along on your produce when it arrives at your plate.

Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzes data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to identify which fruits and vegetables carry the highest — and lowest — levels of pesticide residues. Their findings are published as two iconic lists: the Dirty Dozen™ and the Clean 15™.

At Prevail Over Cancer, we follow the principle: Prevail. Assess. Don't Guess.™ That means making informed decisions grounded in real data — including the data on what's sprayed on your food.

This guide will walk you through both lists, explain why pesticide exposure matters in t...

 Why Fungi Are Being Found in Human Tumors

Large sequencing studies have confirmed that low-abundance fungal DNA and fungal cells appear across multiple cancer types — including breast, lung, GI, melanoma, and gynecologic tumors. These findings do not indicate infection and do not establish fungi as carcinogens. Instead, they highlight fungi as ecological participants within the tumor microenvironment.

• The Cell pan‑cancer analysis identified cancer‑type-specific fungal signatures, often co-occurring with distinct bacterial communities and immune phenotypes.
• A second Cell study confirmed the presence of fungi in GI and lung tumors and demonstrated associations with immune infiltration...
