Antioxidant Flavonoid Quercetin rich foods alleviate prostate pain and fight Alzheimer's by protecting brain cells against oxidative stress. Tests also have demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity and may also help to prevent some types of cancer. One study that people who ate quercetin-rich foods at least four times a week, on average, were 51% less likely to have lung cancer than those who ate none. Foods rich in quercetin include capers, apples, tea, onions, especially red onions (higher concentrations of quercetin occur in the outermost rings), red grapes and red wine, citrus fruit, tomatoes, broccoli and other leafy green vegetables, and a number of berries including cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and blueberry. A recent study found that organically grown tomatoes had 79% more quercetin than "conventionally grown". A study by the University of Queensland, Australia, has also indicated the presence of quercetin in varieties of honey, including honey derived from eucalyptus and tea tree flowers.
White Button Mushrooms Shrinks The Enlarged Prostate. The most commonly consumed kind in the U.S. are rich in the Antioxidant Ergothioneine that researchers say have about twelve times more of the antioxidant ergothioneine than wheat germ and four times more than chicken liver. Ergothioneine, a unique metabolite produced by fungi, has been shown to have strong antioxidant properties and to provide cellular protection within the human body. White button mushrooms also contain phytochemicals aromatase and steroid 5alpha-reductase which suppress the formation of estrogen (a promoter of breast cancer) and steroid 5alpha-reductase (a promoter of prostate cancer and an enlarged prostate).

Vitamin C or E pills do not help prevent cancer in men concludes the same big study that last week found these supplements ineffective for warding off heart disease. The American Cancer Society recommends getting these and other nutrients by eating a mostly plant-based diet with a variety of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. A bonus is that this type of diet helps to prevent obesity, which increases the risk of several cancers. http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Nov16/0,4670,MEDVitaminsCancer,00.html
