Soy
Research has shown that eating soy can protect you from cancer. This is probably because soy is rich in compounds called Isoflavones which are strong antioxidants that protect cells against damage and inhibit tumour growth.
There is evidence that one type of Isoflavone in particular, genistein, can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. This may be one reason why those who have a high intake of soy, have a relatively low risk of prostate cancer.
