Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which studies show can reduce inflammation and slow the progression of certain cancers including colon, breast, and prostate.

According to New Mexico State University, forbidden (black) rice is rich in anthocyanins which are potent antioxidants that contribute to cancer prevention by neutralizing harmful free radicals.
