When studying the RealAge website, we found some YUMMY recipes for cancer-fighting party foods, all using one of our favorite foods, AVOCADOS!

The bright green avocados that make up this south-of-the-border-inspired treat are not only low in saturated fat and sodium but also loaded with nutrients that science thinks can protect against breast, oral, and colorectal cancers.

A review of several studies shows that compounds in avocados may inhibit the growth of - or even kill - certain types of cancerous and precancerous cells. And the really good news? These compounds from avocados may be able to target cancer cells without harming normal, healthy cells. Here’s an even better way to serve your avocados and jack up the cancer-fighting quotient in the process: Toss some avocado chunks into your salsa and you'll absorb 400 percent more lycopene from the tomatoes. And avocados give spinach salad a boost, too. Give these 3 amazing recipes a try:
