Cancer Prevention through Nutrition — App (BLV / Switzerland)

Foods and cancer risk (lists & Food Rankings)

The app shows foods for the cancer-risk rank (e.g. cruciferous vegetables with sulforaphane, berries with polyphenols, green tea with EGCG, turmeric with curcumin, tomatoes with lycopene, garlic/onion with organosulfur compounds, and more) – prioritised in Food Rankings. So you quickly find plant-rich foods that suit you.

Note: the app informs about nutrients – it does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment.

Cancer ranking: weighted by action profiles & nutrients

Our cancer rank condenses scientific evidence into a single number per food – for fast decisions.
Weighted factors include: anti-angiogenesis, DNA protection & repair, antioxidant and inflammation-modulating effects, immune boost, microbiome, plus essential nutrients.

The assessment also factors in phytochemicals (e.g. polyphenols, sulforaphane, curcumin, resveratrol, anthocyanins, EGCG), herbs & wild herbs, mushrooms, spices, teas, special oils as well as vegetables & fruit with protective properties – plus markers for immune system, inflammation/blood pressure and the five defence systems.

Mechanisms – the 5 natural defence systems

The ranking takes into account the five defence systems (incl. immune defence, anti-angiogenesis, DNA protection & repair, stem-cell regulation, microbiome barrier) as well as compound profiles (e.g. anti-inflammatory, blood-pressure-lowering). More on this: Natural defences, strengthen the immune system, the active compounds in our foods.

Import recipes, create new ones & shop

Option A – import & upgrade: import an existing recipe, view its nutrient analysis & compound profile, swap ingredients for higher-rated alternatives – and create the shopping list in one click.

Option B – new from high-ranked foods: choose ingredients directly from the Food Rankings or your favourites (e.g. cruciferous vegetables, berries, green tea, turmeric, tomatoes, garlic). The recipe generator turns them into a matching recipe (incl. quantities) – automatically analysed and rated by the criteria of the cancer ranking.

A worked example: Broccoli and pomegranate salad with walnut and turmeric – recipe with cancer-preventive foods, four Top-20 ingredients and Top 50 for the cancer-risk goal. More healthy recipes by goal.

Habits & meal plan – staying on track made easy

Set up regular notifications: nutrition tips on cancer risk, high-ranked foods from your list and optimised recipes – exactly when you need them. That's how plant-rich eating turns from a good intention into a routine.

• Tips & food reminders: e.g. "add cruciferous veg today", "green tea in the afternoon".
• Recipe reminders: schedule 2–3 recipes rich in vegetables and cruciferous veg per week.
• Weekly plan in the calendar: spread meals across the week (Mon–Sun) & be reminded in time.
• Favourites & streaks: mark favourite foods, keep your progress visible.
