Can certain food prevent cancer?

There is so much conflicting information online. I understand that nothing can guarantee cancer prevention, but are there any foods that help?

The Mediterranean diet had been found helpful in preventing recurrence of colon cancer and breast cancer, provided that you already had these cancers. Otherwise, there are no specific foods with convincing evidence to uniformly prevent cancers.
Better look at what to avoid to prevent cancer - red meats and pork have been associated with higher rates of cancer in population studies. High sugar diets and high caloric diets are associated with similar high rates of cancer. Eat more fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts which are not only good for cancer prevention, but are associated with an increase in HTN, Cholesterol and Diabetes. A 6 oz glass of red wine with your dinner is healthy. Don't forget to exercise!
Leafy green vegetable, berries like raspberries blueberries and strawberries have antioxidants, garlic and turmeric help fight cancers
