Hunger was the cause of migration for early humans’ evolution; however, disease prevention of early human migrations was associated with food structure from centers of crop origin, but coevolution between anticancer activities and food structure of human based on crop origin center from Southwest China is unclear.

2 Southwest Is the Lowest Mortality ofCancers in China

Theage-standardized incidence rate for cancers inChina dur-ing 1998sim2007 was 18586permil 20205permil inmen and 15915permilin women in urban areas but in rural areas it was 24434permiland 13790permil respectively [16] Cancer mortality in Chinaduring 2004-2005 was 13587permil cancer mortalities of sevenregions of China are stated in Table 1 East China (16688permil)gt Northeast China (13921permil) gt North China (13126permil)gt Central China (12426permil) gt South China (12281permil) gtNorthwest China (11433permil) gt Southwest China (09471permil)[17] (see Table 1) There are significant differences amongEast China and five other regions (I IV V VI or VII) formortality of major cancer the age-standardized rates of livercancer in China and world mortalities were 0184permil and0180permil respectively [18] There are significant differencesamong South China and six other regions (I II III IV VI orVII) formortality of nasopharyngeal cancer Nasopharyngealcarcinoma incidence and mortality were obviously higherin South China than in other regions and lowest in NorthChina and its crude incidence and mortality were 00316permiland 00153permil but world age-standardized incidence andmortality were 00244permil and 00118permil respectively [19]

There are significant differences among Northwest Chinaand six other regions (I II III IV V or VI) for mortalityof cervical cancer and gastric cancer Dietary habit was animportant factor contributing to gastric cancer especiallyregular consumption of fried grilled high-salt high-fatspicy food and drinking boiled brick tea [20]Wuwei a city inNorthwest China has high incidence of gastric cancer whichis because of the carcinogens due to lack of Vc infection ofHp atrophic gastritis and heritage [21]

There are significant differences among Northwest Chinaand three other regions (II V or VI) for esophageal can-cer (119901 lt 005) intake of dietary fiber is associatedwith a reduced risk of esophageal cancer for adults [22]whereas the risk is increased with red meat [23] Milletexhibits multiple biological activities including anticancerantioxidant immunomodulatory antifungal and antihyper-glycemia effects [24] the major genetic split for broomcornmillet divided the accessions into an eastern and a westerngrouping in Northwestern China [25]

There are significant differences among Southwest Chinaand four other regions (I II III or V) for mortality ofbreast cancer Mortality rates increased from Southwest toNortheast and from West to East in China from 1991 to2011 [26] There are significant differences among SouthwestChina and three other regions (I III or VII) for mortality ofleukemia There is a significant inverse association betweenhigh tea consumption and leukemia risk [27]The patterns ofsomatic mutation suggest relevant connections between thefunctional categories of genes driving acutemyeloid leukemia[28] Xuanwei and Fuyuan of Southwest China have strikinglyhigh incidence of lung cancer due to food with higher Cdand Ti contents [29] Southwest China is not only the regionwith lowest incidence and mortality of cancers in China [17](see Table 1) but also a geographical area richest in anticancercrop

3 The Lowest Cancer Mortality Associatedwith Anticancer Crops in Yunnan

Yunnanprovince inChina spans approximately 394000Km2It borders Vietnam Laos and Myanmar Kunming is theprovincial capital of Yunnan and its elevation is 1894m Yun-nan is not only the cradle of human childhood a transitionalregion among East Asia continent SouthAsian subcontinentand Indo-China Peninsula but also a core integration areaof Chinese culture Indian culture and Mid-south Peninsulaculture which all merge with the local culture [30] Yunnanprovince is renowned for three kingdoms of plants animaland nonferrous metals parallel evolution of crop adaptationto nonferrous metals and anticancer foods for human beingare mostly cultivated in this region

Yunnan is not only the region with lowest incidenceand mortality of cancers (0541permil) in China especiallyesophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancer leukemiafemale breast cancer and cervical cancer [17] (see Table 1)but also the largest center of origin and diversity of cultivatedcrops [13] The foodsplant extracts of turmeric and Chinesegoldthread aremore likely to be beneficial against cancer [31]The cysteine-conjugated metabolites of shogaols are noveldietary colon cancer preventive agents [32] Consumption ofherbal tea is associated with reduced risk of colon cancerbut iced coffee increases rectal cancer risk [33] Yunnan isnot only a core integration area of Vavilovrsquos three centersof crop origin including Chinese Center Indian Centerand Central Asiatic Center but also the largest center oforigin and diversity of anticancer cropMajor anticancer foodstructures for crop are as follows

31 Association of Brown Rice with Anticancer Activities Riceoriginates from a single domestication 82ndash135 Kya in theSouthwest China [34] In 2013 global rice yield was 7007million tons but Chinese rice yield was 2033 million tonsYunnan is a region not only presenting great genetic diver-sity but also the center of genetic differentiation of indicaand japonica subspecies of Asian cultivated rice howeverpigmented rice with similar wild rice with 2384 accessionsaccounts for 451 of rice landrace in Yunnan [35] but whiterice for present day human consumption accounts for 95rice cultivars in ChinaMGN-3 from rice bran may representa novel adjuvant for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer[36] The momilactone B in rice bran caused G1 cell cyclearrest and apoptosis in U937 cells which may be related toanticancer activity [37] Atractylenolide I might contributeto the anticancer effect of germinated brown rice [38] Thepurple rice extract could be developed for functional foodsfor colon cancer prevention [39] Human HepG2 cell apop-tosis induced by Methanolic-Payao-Purple rice extracts andvinblastine was mediated through a mitochondrial pathway[40] 120574-Oryzanol proanthocyanidin and 120574-tocotrienol in redrice extract may have a potential to serve as food-derivedchemotherapeutic agents for cancer patients [41]Thai purplerice cooked under sterilization could be a potential sourceof protocatechuic acid exerting high antiproliferative activity[42] Treatments with peonidin-3-glucoside and cyaniding-3-glucoside from black rice extracts significantly reduced

33 Association of Buckwheat with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is not only the center of origins and evolution forbuckwheat [13 14] but also the largest Chinese producer ofTartary buckwheat which accounts for 601 in China Rutin(22155mg100 g at 7 days) and quercitrin (23010mg100 gat 8 days) contents after sowing of buckwheat sprouts wereapproximately 35 and 65 times higher than those of buck-wheat seeds [53] Yunnan golden buckwheat has uniqueanticancer effects and its product ldquoWeimainingrdquo capsulesis the national second-class anticancer drug [54] TBWSP31from Tartary buckwheat water-soluble extracts is a novelantitumor protein and apoptosis inducer [55] and alsoquercetin from its seeds and bran exhibited the strongestcytotoxic effects against the human hepatoma cell line [56]Tatariside G may be an effective candidate for chemotherapyagainst cervical cancer [57]

34 Association of Tea with Anticancer Activities After watertea is the most widely consumed beverage [58] tea is

35 Association ofWalnut with Anticancer Activities Yunnanis not only the center of origins and evolution for fruits whichhas 66 families 134 genus and 499 species [65] but alsothe Chinese largest producer of walnut (2679000 ha) whichaccounts for 502 of China in 2013 Walnuts are rich in120596-3 fatty acids tocopherols 120573-sitosterol and pedunculaginwhich slow down the growth of prostate colon breast andrenal cancers [66] The tumor size in mice having walnutin their diet was one-fourth than that of the control diet[67] The 120572-linolenic acid and 120573-sitosterol from walnutoil decreased proliferation of MCF-7 cells [68] Changesin the miRNA expression profiles likely affect target genetranscripts involved in pathways of anti-inflammation anti-vascularization antiproliferation and apoptosis [69] Wal-nuts decrease the risk of these chronic diseases (cancertype 2 diabetes cardiovascular disease and visceral obesityvia inflammation) [70] Dietary walnut can reduce cancergrowth and development by its anticancer mechanism ofsuppressing the activation of NF120581B [71] The dihydroxy-341015840-dimethoxyflavone and regiolone from walnut leaves caninduce apoptosis in human breast adenocarcinoma cells [72]The bioactive compounds in walnut green husks are capableof killing prostate carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis [11]

36 Association of Mushrooms with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is richest in having species of wild mushrooms inChina which accounts for 902 in China and 441 inthe world It has 670 species of edible mushrooms whichaccounts for 724 in China including boletes (224 species)and edible boletes (144 species) accounting for 574 and724 in China respectively [73] The export of boletesand Tricholoma matsutake having anticancer activities from

Yunnan province is up to 91780000 and 57380000 USDin 2011 [13] Medicinal mushrooms have been used to treatcancer fungal infections hypertension diabetes inflam-mation and renal disorders [74] The most potent extractidentified from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited the growthof a gastric cancer cell line by interfering with cellularautophagy and cell cycle [75] Intake of mushrooms seems tobe inversely associatedwith the epithelial ovarian cancer [76]Polysaccharides from mushrooms have been widely usedin far Asia as antitumor immunostimulating antimicrobialhypocholesterolemic hypoglycemic and health-promotingagents [5] The water extract of Umbilicaria esculenta has agreat potential to be developed into an anticancer agent thattargets telomerase [77]

37 Association of Panax notoginseng with Anticancer Activi-ties Yunnan is the Chinese largest producer of Panax noto-ginseng which accounts for 97 of the production of Chinaand more than 400 products were made from it by 1302companies in China P notoginseng is a promising candidatein preventing and treating inflammation-associated coloncarcinogenesis [78] Macroporous resin from the leaves ofP notoginseng is enriched with low polarity PPD groupsaponins of 85 ethanol fraction which is a new alternativesource of anticancer saponins [79] A new protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside 6-O-120573-d-glucopyranosyl-20-O-120573-d-gluco-pyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol-3-one (1) was isolatedfrom the roots of P notoginseng which exhibited cytotoxicactivity against five human cancer cell lines [80] Anarabinogalactan RN1 from flowers of Panax notoginseng hadan antiangiogenic effect via BMP2 signaling and could bea potential novel inhibitor of angiogenesis [81] The majorsaponins in P notoginseng saponin extract were ginsenosidesRg1 (311) and Rb1 (344) which may provide significantnatural defense against human colon cancer [82] In additionYunnan is the richest in species of Amorphophalms knojac(667) and its largest producer in China The konjac gluco-mannans are associated with a range of health applicationswhich include decreasing the risk of gut cancer and coloncarcinogenesis through reduced toxicity of faecal water andprecancerous risk factors of human colon cancer [83]

4 Lower Cancer Mortality Associated withAnticancerous Food in Tibet

Tibet in China spans approximately over 1200000Km2 Itborders Myanmar Bhutan and Nepal Tibetans have beenadapted to an altitude exceeding 3500m in the early UpperPaleolithic [84] Tibet is one of the regions with lowestcancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0643permil) inChina especially colon cancer lung cancer nasopharyngealcancer and leukemia [17] (see Table 1)Major anticancer foodstructures are as follows

41 Association of Naked Barley with Anticancer ActivitiesTibet and its vicinity are not only the centers of domesticationof cultivated barley [85 86] but also the worldrsquos largest pro-ducer of naked barley for major food Barley and its products

are good sources of antioxidants [87] especially anticancerThe most common anthocyanin in the purple barley iscyanidin 3-glucoside whereas delphinidin 3-glucoside is themost abundant anthocyanin in the blue and black groups[87] Himalaya 292 for barley mutant has high contents of 120573-glucan (97) and protein (164) as well as amylose starch(816) [88] The intrinsic differences of 120573-glucans in barleyand other cereals will elicit variable immune and anticancerresponses The molecular mechanisms of 120573-glucan-inducedsignaling in immune cells are essential for the design ofnew therapeutic strategies against cancer [12 89]120573-D-glucanfrom barley regulates breast cancer-relevant gene expressionand may be useful for inhibiting endocrine-resistant breastcancer cell proliferation [90] Whole hulless barley is afunctional food that can reduce the prevalence of metabolicsyndrome [91]

42 Association of Milk with Anticancer Activities Milk con-sumption is prevalent in daily diets and its lactase persistenceis likely to have an independent origin in Tibetans [92] Themilk protein 120572-casein would provide a more natural andnontoxic approach to the development of novel anticancertherapies [93]

In addition Guizhou is not only one of the regions oflower cancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0756permil) inChina but also one of the cradles of human childhood

5 The Highest Cancer Mortality Associatedwith Food in Some Province of China

Human chronic disease outbreak owes its origin to con-sumption of brown rice and barley which were the staplediet of the ancient people whereas white rice and wheatwhite flour are now consumed as staple foods of mod-ern people [13] Yunnan Province is the lowest mortalityof cancers (0541permil) in China [17] or all over the world[94] which associated with the largest production base forbarley and tea as well as walnut and so forth in ChinaEast China includes Shanghai Jiangsu Zhejiang ShandongAnhui Fujian and Jiangxi 7 provincescity and it is thehighest mortality of cancers (16688permil) and the most cancervillages (76) in China which mainly covers some lowerreaches of rivers including the Yellow River Huaihe Riverand Yangtze River and also appears near the Dongting Lakeand Poyang Lake the number of cancer villages in Chinais in turn East China (76) gt Central China (28) gt NorthChina (24) = South China (24) gt Southwest China (12)gt Northwest China (3) = Northeast China (3) [95] Thehighest cancer mortality associated with barley dropped insome provinces of China especially Shanghai Jiangsu andZhejiang Nanjing (1073mgkg) and Shanghai (9559mgkg)as well as Hanzhou (757mgkg) cities are the highest soilPb2+ concentrations in 35 cities for China [96] The lipid-transfer protein from barley grain has an affinity to bind Co2+and Pb2+ but has no affinity towards Cd2+ Cu2+ Zn2+ andCr3+ [97] Barley 120573-glucan is a radioprotective agent andit can enhance radioprotection in the human hepatoma cellline HepG2 [98] Barley with polyphenols possesses many

other anticarcinogenic activities and high epicatechin maybe related to a reduced risk of breast cancer [99] and coloncancer Consumption of lunasin from barley could play animportant role in cancer prevention [100] but the barleycultivated areas in China in 1935 (6380000 ha) were 51times than that in 2012 Shanghai city in 1986 was 60 timesbarley cultivated more than in 2012 Jiangsu province in 1957(1401400 ha) was 75 times than in 2012 however Zhejiangprovince in 1935 (283800 ha) was 95 times cultivated than in2012

Shanghai city has not only the highest cancer mortality(2171permil) in China especially colon cancer lung cancerand female breast cancer [17] (see Table 1) but also has thelowest diversity of cultivated crops and its elevation is 40mColorectal cancer increases by 42 annually in Shanghaiwhich is faster than the average increasing rate of the world[101] Lunasin from soybean cotyledon and barley a peptidewith 43 amino acid residues demonstrated chemopreventiveand anticancer properties against colon and breast cancers[100 102] The consumption of barley rice has certain pre-vention and adjunctive dietary therapy functions for diabetesmellitus cardiovascular disease and cancers [103] Breastcancer is the most common cancer among women in urbanChina such as Shanghai and so forth however soy foodconsumption is significantly associated with decreased riskof breast cancer and lung cancer [104] but cultivated area ofsoybean in Shanghai is the lowest in China Fruit intake isinversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer [105]but cultivated area of fruits in Shanghai is the lowest in ChinaThe high intake of fruits vegetables milk and eggs mayreduce the risk of breast cancer whereas high animal foodintake may increase the risk [106] Age seems to contributeto increased morbidity andmortality of colorectal carcinomain Yangpu district of Shanghai but the mortality of colorectalcarcinoma appeared higher than the incidence [107]

Jiangsu province has not only the highest cancermortality(1936permil) in China especially gastric cancer and liver cancer[17] (see Table 1) but also a province of lowest altitude(lt50m) in China The elevation of Nanjing in Jiangsuprovince is 156m The barley with anticancer cultivatedareas of Jiangsu province in China in 1957 (1401400 ha)was 75 times than in 2012 Cancer outbreak owes its originto consumption of barley of the ancient people which isreplaced by wheat white flour of modern people Cancervillages of main production regions of Chinese wheat are inturn Anhui (26) gt Shangdong (16) gt Henan (15) gt Jiangsu(14) gtHebei (12) [95] There are significant correlationsbetween topsoil Pb concentration and gastric cancer as wellas grain Hg concentration with liver cancer in humans [108]Natural lycopene shows a potential anticancer activity andreduces gastric cancer incidence [109]The tricin from younggreen barley leaves on melanin production in B16 melanomacells inhibits melanin biosynthesis with higher efficacy thanarbutin and it could be used as a whitening agent [110]The annual average crude incidence and age-standardizedincidence by world population were 252permil and 179permilrespectively but Jiangsu being an area with relatively low riskof female breast cancer presented cancer registry areas from2006 to 2010 as 0703permil and 0481permil respectively [111]

Zhejiang province has very high cancer mortality(1727permil) in China especially for liver cancer [17] (seeTable 1)The crude incidence of cancer registered in Zhejiangprovince in 2009 was 3202permil however age-standardizedincidence by Chinese and world standard population wasseparately 16199permil and 20792permil meanwhile the crudemortality rate was 17697permil and the age-standardizedmortality by Chinese and world standard population were07917permil and 10702permil respectively [112] The highest soilconcentrations in Zhejiang province were 7036mgkg forPb 4749mgkg for Cr 1351mgkg for As 073mgkg forCd and 067mgkg for Hg while Cd caused the greatestcancer risk [113] The bioaccumulation of heavy metals infood tubers carries a considerable risk for human cancers[114] The inhibition of cancer cell viability and apoptosisby protocatechualdehyde in barley leaves may be result ofactivating transcription factor 3 expression through ERK12and p38-mediated transcriptional activation [115]

6 Conclusion and Future Prospects

Chronic disease prevention of early human migrations wasassociated with food structures from crop origin centersespecially from Asia with four centers of crop origin whichaccount for 58 in the world population The early modernhuman of Southwest China was related to many ancestorsof Asians Southwest China richest in anticancer crop notonly is the most important evolution base of Asian andanticancer crops but also has the lowest mortality andincidence of cancers in China Yunnan richest in anticancercrops is the cradle of human childhood and the lowest cancerincidence as well as mortality of cancers (0541permil) in Chinaespecially esophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancerleukemia female breast cancer and cervical cancer and alsothe largest center of origin and diversity of functional cropswith anticancer activities (brown rice barley buckwheattea walnut mushrooms Panax notoginseng Knojac etc)Tibet is not only one of the regions of lowest incidence andmortality of cancers (0643permil) in China especially coloncancer lung cancer nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemiabut also the largest center of origin and diversity of nakedbarley for major functional foods Shanghai and Jiangsu inChina have the highest mortality of cancers (1936sim2171permil)which are associated with barley cultivated areas droppedabout 65 times and 75 times respectively These resultsfurther support that Southwest China (especially Yunnan andTibet) is the center of lowest mortality of cancers (0643permil)in China based on coevolution between humanrsquos anticanceractivities and functional foods from crop origin center

2 Southwest Is the Lowest Mortality ofCancers in China

Theage-standardized incidence rate for cancers inChina dur-ing 1998sim2007 was 18586permil 20205permil inmen and 15915permilin women in urban areas but in rural areas it was 24434permiland 13790permil respectively [16] Cancer mortality in Chinaduring 2004-2005 was 13587permil cancer mortalities of sevenregions of China are stated in Table 1 East China (16688permil)gt Northeast China (13921permil) gt North China (13126permil)gt Central China (12426permil) gt South China (12281permil) gtNorthwest China (11433permil) gt Southwest China (09471permil)[17] (see Table 1) There are significant differences amongEast China and five other regions (I IV V VI or VII) formortality of major cancer the age-standardized rates of livercancer in China and world mortalities were 0184permil and0180permil respectively [18] There are significant differencesamong South China and six other regions (I II III IV VI orVII) formortality of nasopharyngeal cancer Nasopharyngealcarcinoma incidence and mortality were obviously higherin South China than in other regions and lowest in NorthChina and its crude incidence and mortality were 00316permiland 00153permil but world age-standardized incidence andmortality were 00244permil and 00118permil respectively [19]

There are significant differences among Northwest Chinaand six other regions (I II III IV V or VI) for mortalityof cervical cancer and gastric cancer Dietary habit was animportant factor contributing to gastric cancer especiallyregular consumption of fried grilled high-salt high-fatspicy food and drinking boiled brick tea [20]Wuwei a city inNorthwest China has high incidence of gastric cancer whichis because of the carcinogens due to lack of Vc infection ofHp atrophic gastritis and heritage [21]

There are significant differences among Northwest Chinaand three other regions (II V or VI) for esophageal can-cer (119901 lt 005) intake of dietary fiber is associatedwith a reduced risk of esophageal cancer for adults [22]whereas the risk is increased with red meat [23] Milletexhibits multiple biological activities including anticancerantioxidant immunomodulatory antifungal and antihyper-glycemia effects [24] the major genetic split for broomcornmillet divided the accessions into an eastern and a westerngrouping in Northwestern China [25]

There are significant differences among Southwest Chinaand four other regions (I II III or V) for mortality ofbreast cancer Mortality rates increased from Southwest toNortheast and from West to East in China from 1991 to2011 [26] There are significant differences among SouthwestChina and three other regions (I III or VII) for mortality ofleukemia There is a significant inverse association betweenhigh tea consumption and leukemia risk [27]The patterns ofsomatic mutation suggest relevant connections between thefunctional categories of genes driving acutemyeloid leukemia[28] Xuanwei and Fuyuan of Southwest China have strikinglyhigh incidence of lung cancer due to food with higher Cdand Ti contents [29] Southwest China is not only the regionwith lowest incidence and mortality of cancers in China [17](see Table 1) but also a geographical area richest in anticancercrop

3 The Lowest Cancer Mortality Associatedwith Anticancer Crops in Yunnan

Yunnanprovince inChina spans approximately 394000Km2It borders Vietnam Laos and Myanmar Kunming is theprovincial capital of Yunnan and its elevation is 1894m Yun-nan is not only the cradle of human childhood a transitionalregion among East Asia continent SouthAsian subcontinentand Indo-China Peninsula but also a core integration areaof Chinese culture Indian culture and Mid-south Peninsulaculture which all merge with the local culture [30] Yunnanprovince is renowned for three kingdoms of plants animaland nonferrous metals parallel evolution of crop adaptationto nonferrous metals and anticancer foods for human beingare mostly cultivated in this region

Yunnan is not only the region with lowest incidenceand mortality of cancers (0541permil) in China especiallyesophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancer leukemiafemale breast cancer and cervical cancer [17] (see Table 1)but also the largest center of origin and diversity of cultivatedcrops [13] The foodsplant extracts of turmeric and Chinesegoldthread aremore likely to be beneficial against cancer [31]The cysteine-conjugated metabolites of shogaols are noveldietary colon cancer preventive agents [32] Consumption ofherbal tea is associated with reduced risk of colon cancerbut iced coffee increases rectal cancer risk [33] Yunnan isnot only a core integration area of Vavilovrsquos three centersof crop origin including Chinese Center Indian Centerand Central Asiatic Center but also the largest center oforigin and diversity of anticancer cropMajor anticancer foodstructures for crop are as follows

31 Association of Brown Rice with Anticancer Activities Riceoriginates from a single domestication 82ndash135 Kya in theSouthwest China [34] In 2013 global rice yield was 7007million tons but Chinese rice yield was 2033 million tonsYunnan is a region not only presenting great genetic diver-sity but also the center of genetic differentiation of indicaand japonica subspecies of Asian cultivated rice howeverpigmented rice with similar wild rice with 2384 accessionsaccounts for 451 of rice landrace in Yunnan [35] but whiterice for present day human consumption accounts for 95rice cultivars in ChinaMGN-3 from rice bran may representa novel adjuvant for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer[36] The momilactone B in rice bran caused G1 cell cyclearrest and apoptosis in U937 cells which may be related toanticancer activity [37] Atractylenolide I might contributeto the anticancer effect of germinated brown rice [38] Thepurple rice extract could be developed for functional foodsfor colon cancer prevention [39] Human HepG2 cell apop-tosis induced by Methanolic-Payao-Purple rice extracts andvinblastine was mediated through a mitochondrial pathway[40] 120574-Oryzanol proanthocyanidin and 120574-tocotrienol in redrice extract may have a potential to serve as food-derivedchemotherapeutic agents for cancer patients [41]Thai purplerice cooked under sterilization could be a potential sourceof protocatechuic acid exerting high antiproliferative activity[42] Treatments with peonidin-3-glucoside and cyaniding-3-glucoside from black rice extracts significantly reduced

32 Association of Barley with Anticancer Activities Barleyis the most important crop among functional foods [13]Yunnan is the center of second origin for two naked bar-leys and the largest diversity center in China [14] as wellas the largest Chinese producer All 120573-glucans differ bytheir length and branching structures which are consideredbiological response modifiers with health beneficial effectsincluding anticancer activities [44]The genotypes of vitaminE 315 120583gg dry weight while being of ascorbic acid equivalentantioxidant capacity 1581mg AEAC100 g fresh weight arepotential candidates for breeding of barley cultivars withhigh vitamin E content or antioxidant capacity at harvesteven after storage [45] The content (mgkg) of tocotrienolsfor anticancer activities in barley is higher that is barley(910) gt rice bran (465) gt oat (210) gt maize (200) gt wheatgerm oil (189) gt rye (92) [46] Green barley extract inducedpreferential antiproliferative and proapoptotic signals withinB-lineage leukemialymphoma cells [47] The bioactive com-pounds in germinated barley and other cereals may reducethe risk of diabetic agents and colon cancer [48] Protocat-echualdehyde present in barley suppressed cell growth andinduced apoptosis which may be a result of deacetylase2-mediated cyclin D1 suppression [49] Lunasin present inbarley has been observed to prevent skin cancer which couldplay an important role in the prevention of cancer in humans[50] Remarkably high reduction of tumorigenesis and induc-tion of apoptosis in the liver section were achieved in themouse models with barley-Shochu distillation remnants [51]Germinated barley foodstuff significantly increased the pro-duction of a tumor suppressor gene which showed promisingantineoplastic effects [52]

33 Association of Buckwheat with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is not only the center of origins and evolution forbuckwheat [13 14] but also the largest Chinese producer ofTartary buckwheat which accounts for 601 in China Rutin(22155mg100 g at 7 days) and quercitrin (23010mg100 gat 8 days) contents after sowing of buckwheat sprouts wereapproximately 35 and 65 times higher than those of buck-wheat seeds [53] Yunnan golden buckwheat has uniqueanticancer effects and its product ldquoWeimainingrdquo capsulesis the national second-class anticancer drug [54] TBWSP31from Tartary buckwheat water-soluble extracts is a novelantitumor protein and apoptosis inducer [55] and alsoquercetin from its seeds and bran exhibited the strongestcytotoxic effects against the human hepatoma cell line [56]Tatariside G may be an effective candidate for chemotherapyagainst cervical cancer [57]

34 Association of Tea with Anticancer Activities After watertea is the most widely consumed beverage [58] tea is

cultivated in Asia which is producing more than 91 of theworld Green tea and quercetin enhanced the therapeuticeffect of docetaxel in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells[59] Green tea polyphenols have strong antioxidants and theinhibition of 16 cancers [13] such as (minus)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells[60]The articles on the association of teawith cancer are 3214according to PubMed literature database Yunnan provincein China is center of origin for Camellia sinensis which has35 species and 3 varieties accounting for 766 of Camelliasinensis in the world [13 14 61] There are more than 500compounds identified Tea in Yunnan has 15 accessions for350ndash468 polyphenols and 14 accessions for 5 caffeine[61] Epigallocatechin-gallate in green tea has been shownto have antiproliferative activity in colon cancer cells [62]Catechins of green tea are flavanols which have many healthrelated characteristics they especially lower the cytotoxicityand cost of anticancer treatment inhibit proliferation ofbreast cancer cells and block carcinogenesis [1 63] Humanswould be able to achieve consistent cancer prevention effectsprovided there is timely intervention of green tea catechinsat appropriate high-dose levels [58] Green tea and coffeeconsumption has protective effects on esophageal cancer[64] Therefore green tea is the most economic and effectivemethod for anticancer treatment

35 Association ofWalnut with Anticancer Activities Yunnanis not only the center of origins and evolution for fruits whichhas 66 families 134 genus and 499 species [65] but alsothe Chinese largest producer of walnut (2679000 ha) whichaccounts for 502 of China in 2013 Walnuts are rich in120596-3 fatty acids tocopherols 120573-sitosterol and pedunculaginwhich slow down the growth of prostate colon breast andrenal cancers [66] The tumor size in mice having walnutin their diet was one-fourth than that of the control diet[67] The 120572-linolenic acid and 120573-sitosterol from walnutoil decreased proliferation of MCF-7 cells [68] Changesin the miRNA expression profiles likely affect target genetranscripts involved in pathways of anti-inflammation anti-vascularization antiproliferation and apoptosis [69] Wal-nuts decrease the risk of these chronic diseases (cancertype 2 diabetes cardiovascular disease and visceral obesityvia inflammation) [70] Dietary walnut can reduce cancergrowth and development by its anticancer mechanism ofsuppressing the activation of NF120581B [71] The dihydroxy-341015840-dimethoxyflavone and regiolone from walnut leaves caninduce apoptosis in human breast adenocarcinoma cells [72]The bioactive compounds in walnut green husks are capableof killing prostate carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis [11]

36 Association of Mushrooms with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is richest in having species of wild mushrooms inChina which accounts for 902 in China and 441 inthe world It has 670 species of edible mushrooms whichaccounts for 724 in China including boletes (224 species)and edible boletes (144 species) accounting for 574 and724 in China respectively [73] The export of boletesand Tricholoma matsutake having anticancer activities from

Yunnan province is up to 91780000 and 57380000 USDin 2011 [13] Medicinal mushrooms have been used to treatcancer fungal infections hypertension diabetes inflam-mation and renal disorders [74] The most potent extractidentified from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited the growthof a gastric cancer cell line by interfering with cellularautophagy and cell cycle [75] Intake of mushrooms seems tobe inversely associatedwith the epithelial ovarian cancer [76]Polysaccharides from mushrooms have been widely usedin far Asia as antitumor immunostimulating antimicrobialhypocholesterolemic hypoglycemic and health-promotingagents [5] The water extract of Umbilicaria esculenta has agreat potential to be developed into an anticancer agent thattargets telomerase [77]

37 Association of Panax notoginseng with Anticancer Activi-ties Yunnan is the Chinese largest producer of Panax noto-ginseng which accounts for 97 of the production of Chinaand more than 400 products were made from it by 1302companies in China P notoginseng is a promising candidatein preventing and treating inflammation-associated coloncarcinogenesis [78] Macroporous resin from the leaves ofP notoginseng is enriched with low polarity PPD groupsaponins of 85 ethanol fraction which is a new alternativesource of anticancer saponins [79] A new protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside 6-O-120573-d-glucopyranosyl-20-O-120573-d-gluco-pyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol-3-one (1) was isolatedfrom the roots of P notoginseng which exhibited cytotoxicactivity against five human cancer cell lines [80] Anarabinogalactan RN1 from flowers of Panax notoginseng hadan antiangiogenic effect via BMP2 signaling and could bea potential novel inhibitor of angiogenesis [81] The majorsaponins in P notoginseng saponin extract were ginsenosidesRg1 (311) and Rb1 (344) which may provide significantnatural defense against human colon cancer [82] In additionYunnan is the richest in species of Amorphophalms knojac(667) and its largest producer in China The konjac gluco-mannans are associated with a range of health applicationswhich include decreasing the risk of gut cancer and coloncarcinogenesis through reduced toxicity of faecal water andprecancerous risk factors of human colon cancer [83]

4 Lower Cancer Mortality Associated withAnticancerous Food in Tibet

Tibet in China spans approximately over 1200000Km2 Itborders Myanmar Bhutan and Nepal Tibetans have beenadapted to an altitude exceeding 3500m in the early UpperPaleolithic [84] Tibet is one of the regions with lowestcancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0643permil) inChina especially colon cancer lung cancer nasopharyngealcancer and leukemia [17] (see Table 1)Major anticancer foodstructures are as follows

41 Association of Naked Barley with Anticancer ActivitiesTibet and its vicinity are not only the centers of domesticationof cultivated barley [85 86] but also the worldrsquos largest pro-ducer of naked barley for major food Barley and its products

are good sources of antioxidants [87] especially anticancerThe most common anthocyanin in the purple barley iscyanidin 3-glucoside whereas delphinidin 3-glucoside is themost abundant anthocyanin in the blue and black groups[87] Himalaya 292 for barley mutant has high contents of 120573-glucan (97) and protein (164) as well as amylose starch(816) [88] The intrinsic differences of 120573-glucans in barleyand other cereals will elicit variable immune and anticancerresponses The molecular mechanisms of 120573-glucan-inducedsignaling in immune cells are essential for the design ofnew therapeutic strategies against cancer [12 89]120573-D-glucanfrom barley regulates breast cancer-relevant gene expressionand may be useful for inhibiting endocrine-resistant breastcancer cell proliferation [90] Whole hulless barley is afunctional food that can reduce the prevalence of metabolicsyndrome [91]

42 Association of Milk with Anticancer Activities Milk con-sumption is prevalent in daily diets and its lactase persistenceis likely to have an independent origin in Tibetans [92] Themilk protein 120572-casein would provide a more natural andnontoxic approach to the development of novel anticancertherapies [93]

In addition Guizhou is not only one of the regions oflower cancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0756permil) inChina but also one of the cradles of human childhood

5 The Highest Cancer Mortality Associatedwith Food in Some Province of China

Human chronic disease outbreak owes its origin to con-sumption of brown rice and barley which were the staplediet of the ancient people whereas white rice and wheatwhite flour are now consumed as staple foods of mod-ern people [13] Yunnan Province is the lowest mortalityof cancers (0541permil) in China [17] or all over the world[94] which associated with the largest production base forbarley and tea as well as walnut and so forth in ChinaEast China includes Shanghai Jiangsu Zhejiang ShandongAnhui Fujian and Jiangxi 7 provincescity and it is thehighest mortality of cancers (16688permil) and the most cancervillages (76) in China which mainly covers some lowerreaches of rivers including the Yellow River Huaihe Riverand Yangtze River and also appears near the Dongting Lakeand Poyang Lake the number of cancer villages in Chinais in turn East China (76) gt Central China (28) gt NorthChina (24) = South China (24) gt Southwest China (12)gt Northwest China (3) = Northeast China (3) [95] Thehighest cancer mortality associated with barley dropped insome provinces of China especially Shanghai Jiangsu andZhejiang Nanjing (1073mgkg) and Shanghai (9559mgkg)as well as Hanzhou (757mgkg) cities are the highest soilPb2+ concentrations in 35 cities for China [96] The lipid-transfer protein from barley grain has an affinity to bind Co2+and Pb2+ but has no affinity towards Cd2+ Cu2+ Zn2+ andCr3+ [97] Barley 120573-glucan is a radioprotective agent andit can enhance radioprotection in the human hepatoma cellline HepG2 [98] Barley with polyphenols possesses many

other anticarcinogenic activities and high epicatechin maybe related to a reduced risk of breast cancer [99] and coloncancer Consumption of lunasin from barley could play animportant role in cancer prevention [100] but the barleycultivated areas in China in 1935 (6380000 ha) were 51times than that in 2012 Shanghai city in 1986 was 60 timesbarley cultivated more than in 2012 Jiangsu province in 1957(1401400 ha) was 75 times than in 2012 however Zhejiangprovince in 1935 (283800 ha) was 95 times cultivated than in2012

Shanghai city has not only the highest cancer mortality(2171permil) in China especially colon cancer lung cancerand female breast cancer [17] (see Table 1) but also has thelowest diversity of cultivated crops and its elevation is 40mColorectal cancer increases by 42 annually in Shanghaiwhich is faster than the average increasing rate of the world[101] Lunasin from soybean cotyledon and barley a peptidewith 43 amino acid residues demonstrated chemopreventiveand anticancer properties against colon and breast cancers[100 102] The consumption of barley rice has certain pre-vention and adjunctive dietary therapy functions for diabetesmellitus cardiovascular disease and cancers [103] Breastcancer is the most common cancer among women in urbanChina such as Shanghai and so forth however soy foodconsumption is significantly associated with decreased riskof breast cancer and lung cancer [104] but cultivated area ofsoybean in Shanghai is the lowest in China Fruit intake isinversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer [105]but cultivated area of fruits in Shanghai is the lowest in ChinaThe high intake of fruits vegetables milk and eggs mayreduce the risk of breast cancer whereas high animal foodintake may increase the risk [106] Age seems to contributeto increased morbidity andmortality of colorectal carcinomain Yangpu district of Shanghai but the mortality of colorectalcarcinoma appeared higher than the incidence [107]

Jiangsu province has not only the highest cancermortality(1936permil) in China especially gastric cancer and liver cancer[17] (see Table 1) but also a province of lowest altitude(lt50m) in China The elevation of Nanjing in Jiangsuprovince is 156m The barley with anticancer cultivatedareas of Jiangsu province in China in 1957 (1401400 ha)was 75 times than in 2012 Cancer outbreak owes its originto consumption of barley of the ancient people which isreplaced by wheat white flour of modern people Cancervillages of main production regions of Chinese wheat are inturn Anhui (26) gt Shangdong (16) gt Henan (15) gt Jiangsu(14) gtHebei (12) [95] There are significant correlationsbetween topsoil Pb concentration and gastric cancer as wellas grain Hg concentration with liver cancer in humans [108]Natural lycopene shows a potential anticancer activity andreduces gastric cancer incidence [109]The tricin from younggreen barley leaves on melanin production in B16 melanomacells inhibits melanin biosynthesis with higher efficacy thanarbutin and it could be used as a whitening agent [110]The annual average crude incidence and age-standardizedincidence by world population were 252permil and 179permilrespectively but Jiangsu being an area with relatively low riskof female breast cancer presented cancer registry areas from2006 to 2010 as 0703permil and 0481permil respectively [111]

Zhejiang province has very high cancer mortality(1727permil) in China especially for liver cancer [17] (seeTable 1)The crude incidence of cancer registered in Zhejiangprovince in 2009 was 3202permil however age-standardizedincidence by Chinese and world standard population wasseparately 16199permil and 20792permil meanwhile the crudemortality rate was 17697permil and the age-standardizedmortality by Chinese and world standard population were07917permil and 10702permil respectively [112] The highest soilconcentrations in Zhejiang province were 7036mgkg forPb 4749mgkg for Cr 1351mgkg for As 073mgkg forCd and 067mgkg for Hg while Cd caused the greatestcancer risk [113] The bioaccumulation of heavy metals infood tubers carries a considerable risk for human cancers[114] The inhibition of cancer cell viability and apoptosisby protocatechualdehyde in barley leaves may be result ofactivating transcription factor 3 expression through ERK12and p38-mediated transcriptional activation [115]

6 Conclusion and Future Prospects

Chronic disease prevention of early human migrations wasassociated with food structures from crop origin centersespecially from Asia with four centers of crop origin whichaccount for 58 in the world population The early modernhuman of Southwest China was related to many ancestorsof Asians Southwest China richest in anticancer crop notonly is the most important evolution base of Asian andanticancer crops but also has the lowest mortality andincidence of cancers in China Yunnan richest in anticancercrops is the cradle of human childhood and the lowest cancerincidence as well as mortality of cancers (0541permil) in Chinaespecially esophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancerleukemia female breast cancer and cervical cancer and alsothe largest center of origin and diversity of functional cropswith anticancer activities (brown rice barley buckwheattea walnut mushrooms Panax notoginseng Knojac etc)Tibet is not only one of the regions of lowest incidence andmortality of cancers (0643permil) in China especially coloncancer lung cancer nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemiabut also the largest center of origin and diversity of nakedbarley for major functional foods Shanghai and Jiangsu inChina have the highest mortality of cancers (1936sim2171permil)which are associated with barley cultivated areas droppedabout 65 times and 75 times respectively These resultsfurther support that Southwest China (especially Yunnan andTibet) is the center of lowest mortality of cancers (0643permil)in China based on coevolution between humanrsquos anticanceractivities and functional foods from crop origin center

32 Association of Barley with Anticancer Activities Barleyis the most important crop among functional foods [13]Yunnan is the center of second origin for two naked bar-leys and the largest diversity center in China [14] as wellas the largest Chinese producer All 120573-glucans differ bytheir length and branching structures which are consideredbiological response modifiers with health beneficial effectsincluding anticancer activities [44]The genotypes of vitaminE 315 120583gg dry weight while being of ascorbic acid equivalentantioxidant capacity 1581mg AEAC100 g fresh weight arepotential candidates for breeding of barley cultivars withhigh vitamin E content or antioxidant capacity at harvesteven after storage [45] The content (mgkg) of tocotrienolsfor anticancer activities in barley is higher that is barley(910) gt rice bran (465) gt oat (210) gt maize (200) gt wheatgerm oil (189) gt rye (92) [46] Green barley extract inducedpreferential antiproliferative and proapoptotic signals withinB-lineage leukemialymphoma cells [47] The bioactive com-pounds in germinated barley and other cereals may reducethe risk of diabetic agents and colon cancer [48] Protocat-echualdehyde present in barley suppressed cell growth andinduced apoptosis which may be a result of deacetylase2-mediated cyclin D1 suppression [49] Lunasin present inbarley has been observed to prevent skin cancer which couldplay an important role in the prevention of cancer in humans[50] Remarkably high reduction of tumorigenesis and induc-tion of apoptosis in the liver section were achieved in themouse models with barley-Shochu distillation remnants [51]Germinated barley foodstuff significantly increased the pro-duction of a tumor suppressor gene which showed promisingantineoplastic effects [52]

33 Association of Buckwheat with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is not only the center of origins and evolution forbuckwheat [13 14] but also the largest Chinese producer ofTartary buckwheat which accounts for 601 in China Rutin(22155mg100 g at 7 days) and quercitrin (23010mg100 gat 8 days) contents after sowing of buckwheat sprouts wereapproximately 35 and 65 times higher than those of buck-wheat seeds [53] Yunnan golden buckwheat has uniqueanticancer effects and its product ldquoWeimainingrdquo capsulesis the national second-class anticancer drug [54] TBWSP31from Tartary buckwheat water-soluble extracts is a novelantitumor protein and apoptosis inducer [55] and alsoquercetin from its seeds and bran exhibited the strongestcytotoxic effects against the human hepatoma cell line [56]Tatariside G may be an effective candidate for chemotherapyagainst cervical cancer [57]

34 Association of Tea with Anticancer Activities After watertea is the most widely consumed beverage [58] tea is

cultivated in Asia which is producing more than 91 of theworld Green tea and quercetin enhanced the therapeuticeffect of docetaxel in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells[59] Green tea polyphenols have strong antioxidants and theinhibition of 16 cancers [13] such as (minus)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells[60]The articles on the association of teawith cancer are 3214according to PubMed literature database Yunnan provincein China is center of origin for Camellia sinensis which has35 species and 3 varieties accounting for 766 of Camelliasinensis in the world [13 14 61] There are more than 500compounds identified Tea in Yunnan has 15 accessions for350ndash468 polyphenols and 14 accessions for 5 caffeine[61] Epigallocatechin-gallate in green tea has been shownto have antiproliferative activity in colon cancer cells [62]Catechins of green tea are flavanols which have many healthrelated characteristics they especially lower the cytotoxicityand cost of anticancer treatment inhibit proliferation ofbreast cancer cells and block carcinogenesis [1 63] Humanswould be able to achieve consistent cancer prevention effectsprovided there is timely intervention of green tea catechinsat appropriate high-dose levels [58] Green tea and coffeeconsumption has protective effects on esophageal cancer[64] Therefore green tea is the most economic and effectivemethod for anticancer treatment

35 Association ofWalnut with Anticancer Activities Yunnanis not only the center of origins and evolution for fruits whichhas 66 families 134 genus and 499 species [65] but alsothe Chinese largest producer of walnut (2679000 ha) whichaccounts for 502 of China in 2013 Walnuts are rich in120596-3 fatty acids tocopherols 120573-sitosterol and pedunculaginwhich slow down the growth of prostate colon breast andrenal cancers [66] The tumor size in mice having walnutin their diet was one-fourth than that of the control diet[67] The 120572-linolenic acid and 120573-sitosterol from walnutoil decreased proliferation of MCF-7 cells [68] Changesin the miRNA expression profiles likely affect target genetranscripts involved in pathways of anti-inflammation anti-vascularization antiproliferation and apoptosis [69] Wal-nuts decrease the risk of these chronic diseases (cancertype 2 diabetes cardiovascular disease and visceral obesityvia inflammation) [70] Dietary walnut can reduce cancergrowth and development by its anticancer mechanism ofsuppressing the activation of NF120581B [71] The dihydroxy-341015840-dimethoxyflavone and regiolone from walnut leaves caninduce apoptosis in human breast adenocarcinoma cells [72]The bioactive compounds in walnut green husks are capableof killing prostate carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis [11]

36 Association of Mushrooms with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is richest in having species of wild mushrooms inChina which accounts for 902 in China and 441 inthe world It has 670 species of edible mushrooms whichaccounts for 724 in China including boletes (224 species)and edible boletes (144 species) accounting for 574 and724 in China respectively [73] The export of boletesand Tricholoma matsutake having anticancer activities from

Yunnan province is up to 91780000 and 57380000 USDin 2011 [13] Medicinal mushrooms have been used to treatcancer fungal infections hypertension diabetes inflam-mation and renal disorders [74] The most potent extractidentified from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited the growthof a gastric cancer cell line by interfering with cellularautophagy and cell cycle [75] Intake of mushrooms seems tobe inversely associatedwith the epithelial ovarian cancer [76]Polysaccharides from mushrooms have been widely usedin far Asia as antitumor immunostimulating antimicrobialhypocholesterolemic hypoglycemic and health-promotingagents [5] The water extract of Umbilicaria esculenta has agreat potential to be developed into an anticancer agent thattargets telomerase [77]

37 Association of Panax notoginseng with Anticancer Activi-ties Yunnan is the Chinese largest producer of Panax noto-ginseng which accounts for 97 of the production of Chinaand more than 400 products were made from it by 1302companies in China P notoginseng is a promising candidatein preventing and treating inflammation-associated coloncarcinogenesis [78] Macroporous resin from the leaves ofP notoginseng is enriched with low polarity PPD groupsaponins of 85 ethanol fraction which is a new alternativesource of anticancer saponins [79] A new protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside 6-O-120573-d-glucopyranosyl-20-O-120573-d-gluco-pyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol-3-one (1) was isolatedfrom the roots of P notoginseng which exhibited cytotoxicactivity against five human cancer cell lines [80] Anarabinogalactan RN1 from flowers of Panax notoginseng hadan antiangiogenic effect via BMP2 signaling and could bea potential novel inhibitor of angiogenesis [81] The majorsaponins in P notoginseng saponin extract were ginsenosidesRg1 (311) and Rb1 (344) which may provide significantnatural defense against human colon cancer [82] In additionYunnan is the richest in species of Amorphophalms knojac(667) and its largest producer in China The konjac gluco-mannans are associated with a range of health applicationswhich include decreasing the risk of gut cancer and coloncarcinogenesis through reduced toxicity of faecal water andprecancerous risk factors of human colon cancer [83]

4 Lower Cancer Mortality Associated withAnticancerous Food in Tibet

Tibet in China spans approximately over 1200000Km2 Itborders Myanmar Bhutan and Nepal Tibetans have beenadapted to an altitude exceeding 3500m in the early UpperPaleolithic [84] Tibet is one of the regions with lowestcancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0643permil) inChina especially colon cancer lung cancer nasopharyngealcancer and leukemia [17] (see Table 1)Major anticancer foodstructures are as follows

41 Association of Naked Barley with Anticancer ActivitiesTibet and its vicinity are not only the centers of domesticationof cultivated barley [85 86] but also the worldrsquos largest pro-ducer of naked barley for major food Barley and its products

are good sources of antioxidants [87] especially anticancerThe most common anthocyanin in the purple barley iscyanidin 3-glucoside whereas delphinidin 3-glucoside is themost abundant anthocyanin in the blue and black groups[87] Himalaya 292 for barley mutant has high contents of 120573-glucan (97) and protein (164) as well as amylose starch(816) [88] The intrinsic differences of 120573-glucans in barleyand other cereals will elicit variable immune and anticancerresponses The molecular mechanisms of 120573-glucan-inducedsignaling in immune cells are essential for the design ofnew therapeutic strategies against cancer [12 89]120573-D-glucanfrom barley regulates breast cancer-relevant gene expressionand may be useful for inhibiting endocrine-resistant breastcancer cell proliferation [90] Whole hulless barley is afunctional food that can reduce the prevalence of metabolicsyndrome [91]

42 Association of Milk with Anticancer Activities Milk con-sumption is prevalent in daily diets and its lactase persistenceis likely to have an independent origin in Tibetans [92] Themilk protein 120572-casein would provide a more natural andnontoxic approach to the development of novel anticancertherapies [93]

In addition Guizhou is not only one of the regions oflower cancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0756permil) inChina but also one of the cradles of human childhood

5 The Highest Cancer Mortality Associatedwith Food in Some Province of China

Human chronic disease outbreak owes its origin to con-sumption of brown rice and barley which were the staplediet of the ancient people whereas white rice and wheatwhite flour are now consumed as staple foods of mod-ern people [13] Yunnan Province is the lowest mortalityof cancers (0541permil) in China [17] or all over the world[94] which associated with the largest production base forbarley and tea as well as walnut and so forth in ChinaEast China includes Shanghai Jiangsu Zhejiang ShandongAnhui Fujian and Jiangxi 7 provincescity and it is thehighest mortality of cancers (16688permil) and the most cancervillages (76) in China which mainly covers some lowerreaches of rivers including the Yellow River Huaihe Riverand Yangtze River and also appears near the Dongting Lakeand Poyang Lake the number of cancer villages in Chinais in turn East China (76) gt Central China (28) gt NorthChina (24) = South China (24) gt Southwest China (12)gt Northwest China (3) = Northeast China (3) [95] Thehighest cancer mortality associated with barley dropped insome provinces of China especially Shanghai Jiangsu andZhejiang Nanjing (1073mgkg) and Shanghai (9559mgkg)as well as Hanzhou (757mgkg) cities are the highest soilPb2+ concentrations in 35 cities for China [96] The lipid-transfer protein from barley grain has an affinity to bind Co2+and Pb2+ but has no affinity towards Cd2+ Cu2+ Zn2+ andCr3+ [97] Barley 120573-glucan is a radioprotective agent andit can enhance radioprotection in the human hepatoma cellline HepG2 [98] Barley with polyphenols possesses many

other anticarcinogenic activities and high epicatechin maybe related to a reduced risk of breast cancer [99] and coloncancer Consumption of lunasin from barley could play animportant role in cancer prevention [100] but the barleycultivated areas in China in 1935 (6380000 ha) were 51times than that in 2012 Shanghai city in 1986 was 60 timesbarley cultivated more than in 2012 Jiangsu province in 1957(1401400 ha) was 75 times than in 2012 however Zhejiangprovince in 1935 (283800 ha) was 95 times cultivated than in2012

Shanghai city has not only the highest cancer mortality(2171permil) in China especially colon cancer lung cancerand female breast cancer [17] (see Table 1) but also has thelowest diversity of cultivated crops and its elevation is 40mColorectal cancer increases by 42 annually in Shanghaiwhich is faster than the average increasing rate of the world[101] Lunasin from soybean cotyledon and barley a peptidewith 43 amino acid residues demonstrated chemopreventiveand anticancer properties against colon and breast cancers[100 102] The consumption of barley rice has certain pre-vention and adjunctive dietary therapy functions for diabetesmellitus cardiovascular disease and cancers [103] Breastcancer is the most common cancer among women in urbanChina such as Shanghai and so forth however soy foodconsumption is significantly associated with decreased riskof breast cancer and lung cancer [104] but cultivated area ofsoybean in Shanghai is the lowest in China Fruit intake isinversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer [105]but cultivated area of fruits in Shanghai is the lowest in ChinaThe high intake of fruits vegetables milk and eggs mayreduce the risk of breast cancer whereas high animal foodintake may increase the risk [106] Age seems to contributeto increased morbidity andmortality of colorectal carcinomain Yangpu district of Shanghai but the mortality of colorectalcarcinoma appeared higher than the incidence [107]

Jiangsu province has not only the highest cancermortality(1936permil) in China especially gastric cancer and liver cancer[17] (see Table 1) but also a province of lowest altitude(lt50m) in China The elevation of Nanjing in Jiangsuprovince is 156m The barley with anticancer cultivatedareas of Jiangsu province in China in 1957 (1401400 ha)was 75 times than in 2012 Cancer outbreak owes its originto consumption of barley of the ancient people which isreplaced by wheat white flour of modern people Cancervillages of main production regions of Chinese wheat are inturn Anhui (26) gt Shangdong (16) gt Henan (15) gt Jiangsu(14) gtHebei (12) [95] There are significant correlationsbetween topsoil Pb concentration and gastric cancer as wellas grain Hg concentration with liver cancer in humans [108]Natural lycopene shows a potential anticancer activity andreduces gastric cancer incidence [109]The tricin from younggreen barley leaves on melanin production in B16 melanomacells inhibits melanin biosynthesis with higher efficacy thanarbutin and it could be used as a whitening agent [110]The annual average crude incidence and age-standardizedincidence by world population were 252permil and 179permilrespectively but Jiangsu being an area with relatively low riskof female breast cancer presented cancer registry areas from2006 to 2010 as 0703permil and 0481permil respectively [111]

Zhejiang province has very high cancer mortality(1727permil) in China especially for liver cancer [17] (seeTable 1)The crude incidence of cancer registered in Zhejiangprovince in 2009 was 3202permil however age-standardizedincidence by Chinese and world standard population wasseparately 16199permil and 20792permil meanwhile the crudemortality rate was 17697permil and the age-standardizedmortality by Chinese and world standard population were07917permil and 10702permil respectively [112] The highest soilconcentrations in Zhejiang province were 7036mgkg forPb 4749mgkg for Cr 1351mgkg for As 073mgkg forCd and 067mgkg for Hg while Cd caused the greatestcancer risk [113] The bioaccumulation of heavy metals infood tubers carries a considerable risk for human cancers[114] The inhibition of cancer cell viability and apoptosisby protocatechualdehyde in barley leaves may be result ofactivating transcription factor 3 expression through ERK12and p38-mediated transcriptional activation [115]

6 Conclusion and Future Prospects

Chronic disease prevention of early human migrations wasassociated with food structures from crop origin centersespecially from Asia with four centers of crop origin whichaccount for 58 in the world population The early modernhuman of Southwest China was related to many ancestorsof Asians Southwest China richest in anticancer crop notonly is the most important evolution base of Asian andanticancer crops but also has the lowest mortality andincidence of cancers in China Yunnan richest in anticancercrops is the cradle of human childhood and the lowest cancerincidence as well as mortality of cancers (0541permil) in Chinaespecially esophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancerleukemia female breast cancer and cervical cancer and alsothe largest center of origin and diversity of functional cropswith anticancer activities (brown rice barley buckwheattea walnut mushrooms Panax notoginseng Knojac etc)Tibet is not only one of the regions of lowest incidence andmortality of cancers (0643permil) in China especially coloncancer lung cancer nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemiabut also the largest center of origin and diversity of nakedbarley for major functional foods Shanghai and Jiangsu inChina have the highest mortality of cancers (1936sim2171permil)which are associated with barley cultivated areas droppedabout 65 times and 75 times respectively These resultsfurther support that Southwest China (especially Yunnan andTibet) is the center of lowest mortality of cancers (0643permil)in China based on coevolution between humanrsquos anticanceractivities and functional foods from crop origin center

the tumor size and volume in vivo [43] China and India arethe worldrsquos largest producers of rice which account for 26and 20 of all world rice production respectively ThereforeSouthwest China and North India have the lowest incidenceand mortality of cancers associated with origin center of riceespecially pigmented rice

32 Association of Barley with Anticancer Activities Barleyis the most important crop among functional foods [13]Yunnan is the center of second origin for two naked bar-leys and the largest diversity center in China [14] as wellas the largest Chinese producer All 120573-glucans differ bytheir length and branching structures which are consideredbiological response modifiers with health beneficial effectsincluding anticancer activities [44]The genotypes of vitaminE 315 120583gg dry weight while being of ascorbic acid equivalentantioxidant capacity 1581mg AEAC100 g fresh weight arepotential candidates for breeding of barley cultivars withhigh vitamin E content or antioxidant capacity at harvesteven after storage [45] The content (mgkg) of tocotrienolsfor anticancer activities in barley is higher that is barley(910) gt rice bran (465) gt oat (210) gt maize (200) gt wheatgerm oil (189) gt rye (92) [46] Green barley extract inducedpreferential antiproliferative and proapoptotic signals withinB-lineage leukemialymphoma cells [47] The bioactive com-pounds in germinated barley and other cereals may reducethe risk of diabetic agents and colon cancer [48] Protocat-echualdehyde present in barley suppressed cell growth andinduced apoptosis which may be a result of deacetylase2-mediated cyclin D1 suppression [49] Lunasin present inbarley has been observed to prevent skin cancer which couldplay an important role in the prevention of cancer in humans[50] Remarkably high reduction of tumorigenesis and induc-tion of apoptosis in the liver section were achieved in themouse models with barley-Shochu distillation remnants [51]Germinated barley foodstuff significantly increased the pro-duction of a tumor suppressor gene which showed promisingantineoplastic effects [52]

33 Association of Buckwheat with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is not only the center of origins and evolution forbuckwheat [13 14] but also the largest Chinese producer ofTartary buckwheat which accounts for 601 in China Rutin(22155mg100 g at 7 days) and quercitrin (23010mg100 gat 8 days) contents after sowing of buckwheat sprouts wereapproximately 35 and 65 times higher than those of buck-wheat seeds [53] Yunnan golden buckwheat has uniqueanticancer effects and its product ldquoWeimainingrdquo capsulesis the national second-class anticancer drug [54] TBWSP31from Tartary buckwheat water-soluble extracts is a novelantitumor protein and apoptosis inducer [55] and alsoquercetin from its seeds and bran exhibited the strongestcytotoxic effects against the human hepatoma cell line [56]Tatariside G may be an effective candidate for chemotherapyagainst cervical cancer [57]

34 Association of Tea with Anticancer Activities After watertea is the most widely consumed beverage [58] tea is

cultivated in Asia which is producing more than 91 of theworld Green tea and quercetin enhanced the therapeuticeffect of docetaxel in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells[59] Green tea polyphenols have strong antioxidants and theinhibition of 16 cancers [13] such as (minus)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells[60]The articles on the association of teawith cancer are 3214according to PubMed literature database Yunnan provincein China is center of origin for Camellia sinensis which has35 species and 3 varieties accounting for 766 of Camelliasinensis in the world [13 14 61] There are more than 500compounds identified Tea in Yunnan has 15 accessions for350ndash468 polyphenols and 14 accessions for 5 caffeine[61] Epigallocatechin-gallate in green tea has been shownto have antiproliferative activity in colon cancer cells [62]Catechins of green tea are flavanols which have many healthrelated characteristics they especially lower the cytotoxicityand cost of anticancer treatment inhibit proliferation ofbreast cancer cells and block carcinogenesis [1 63] Humanswould be able to achieve consistent cancer prevention effectsprovided there is timely intervention of green tea catechinsat appropriate high-dose levels [58] Green tea and coffeeconsumption has protective effects on esophageal cancer[64] Therefore green tea is the most economic and effectivemethod for anticancer treatment

35 Association ofWalnut with Anticancer Activities Yunnanis not only the center of origins and evolution for fruits whichhas 66 families 134 genus and 499 species [65] but alsothe Chinese largest producer of walnut (2679000 ha) whichaccounts for 502 of China in 2013 Walnuts are rich in120596-3 fatty acids tocopherols 120573-sitosterol and pedunculaginwhich slow down the growth of prostate colon breast andrenal cancers [66] The tumor size in mice having walnutin their diet was one-fourth than that of the control diet[67] The 120572-linolenic acid and 120573-sitosterol from walnutoil decreased proliferation of MCF-7 cells [68] Changesin the miRNA expression profiles likely affect target genetranscripts involved in pathways of anti-inflammation anti-vascularization antiproliferation and apoptosis [69] Wal-nuts decrease the risk of these chronic diseases (cancertype 2 diabetes cardiovascular disease and visceral obesityvia inflammation) [70] Dietary walnut can reduce cancergrowth and development by its anticancer mechanism ofsuppressing the activation of NF120581B [71] The dihydroxy-341015840-dimethoxyflavone and regiolone from walnut leaves caninduce apoptosis in human breast adenocarcinoma cells [72]The bioactive compounds in walnut green husks are capableof killing prostate carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis [11]

36 Association of Mushrooms with Anticancer ActivitiesYunnan is richest in having species of wild mushrooms inChina which accounts for 902 in China and 441 inthe world It has 670 species of edible mushrooms whichaccounts for 724 in China including boletes (224 species)and edible boletes (144 species) accounting for 574 and724 in China respectively [73] The export of boletesand Tricholoma matsutake having anticancer activities from

Yunnan province is up to 91780000 and 57380000 USDin 2011 [13] Medicinal mushrooms have been used to treatcancer fungal infections hypertension diabetes inflam-mation and renal disorders [74] The most potent extractidentified from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited the growthof a gastric cancer cell line by interfering with cellularautophagy and cell cycle [75] Intake of mushrooms seems tobe inversely associatedwith the epithelial ovarian cancer [76]Polysaccharides from mushrooms have been widely usedin far Asia as antitumor immunostimulating antimicrobialhypocholesterolemic hypoglycemic and health-promotingagents [5] The water extract of Umbilicaria esculenta has agreat potential to be developed into an anticancer agent thattargets telomerase [77]

37 Association of Panax notoginseng with Anticancer Activi-ties Yunnan is the Chinese largest producer of Panax noto-ginseng which accounts for 97 of the production of Chinaand more than 400 products were made from it by 1302companies in China P notoginseng is a promising candidatein preventing and treating inflammation-associated coloncarcinogenesis [78] Macroporous resin from the leaves ofP notoginseng is enriched with low polarity PPD groupsaponins of 85 ethanol fraction which is a new alternativesource of anticancer saponins [79] A new protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside 6-O-120573-d-glucopyranosyl-20-O-120573-d-gluco-pyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol-3-one (1) was isolatedfrom the roots of P notoginseng which exhibited cytotoxicactivity against five human cancer cell lines [80] Anarabinogalactan RN1 from flowers of Panax notoginseng hadan antiangiogenic effect via BMP2 signaling and could bea potential novel inhibitor of angiogenesis [81] The majorsaponins in P notoginseng saponin extract were ginsenosidesRg1 (311) and Rb1 (344) which may provide significantnatural defense against human colon cancer [82] In additionYunnan is the richest in species of Amorphophalms knojac(667) and its largest producer in China The konjac gluco-mannans are associated with a range of health applicationswhich include decreasing the risk of gut cancer and coloncarcinogenesis through reduced toxicity of faecal water andprecancerous risk factors of human colon cancer [83]

4 Lower Cancer Mortality Associated withAnticancerous Food in Tibet

Tibet in China spans approximately over 1200000Km2 Itborders Myanmar Bhutan and Nepal Tibetans have beenadapted to an altitude exceeding 3500m in the early UpperPaleolithic [84] Tibet is one of the regions with lowestcancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0643permil) inChina especially colon cancer lung cancer nasopharyngealcancer and leukemia [17] (see Table 1)Major anticancer foodstructures are as follows

41 Association of Naked Barley with Anticancer ActivitiesTibet and its vicinity are not only the centers of domesticationof cultivated barley [85 86] but also the worldrsquos largest pro-ducer of naked barley for major food Barley and its products

are good sources of antioxidants [87] especially anticancerThe most common anthocyanin in the purple barley iscyanidin 3-glucoside whereas delphinidin 3-glucoside is themost abundant anthocyanin in the blue and black groups[87] Himalaya 292 for barley mutant has high contents of 120573-glucan (97) and protein (164) as well as amylose starch(816) [88] The intrinsic differences of 120573-glucans in barleyand other cereals will elicit variable immune and anticancerresponses The molecular mechanisms of 120573-glucan-inducedsignaling in immune cells are essential for the design ofnew therapeutic strategies against cancer [12 89]120573-D-glucanfrom barley regulates breast cancer-relevant gene expressionand may be useful for inhibiting endocrine-resistant breastcancer cell proliferation [90] Whole hulless barley is afunctional food that can reduce the prevalence of metabolicsyndrome [91]

42 Association of Milk with Anticancer Activities Milk con-sumption is prevalent in daily diets and its lactase persistenceis likely to have an independent origin in Tibetans [92] Themilk protein 120572-casein would provide a more natural andnontoxic approach to the development of novel anticancertherapies [93]

In addition Guizhou is not only one of the regions oflower cancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0756permil) inChina but also one of the cradles of human childhood

5 The Highest Cancer Mortality Associatedwith Food in Some Province of China

Human chronic disease outbreak owes its origin to con-sumption of brown rice and barley which were the staplediet of the ancient people whereas white rice and wheatwhite flour are now consumed as staple foods of mod-ern people [13] Yunnan Province is the lowest mortalityof cancers (0541permil) in China [17] or all over the world[94] which associated with the largest production base forbarley and tea as well as walnut and so forth in ChinaEast China includes Shanghai Jiangsu Zhejiang ShandongAnhui Fujian and Jiangxi 7 provincescity and it is thehighest mortality of cancers (16688permil) and the most cancervillages (76) in China which mainly covers some lowerreaches of rivers including the Yellow River Huaihe Riverand Yangtze River and also appears near the Dongting Lakeand Poyang Lake the number of cancer villages in Chinais in turn East China (76) gt Central China (28) gt NorthChina (24) = South China (24) gt Southwest China (12)gt Northwest China (3) = Northeast China (3) [95] Thehighest cancer mortality associated with barley dropped insome provinces of China especially Shanghai Jiangsu andZhejiang Nanjing (1073mgkg) and Shanghai (9559mgkg)as well as Hanzhou (757mgkg) cities are the highest soilPb2+ concentrations in 35 cities for China [96] The lipid-transfer protein from barley grain has an affinity to bind Co2+and Pb2+ but has no affinity towards Cd2+ Cu2+ Zn2+ andCr3+ [97] Barley 120573-glucan is a radioprotective agent andit can enhance radioprotection in the human hepatoma cellline HepG2 [98] Barley with polyphenols possesses many

other anticarcinogenic activities and high epicatechin maybe related to a reduced risk of breast cancer [99] and coloncancer Consumption of lunasin from barley could play animportant role in cancer prevention [100] but the barleycultivated areas in China in 1935 (6380000 ha) were 51times than that in 2012 Shanghai city in 1986 was 60 timesbarley cultivated more than in 2012 Jiangsu province in 1957(1401400 ha) was 75 times than in 2012 however Zhejiangprovince in 1935 (283800 ha) was 95 times cultivated than in2012

Shanghai city has not only the highest cancer mortality(2171permil) in China especially colon cancer lung cancerand female breast cancer [17] (see Table 1) but also has thelowest diversity of cultivated crops and its elevation is 40mColorectal cancer increases by 42 annually in Shanghaiwhich is faster than the average increasing rate of the world[101] Lunasin from soybean cotyledon and barley a peptidewith 43 amino acid residues demonstrated chemopreventiveand anticancer properties against colon and breast cancers[100 102] The consumption of barley rice has certain pre-vention and adjunctive dietary therapy functions for diabetesmellitus cardiovascular disease and cancers [103] Breastcancer is the most common cancer among women in urbanChina such as Shanghai and so forth however soy foodconsumption is significantly associated with decreased riskof breast cancer and lung cancer [104] but cultivated area ofsoybean in Shanghai is the lowest in China Fruit intake isinversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer [105]but cultivated area of fruits in Shanghai is the lowest in ChinaThe high intake of fruits vegetables milk and eggs mayreduce the risk of breast cancer whereas high animal foodintake may increase the risk [106] Age seems to contributeto increased morbidity andmortality of colorectal carcinomain Yangpu district of Shanghai but the mortality of colorectalcarcinoma appeared higher than the incidence [107]

Jiangsu province has not only the highest cancermortality(1936permil) in China especially gastric cancer and liver cancer[17] (see Table 1) but also a province of lowest altitude(lt50m) in China The elevation of Nanjing in Jiangsuprovince is 156m The barley with anticancer cultivatedareas of Jiangsu province in China in 1957 (1401400 ha)was 75 times than in 2012 Cancer outbreak owes its originto consumption of barley of the ancient people which isreplaced by wheat white flour of modern people Cancervillages of main production regions of Chinese wheat are inturn Anhui (26) gt Shangdong (16) gt Henan (15) gt Jiangsu(14) gtHebei (12) [95] There are significant correlationsbetween topsoil Pb concentration and gastric cancer as wellas grain Hg concentration with liver cancer in humans [108]Natural lycopene shows a potential anticancer activity andreduces gastric cancer incidence [109]The tricin from younggreen barley leaves on melanin production in B16 melanomacells inhibits melanin biosynthesis with higher efficacy thanarbutin and it could be used as a whitening agent [110]The annual average crude incidence and age-standardizedincidence by world population were 252permil and 179permilrespectively but Jiangsu being an area with relatively low riskof female breast cancer presented cancer registry areas from2006 to 2010 as 0703permil and 0481permil respectively [111]

Zhejiang province has very high cancer mortality(1727permil) in China especially for liver cancer [17] (seeTable 1)The crude incidence of cancer registered in Zhejiangprovince in 2009 was 3202permil however age-standardizedincidence by Chinese and world standard population wasseparately 16199permil and 20792permil meanwhile the crudemortality rate was 17697permil and the age-standardizedmortality by Chinese and world standard population were07917permil and 10702permil respectively [112] The highest soilconcentrations in Zhejiang province were 7036mgkg forPb 4749mgkg for Cr 1351mgkg for As 073mgkg forCd and 067mgkg for Hg while Cd caused the greatestcancer risk [113] The bioaccumulation of heavy metals infood tubers carries a considerable risk for human cancers[114] The inhibition of cancer cell viability and apoptosisby protocatechualdehyde in barley leaves may be result ofactivating transcription factor 3 expression through ERK12and p38-mediated transcriptional activation [115]

6 Conclusion and Future Prospects

Chronic disease prevention of early human migrations wasassociated with food structures from crop origin centersespecially from Asia with four centers of crop origin whichaccount for 58 in the world population The early modernhuman of Southwest China was related to many ancestorsof Asians Southwest China richest in anticancer crop notonly is the most important evolution base of Asian andanticancer crops but also has the lowest mortality andincidence of cancers in China Yunnan richest in anticancercrops is the cradle of human childhood and the lowest cancerincidence as well as mortality of cancers (0541permil) in Chinaespecially esophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancerleukemia female breast cancer and cervical cancer and alsothe largest center of origin and diversity of functional cropswith anticancer activities (brown rice barley buckwheattea walnut mushrooms Panax notoginseng Knojac etc)Tibet is not only one of the regions of lowest incidence andmortality of cancers (0643permil) in China especially coloncancer lung cancer nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemiabut also the largest center of origin and diversity of nakedbarley for major functional foods Shanghai and Jiangsu inChina have the highest mortality of cancers (1936sim2171permil)which are associated with barley cultivated areas droppedabout 65 times and 75 times respectively These resultsfurther support that Southwest China (especially Yunnan andTibet) is the center of lowest mortality of cancers (0643permil)in China based on coevolution between humanrsquos anticanceractivities and functional foods from crop origin center

Yunnan province is up to 91780000 and 57380000 USDin 2011 [13] Medicinal mushrooms have been used to treatcancer fungal infections hypertension diabetes inflam-mation and renal disorders [74] The most potent extractidentified from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited the growthof a gastric cancer cell line by interfering with cellularautophagy and cell cycle [75] Intake of mushrooms seems tobe inversely associatedwith the epithelial ovarian cancer [76]Polysaccharides from mushrooms have been widely usedin far Asia as antitumor immunostimulating antimicrobialhypocholesterolemic hypoglycemic and health-promotingagents [5] The water extract of Umbilicaria esculenta has agreat potential to be developed into an anticancer agent thattargets telomerase [77]

37 Association of Panax notoginseng with Anticancer Activi-ties Yunnan is the Chinese largest producer of Panax noto-ginseng which accounts for 97 of the production of Chinaand more than 400 products were made from it by 1302companies in China P notoginseng is a promising candidatein preventing and treating inflammation-associated coloncarcinogenesis [78] Macroporous resin from the leaves ofP notoginseng is enriched with low polarity PPD groupsaponins of 85 ethanol fraction which is a new alternativesource of anticancer saponins [79] A new protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside 6-O-120573-d-glucopyranosyl-20-O-120573-d-gluco-pyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol-3-one (1) was isolatedfrom the roots of P notoginseng which exhibited cytotoxicactivity against five human cancer cell lines [80] Anarabinogalactan RN1 from flowers of Panax notoginseng hadan antiangiogenic effect via BMP2 signaling and could bea potential novel inhibitor of angiogenesis [81] The majorsaponins in P notoginseng saponin extract were ginsenosidesRg1 (311) and Rb1 (344) which may provide significantnatural defense against human colon cancer [82] In additionYunnan is the richest in species of Amorphophalms knojac(667) and its largest producer in China The konjac gluco-mannans are associated with a range of health applicationswhich include decreasing the risk of gut cancer and coloncarcinogenesis through reduced toxicity of faecal water andprecancerous risk factors of human colon cancer [83]

4 Lower Cancer Mortality Associated withAnticancerous Food in Tibet

Tibet in China spans approximately over 1200000Km2 Itborders Myanmar Bhutan and Nepal Tibetans have beenadapted to an altitude exceeding 3500m in the early UpperPaleolithic [84] Tibet is one of the regions with lowestcancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0643permil) inChina especially colon cancer lung cancer nasopharyngealcancer and leukemia [17] (see Table 1)Major anticancer foodstructures are as follows

41 Association of Naked Barley with Anticancer ActivitiesTibet and its vicinity are not only the centers of domesticationof cultivated barley [85 86] but also the worldrsquos largest pro-ducer of naked barley for major food Barley and its products

are good sources of antioxidants [87] especially anticancerThe most common anthocyanin in the purple barley iscyanidin 3-glucoside whereas delphinidin 3-glucoside is themost abundant anthocyanin in the blue and black groups[87] Himalaya 292 for barley mutant has high contents of 120573-glucan (97) and protein (164) as well as amylose starch(816) [88] The intrinsic differences of 120573-glucans in barleyand other cereals will elicit variable immune and anticancerresponses The molecular mechanisms of 120573-glucan-inducedsignaling in immune cells are essential for the design ofnew therapeutic strategies against cancer [12 89]120573-D-glucanfrom barley regulates breast cancer-relevant gene expressionand may be useful for inhibiting endocrine-resistant breastcancer cell proliferation [90] Whole hulless barley is afunctional food that can reduce the prevalence of metabolicsyndrome [91]

42 Association of Milk with Anticancer Activities Milk con-sumption is prevalent in daily diets and its lactase persistenceis likely to have an independent origin in Tibetans [92] Themilk protein 120572-casein would provide a more natural andnontoxic approach to the development of novel anticancertherapies [93]

In addition Guizhou is not only one of the regions oflower cancer incidence and mortality of cancers (0756permil) inChina but also one of the cradles of human childhood

5 The Highest Cancer Mortality Associatedwith Food in Some Province of China

Human chronic disease outbreak owes its origin to con-sumption of brown rice and barley which were the staplediet of the ancient people whereas white rice and wheatwhite flour are now consumed as staple foods of mod-ern people [13] Yunnan Province is the lowest mortalityof cancers (0541permil) in China [17] or all over the world[94] which associated with the largest production base forbarley and tea as well as walnut and so forth in ChinaEast China includes Shanghai Jiangsu Zhejiang ShandongAnhui Fujian and Jiangxi 7 provincescity and it is thehighest mortality of cancers (16688permil) and the most cancervillages (76) in China which mainly covers some lowerreaches of rivers including the Yellow River Huaihe Riverand Yangtze River and also appears near the Dongting Lakeand Poyang Lake the number of cancer villages in Chinais in turn East China (76) gt Central China (28) gt NorthChina (24) = South China (24) gt Southwest China (12)gt Northwest China (3) = Northeast China (3) [95] Thehighest cancer mortality associated with barley dropped insome provinces of China especially Shanghai Jiangsu andZhejiang Nanjing (1073mgkg) and Shanghai (9559mgkg)as well as Hanzhou (757mgkg) cities are the highest soilPb2+ concentrations in 35 cities for China [96] The lipid-transfer protein from barley grain has an affinity to bind Co2+and Pb2+ but has no affinity towards Cd2+ Cu2+ Zn2+ andCr3+ [97] Barley 120573-glucan is a radioprotective agent andit can enhance radioprotection in the human hepatoma cellline HepG2 [98] Barley with polyphenols possesses many

other anticarcinogenic activities and high epicatechin maybe related to a reduced risk of breast cancer [99] and coloncancer Consumption of lunasin from barley could play animportant role in cancer prevention [100] but the barleycultivated areas in China in 1935 (6380000 ha) were 51times than that in 2012 Shanghai city in 1986 was 60 timesbarley cultivated more than in 2012 Jiangsu province in 1957(1401400 ha) was 75 times than in 2012 however Zhejiangprovince in 1935 (283800 ha) was 95 times cultivated than in2012

Shanghai city has not only the highest cancer mortality(2171permil) in China especially colon cancer lung cancerand female breast cancer [17] (see Table 1) but also has thelowest diversity of cultivated crops and its elevation is 40mColorectal cancer increases by 42 annually in Shanghaiwhich is faster than the average increasing rate of the world[101] Lunasin from soybean cotyledon and barley a peptidewith 43 amino acid residues demonstrated chemopreventiveand anticancer properties against colon and breast cancers[100 102] The consumption of barley rice has certain pre-vention and adjunctive dietary therapy functions for diabetesmellitus cardiovascular disease and cancers [103] Breastcancer is the most common cancer among women in urbanChina such as Shanghai and so forth however soy foodconsumption is significantly associated with decreased riskof breast cancer and lung cancer [104] but cultivated area ofsoybean in Shanghai is the lowest in China Fruit intake isinversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer [105]but cultivated area of fruits in Shanghai is the lowest in ChinaThe high intake of fruits vegetables milk and eggs mayreduce the risk of breast cancer whereas high animal foodintake may increase the risk [106] Age seems to contributeto increased morbidity andmortality of colorectal carcinomain Yangpu district of Shanghai but the mortality of colorectalcarcinoma appeared higher than the incidence [107]

Jiangsu province has not only the highest cancermortality(1936permil) in China especially gastric cancer and liver cancer[17] (see Table 1) but also a province of lowest altitude(lt50m) in China The elevation of Nanjing in Jiangsuprovince is 156m The barley with anticancer cultivatedareas of Jiangsu province in China in 1957 (1401400 ha)was 75 times than in 2012 Cancer outbreak owes its originto consumption of barley of the ancient people which isreplaced by wheat white flour of modern people Cancervillages of main production regions of Chinese wheat are inturn Anhui (26) gt Shangdong (16) gt Henan (15) gt Jiangsu(14) gtHebei (12) [95] There are significant correlationsbetween topsoil Pb concentration and gastric cancer as wellas grain Hg concentration with liver cancer in humans [108]Natural lycopene shows a potential anticancer activity andreduces gastric cancer incidence [109]The tricin from younggreen barley leaves on melanin production in B16 melanomacells inhibits melanin biosynthesis with higher efficacy thanarbutin and it could be used as a whitening agent [110]The annual average crude incidence and age-standardizedincidence by world population were 252permil and 179permilrespectively but Jiangsu being an area with relatively low riskof female breast cancer presented cancer registry areas from2006 to 2010 as 0703permil and 0481permil respectively [111]

Zhejiang province has very high cancer mortality(1727permil) in China especially for liver cancer [17] (seeTable 1)The crude incidence of cancer registered in Zhejiangprovince in 2009 was 3202permil however age-standardizedincidence by Chinese and world standard population wasseparately 16199permil and 20792permil meanwhile the crudemortality rate was 17697permil and the age-standardizedmortality by Chinese and world standard population were07917permil and 10702permil respectively [112] The highest soilconcentrations in Zhejiang province were 7036mgkg forPb 4749mgkg for Cr 1351mgkg for As 073mgkg forCd and 067mgkg for Hg while Cd caused the greatestcancer risk [113] The bioaccumulation of heavy metals infood tubers carries a considerable risk for human cancers[114] The inhibition of cancer cell viability and apoptosisby protocatechualdehyde in barley leaves may be result ofactivating transcription factor 3 expression through ERK12and p38-mediated transcriptional activation [115]

6 Conclusion and Future Prospects

Chronic disease prevention of early human migrations wasassociated with food structures from crop origin centersespecially from Asia with four centers of crop origin whichaccount for 58 in the world population The early modernhuman of Southwest China was related to many ancestorsof Asians Southwest China richest in anticancer crop notonly is the most important evolution base of Asian andanticancer crops but also has the lowest mortality andincidence of cancers in China Yunnan richest in anticancercrops is the cradle of human childhood and the lowest cancerincidence as well as mortality of cancers (0541permil) in Chinaespecially esophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancerleukemia female breast cancer and cervical cancer and alsothe largest center of origin and diversity of functional cropswith anticancer activities (brown rice barley buckwheattea walnut mushrooms Panax notoginseng Knojac etc)Tibet is not only one of the regions of lowest incidence andmortality of cancers (0643permil) in China especially coloncancer lung cancer nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemiabut also the largest center of origin and diversity of nakedbarley for major functional foods Shanghai and Jiangsu inChina have the highest mortality of cancers (1936sim2171permil)which are associated with barley cultivated areas droppedabout 65 times and 75 times respectively These resultsfurther support that Southwest China (especially Yunnan andTibet) is the center of lowest mortality of cancers (0643permil)in China based on coevolution between humanrsquos anticanceractivities and functional foods from crop origin center

other anticarcinogenic activities and high epicatechin maybe related to a reduced risk of breast cancer [99] and coloncancer Consumption of lunasin from barley could play animportant role in cancer prevention [100] but the barleycultivated areas in China in 1935 (6380000 ha) were 51times than that in 2012 Shanghai city in 1986 was 60 timesbarley cultivated more than in 2012 Jiangsu province in 1957(1401400 ha) was 75 times than in 2012 however Zhejiangprovince in 1935 (283800 ha) was 95 times cultivated than in2012

Shanghai city has not only the highest cancer mortality(2171permil) in China especially colon cancer lung cancerand female breast cancer [17] (see Table 1) but also has thelowest diversity of cultivated crops and its elevation is 40mColorectal cancer increases by 42 annually in Shanghaiwhich is faster than the average increasing rate of the world[101] Lunasin from soybean cotyledon and barley a peptidewith 43 amino acid residues demonstrated chemopreventiveand anticancer properties against colon and breast cancers[100 102] The consumption of barley rice has certain pre-vention and adjunctive dietary therapy functions for diabetesmellitus cardiovascular disease and cancers [103] Breastcancer is the most common cancer among women in urbanChina such as Shanghai and so forth however soy foodconsumption is significantly associated with decreased riskof breast cancer and lung cancer [104] but cultivated area ofsoybean in Shanghai is the lowest in China Fruit intake isinversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer [105]but cultivated area of fruits in Shanghai is the lowest in ChinaThe high intake of fruits vegetables milk and eggs mayreduce the risk of breast cancer whereas high animal foodintake may increase the risk [106] Age seems to contributeto increased morbidity andmortality of colorectal carcinomain Yangpu district of Shanghai but the mortality of colorectalcarcinoma appeared higher than the incidence [107]

Jiangsu province has not only the highest cancermortality(1936permil) in China especially gastric cancer and liver cancer[17] (see Table 1) but also a province of lowest altitude(lt50m) in China The elevation of Nanjing in Jiangsuprovince is 156m The barley with anticancer cultivatedareas of Jiangsu province in China in 1957 (1401400 ha)was 75 times than in 2012 Cancer outbreak owes its originto consumption of barley of the ancient people which isreplaced by wheat white flour of modern people Cancervillages of main production regions of Chinese wheat are inturn Anhui (26) gt Shangdong (16) gt Henan (15) gt Jiangsu(14) gtHebei (12) [95] There are significant correlationsbetween topsoil Pb concentration and gastric cancer as wellas grain Hg concentration with liver cancer in humans [108]Natural lycopene shows a potential anticancer activity andreduces gastric cancer incidence [109]The tricin from younggreen barley leaves on melanin production in B16 melanomacells inhibits melanin biosynthesis with higher efficacy thanarbutin and it could be used as a whitening agent [110]The annual average crude incidence and age-standardizedincidence by world population were 252permil and 179permilrespectively but Jiangsu being an area with relatively low riskof female breast cancer presented cancer registry areas from2006 to 2010 as 0703permil and 0481permil respectively [111]

Zhejiang province has very high cancer mortality(1727permil) in China especially for liver cancer [17] (seeTable 1)The crude incidence of cancer registered in Zhejiangprovince in 2009 was 3202permil however age-standardizedincidence by Chinese and world standard population wasseparately 16199permil and 20792permil meanwhile the crudemortality rate was 17697permil and the age-standardizedmortality by Chinese and world standard population were07917permil and 10702permil respectively [112] The highest soilconcentrations in Zhejiang province were 7036mgkg forPb 4749mgkg for Cr 1351mgkg for As 073mgkg forCd and 067mgkg for Hg while Cd caused the greatestcancer risk [113] The bioaccumulation of heavy metals infood tubers carries a considerable risk for human cancers[114] The inhibition of cancer cell viability and apoptosisby protocatechualdehyde in barley leaves may be result ofactivating transcription factor 3 expression through ERK12and p38-mediated transcriptional activation [115]

Chronic disease prevention of early human migrations wasassociated with food structures from crop origin centersespecially from Asia with four centers of crop origin whichaccount for 58 in the world population The early modernhuman of Southwest China was related to many ancestorsof Asians Southwest China richest in anticancer crop notonly is the most important evolution base of Asian andanticancer crops but also has the lowest mortality andincidence of cancers in China Yunnan richest in anticancercrops is the cradle of human childhood and the lowest cancerincidence as well as mortality of cancers (0541permil) in Chinaespecially esophageal cancer gastric cancer liver cancerleukemia female breast cancer and cervical cancer and alsothe largest center of origin and diversity of functional cropswith anticancer activities (brown rice barley buckwheattea walnut mushrooms Panax notoginseng Knojac etc)Tibet is not only one of the regions of lowest incidence andmortality of cancers (0643permil) in China especially coloncancer lung cancer nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemiabut also the largest center of origin and diversity of nakedbarley for major functional foods Shanghai and Jiangsu inChina have the highest mortality of cancers (1936sim2171permil)which are associated with barley cultivated areas droppedabout 65 times and 75 times respectively These resultsfurther support that Southwest China (especially Yunnan andTibet) is the center of lowest mortality of cancers (0643permil)in China based on coevolution between humanrsquos anticanceractivities and functional foods from crop origin center
