phytonutrients, organic substances from plants

I read about phytonutirents and found that they were interesting for health. There were many substances in plants which maintained our normal metabolism and prevented some diseases such as cancer, heart attack etc.
Saying that we ate various kind of vegetable and fruit in colours of green, orange, or red, we got many substances including vitamins and some elements. Besides, yoghurt acted like an probiotics containing advantage microorganism. Soybean, onion, brussica [cabbage, cauliflower, chinese kale etc] and other vegetable helped to prevent cancer too. This article encouraged us to eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetable. [But,to make them clean from pesticides, wash them with running water about 2-3 minutes before eating.]
Substances and elements were as following:- vitamin C, vitamin E, betacarotene, polyphenols, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, lycophene, anthocyanin, zinc and serenium etc.
Genestein from soybean, stop feeding cancer cells by not building small blood veins to the cells, Indoles from brussica, Saponins from legumes, Lycophene from tomatoes, egg plant, Quercetin from onion, these substances were to prevent cancer and other diseases.
Other preserved food acted like the prebiotic [food that could not be digested in the large intestine for the probiotic bacteria to digest.] These could be the fermented food.
This statement is interpreted from a Thai article named Food Industry Thailand Sep-Oct 2007 by my ambitious effort. You have to forgive me if finding any mistake or wrong interpretation. I am not the nutritionist or chemist, just a man who is interesting. Please correct my mistakes in this statement if you know,for others to read. with my thanks. Chavalvut. [ my field was agriculture.]
