Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cancer are significant contributors to morbidity mortality worldwide. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted the potential of phytochemicals found in plants plant-based foods for preventing treating these chronic diseases. Mexico’s agrobiodiversity provides a valuable resource phytochemistry. This review presents an examination essential within Mexican that shown promising anti-cancer anti-diabetic properties, including their roles as antioxidants, insulin sensitizers, enzyme inhibitors. Notable compounds identified include flavonoids (such quercetin catechins), phenolic acids (chlorogenic, gallic, caffeic acids), methylxanthines (like theobromine), xanthones mangiferin), capsaicinoids (capsaicin), organosulfur alliin), various lipids (avocatins). Although promise laboratory animal studies, there is scarcity clinical trial data involving humans, underscoring important area future research.
