BTW Robert, I heeded your request when we last talked. I went to my physician and am having a colonoscopy getting scheduled. They were laughing when I made my appointment that I actually wanted to get one. Thanks for making me get one. Glad to hear you're feeling better.
"One of the American Cancer Society's key dietart recommendations to reduce the risk of cancer is to include cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts and caulifloer, in the diet on a regular basis. The cabbage family of vegetables contains more phytochemicals with demonstrable anticancer properties than any other vegetable family. Most of these compounds are glucosinolates. The anticancer effects of cabbage-family vegetables have been noted in population studies: consistently, the higher the intake of these vegetables, the lower the rates of cancer, particularly colon, prostate, lung and breast cancer." "Beets have also gained recognition for their reported anti-cancer properties. The pigment that gives beets their colour, betacyanin, is a powerful cancer-fighting agent. The combination of their betacyanin and fiber content is probably responsible for the protective role of beets against colon cancer. In animal studies, beet fiber has been shown to increase the level of antioxidant enzymes, specifically glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase as well as increase the number of white blood cells responsible for detecting and eliminating abnormal cells." ...from: The Encyclopaedia of Healing Foods, ISBN:0-316-73190-0 thought it might be useful to know...
