Foods</A>

Here is a few excerpts...

Avocado. Benefits circulation, lowers cholesterol, dilates blood vessels.

It's main fat, monounsaturated oleic acid (also concentrated in olive oil),

acts as an antioxidant to block artery-destroying toxicity of bad-type-LDL

cholesterol. One of the richest sources of glutathione, a powerful

antioxidant shown to block thirty different carcinogens and to block

proliferation of the AIDS virus in test tube experiments.

Broccoli. A unique package of versatile disease-fighters. Abundant in

antioxidants, including quercetin, glutathione, beta carotene, indoles,

vitamin C, lutein, glucarate, sulforaphane. Extremely high in cancer fighting

activity, particularly against lung, colon and breast cancers. Like other

cruciferous vegetables, it speeds up removal of estrogen from the body,

helping suppress breast cancer. Rich in cholesterol-reducing.fiber. Has

anti-viral, anti-ulcer activity. A super source of chromium that helps

regulate insulin and blood sugar. Note: cooking and processing destroys some

of the antioxidants and anti-estrogenic agents, such as indoles and

glutathione. Most protective when eaten raw or lightly cooked.
