Beets and glutathione

[Guest guest]

Hello, all.

Just a note to share some information. Beets are one of the best ways to

naturally generate glutathione production. We have been eating fairly

substantial amounts of organic beets during the last year, and our son's

glutathione levels are now within normal ranges without any glutathione

supplementation. They are also high in folate and potassium, and increase

CD8 cells (responsible for eliminating abnormal/precancerous cells--which is

why we started eating them by the bushel!)

Beet chips are a great way to start for those who aren't crazy about the

taste or color (make like carrot or zuchini chips). Also--urine and stools

will be RED when you eat beets.

I can't get my kids to eat beets as is. So I make beet/raspberry jam and

bett /strawberry jello.

Jam: I mix up equal amounts of cooked beets chopped fine with cooked

raspberries and add a little honey.

Jello: I use the water from cooking beets. I use 3 pkgs Knox powder, 3

cups beet water and 1 cup strawberry juice(from cooked frozen berries)

with a little honey and added the cooked strawberries. It tasted pretty

good and my kids didn't bat an eye.
