Friends and Fellow Survivors,

 

Happy week-end to all.

I just read that apples help ward off 7 or 8 types of cancer.

 

Love and Healing to all!

    Apples are great, especially green ones in juice. However, I also have read an agree with Jan: apples MUST be organic.

    Green organic is way to go!

     

    Yes, recent research shows that the substance in apples that makes them a potent anti-cancer food is quercetin--also found in onions, by the way.

     

    However, realize that apples are also a source of sugar, albeit natural fructose--so don't overdo it; I wouldn't have more than one half an apple a day.  Great with almond butter to slow down the sugar absorption; also good in smoothies with kale, by the way.  

     

    Research this week also shows that blueberries and grapes together create a potent anti-cancer compound.  But once again, make sure they are organic; grapes are highly polluted otehrwise.  And small quanities--a qusrter cup at a time, no more, in oatmeal or in a salad, perhaps.

     

    Best,

    Rosey
