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!

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
