CRUCIFEROUS IMMUNE BOOSTING!
Cruciferous vegetables fight cancer!
“Green vegetables like - kale, collards, cabbage and broccoli, plus some nongreen vegetables such as cauliflower and turnips, are called “cruciferous vegetables.”
They are named for their flowers, which have four equally spaced petals in the shape of a cross—hence the Latin word crucifer, meaning “cross-bearer.”Vegetables contain protective micro-nutrients and phytochemicals, but cruciferous vegetables have a unique chemical composition: they contain sulfur compounds that are to blame for the bitter flavors. When the cell walls are broken by blending / chopping, a chemical reaction occurs that converts their sulfur compounds into isothiocyanates (ITCs) an array of compounds that have been proven to have powerful immune-boosting effects and anticancer activity.”
"Cruciferous vegetables have double the potency as other plant foods! In recent studies, a 20 percent increase in organic food intake generally corresponds to a 20 percent decrease in cancer rates, but a 20 percent increase in cruciferous vegetable intake corresponds to a 40 percent decrease in cancer rates. 28 servings of vegetables per week decreases prostate cancer risk by 33 percent VS. just three servings of cruciferous vegetables per week decreases prostate cancer risk by 41 percent.” - Joel Fuhrman M.D,
