Can broccoli sprouts, cabbage,ginko biloba and garlic prevent cancer? Apparently, yes

[Ally]

In the high-tech 21st century, the most rudimentary natural products
continue to reveal exciting ant-cancer properties to scientists,
offering people relatively simple ways to help protect themselves from
the disease.

Five studies presented today during the American Association for Cancer
Research's 4th annual Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research meeting
in Baltimore, Md., add to the arsenal of research that shows adding
certain vegetables and herbs to the diet can prevent or, in some cases,
halt the growth of cancer. v Moreover, it is not just a matter of
mechanical prevention, such as adding fiber to the diet to maintain
digestive health. This research deals with the chemical interactions
between compounds found in foods and the body's cells and DNA, and it
shows that the addition of these foods to the diet can reap benefits at
any stage of life.

Imagine that. Eating real food that contains real nutrition leads to
real excellent health. What a concept.

If you look at the WHO statistics, it is obvious that those who eat
foods that contain lots of these toxins have higher rates of liver
cancer, for example. Solanine in potatoes is something that should be
avoided too. If you get to the "insides" of the food, it is generally
safer. The plant "skins" will usually concentrate such toxins, though
my advice is to avoid nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains entirely. I
used to eat a lot of these foods, and I almost died. Now I eat a lot
of whole milk dairy, eggs, some fruit, bread I bake with unbleached,
organic white flour, potatoes, dark chocolate, and coconut products.
These foods are generally much safer in this context, and I no longer
have any digestive problems (I do take stomach acid and pepsin
supplements, but not everyone needs to).

Apparently the scientists are still too dense to have a clue as to what
they are talking about.

Eating a healthy diet is what prevents cancer.

First of all, and garlic is a herb/spice rather than a food. Ginko
biloba, of course, is a nutritional supplement made from an oriental
herb that is generally not used for cooking at all. Garlic can also be
taken as a supplement. These facts make a big difference.

Next the broccoli/cabbage family of vegetables when eating in large
quantities, which irresponsible news stories of this time type are
quite likely to cause a few fools to do so, can be quite toxic to your
health and especially to your thyroid.

Just thought that the thinking public might want to know.
