| Phenolic acids include, among others, ellagic acid, found in raspberries and strawberries (and other fruits); p-Coumaric acid, in citrus fruits; and resver-atrol, in red grape skins, wine, and nuts. Ellagic acid is believed to reduce damage caused by carcinogens in tobacco smoke and air pollutants, while resveratrol has shown powerful antioxidant action, potentially offering protection from heart disease. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The natural sources of vitamin C are oranges, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, kiwi, rose hips, and strawberries. Basically, most fruits and vegetables supply vitamin C.
Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) Vitamin D is fat-soluble vitamin. Sun exposure also provides vitamin D. This vitamin works with calcium and phosphorus to promote bone and tooth formation. Vitamin D deficiencies may result in malformation of bones and joints, and brittle bones. Vitamin D is in salmon, sardines, cod-liver oil, herring, and mackerel. |

A popular movement erupted in Europe against the introduction of genetic engineering into food.
The battle over Europe's GMO policy was really the first great transatlantic environmental fight. |

SYNERGY IN ACTION:
APPLES
What fruit can you count on to be fresh and crisp and wonderful through the dead of winter? Apples! While other fruit bins can look sad and dreary that time of year, the apple section comes alive with color and is filled to the brim. |
Pam Montgomery
See book keywords and concepts |  This clearing was filled with many sweet plants; field mints, wild strawberries, and honeysuckle grew along the stone wall I crossed as I entered. Lush grasses and small berry bushes dotted the clearing. It was a clear message—I was immersed in the sweetness of life. I sighed contentedly. The buzzing bees and flitting butterflies and moths darted all about me. Another old friend, Dragonfly, stopped by for a while and rested with me upon my blanket. We shared a quiet gazing at each other for a time that seemed like days. |

Human genes were inserted into corn to produce spermicide. Pharmaceutical companies inserted genes into bacteria, turning them into living factories to produce drugs. And seed companies gave new traits to crops.
GM crops: Two traits in four crops by five companies in six countries
Five companies comprise the GM seed industry, known as Ag biotech. Monsanto is the largest, with their GM seed technology and traits accounting for 88% of the GM acreage planted in 2005. |
Bottom Line Health

FAT: IT MUST BE THE RIGHT KIND
The average American diet includes 33% fat. Excessive fat—especially the saturated fat found in lunch meats, prime rib and other red meats and full-fat dairy products, such as butter, milk, cheese and sour cream—produces carcinogens that increase cancer risk. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For example, tyra-mine - found in strawberries, cured meats and cheese - can trigger migraines in some people, and this is a brain reaction, not an immune-based one.
Reactions mediated by IgE are referred to as 'true food allergies' - somewhat of a misnomer since it implies that any other type, such as a food intolerance, is 'untrue'. Having said this, these true food allergy reactions are almost always immediate in their manifestation and therefore most often can be traced back to a particular cause. | | Other foods contain amines (protein groups) such as tyramine, which have a vasoactive effect - meaning they affect the constriction of blood vessels: cabbage, cheese, citrus fruit, seafood, strawberries, salami and other cured meats, and potatoes.
Summary
You now know that there are many different symptoms that can indicate the presence of a food intolerance. You will also have gone a long way toward figuring out whether you have food intolerances by completing the questionnaire and checking to see if you eat a lot of the 'Usual Suspects' - and in particular the top-five culprit foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Other fruits packed with potassium include apricots, blackberries, cantaloupe and other melons, nectarines, oranges, peaches, plums, pomegranates, raspberries, and strawberries. Fish is generally rich in potassium, and many flavorings, such as ginger, onions, paprika, parsley, and red pepper, also contribute potassium to the diet. So do chicken and pork. Don't forget molasses, especially blackstrap molasses, which has about 500 milligrams in a tablespoon. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has determined that for adults, 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day is adequate. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The Ojibway of eastern Ontario prepared infusions of strawberry plant leaves as treatment for stomach troubles and gastrointestinal ailments such as diarrhea. strawberries were exalted for more than their purgative properties: the famed Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus was convinced that an intensive strawberry cure had miraculously healed his severe attack of gout. The French philosopher Bernard de Fontenelle, dead at age one hundred (1657-1757), attributed the secret of his longevity to annual strawberry cures. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These foods include strawberries and citrus fruits, which can affect an autistic individual's sensitive imune system. Doctors have noted that a variety of problems—including headaches, nausea, bed-wetting, appearing "spaced out," stuttering, excessive whining and crying, aggression, and depression—can be magnified by these food products. Such a reaction can be almost immediate or appear up to thirty-six hours after the suspect food is eaten. Besides eliminating problem foods, increasing the amount of vitamins such as vitamin C may reduce allergy and sensitivity symptoms. |

See book keywords and concepts | | When King Louis XIII travelled to Aquitaine in 1622 to put down the region's Protestant rebellion, his daily meal consisted of strawberries in sweetened wine and a strawberry cream tart.
The strawberry we know today is very different from the one eaten in the time of French kings; it comes from selections that were made from two varieties of strawberry bushes foreign to Europe. | | If these anecdotes make us smile today, they do not contradict recent scientific results suggesting that strawberries may indeed be a food possessed of genuine therapeutic virtues, especially in regard to cancer prevention.
THE BLUEBERRY
A close relative of the European bilberry or whortleberry {Vaccinium myrtillus), the blueberry {Vaccinium angustifolium) is a species indigenous to northeastern North America; it did not find a place in Western diet until the discovery of the New World by Europeans. The use of blueberries as food goes back to more ancient times. | | Amedee-Francois Frezier, whose name may have predisposed him to play an important role in the history of the strawberry (the French word for strawberry is fraise), is the person most responsible for the existence of the strawberries eaten today around the world. An officer and cartographer in the Engineer Corps of the French Navy, Frezier was
THE STRAWBERRY: MYTHS AND SYMBOLS
Although its origins in legend seem less poetic than those of the raspberry, there are many symbols, myths, and legends associated with the strawberry. | | Given the importance of angiogenesis in the development and progression of tumours, the antiangiogenic activity of ellagic acid can only contribute to its anti-cancer potential; because of this, strawberries and raspberries are both worthy of special consideration in any strategy of cancer prevention through diet.
Anthocyanidins
Anthocyanidins are a class of polyphenols responsible for almost all of the vivid colours - red, pink, mauve, orange, and blue - found in many fruits and vegetables. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Apples, berries (including blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries), Brazil nuts, cantaloupes, cherries, grapes, legumes (including chickpeas, lentils, and red beans), oranges, and plums all help to fight cancer. Most berries protect DNA from damage. Many of the plant pigments in red, yellow, orange, and blue fruits and vegetables are good sources of antioxidants. Green plants contain chlorophyll, which has been studied as a cancer fighter. Broccoli contains indole-3-carbinol, (I-3-C), a compound known to eradicate many types of cancer cells on contact. | | Good sources include asparagus, avocados, beet greens, black currants, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, collards, dandelion greens, dulse, grapefruit, kale, lemons, mangos, mustard greens, onions, oranges, papayas, green peas, sweet peppers, persimmons, pineapple, radishes, rose hips, spinach, strawberries, Swiss chard, tomatoes, turnip greens, and watercress. Orange juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, but only if it is freshly squeezed or has been processed by methods that don't involve heating or pasteurization. | | Avoid the following foods until it is determined you are not allergic to them: bananas, beef products, caffeine, chocolate, citrus fruits, corn, dairy products, eggs, oats, oysters, peanuts, processed and refined foods, salmon, strawberries, tomatoes, wheat, and white rice.
Q Avoid mucus-producing foods, such as dairy products, sugar, wheat, and food additives (see below).

See book keywords and concepts | | Some of the most common allergenic foods in adults are shrimp, lobster, crab, strawberries, chocolate, shellfish, peanuts, walnuts and other tree nuts, fish, and eggs. In children, eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, and wheat are the main culprits. Children typically outgrow allergies to milk, egg, soy, and wheat, but allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shrimp persist. Adults do not normally lose an allergy once they have it.
There is a difference between food allergies and food intolerances. |

Food Allergy and
Intolerance
It is well known that foods such as peanuts, shellfish, or strawberries, or additives such as tartrazine (Yellow Dye #5) or sulfites can trigger acute allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. These reactions may manifest as asthma, swelling, skin rashes, runny nose, or other symptoms. These types of allergic reactions are quite obvious and are easy to recognize.
Less obvious, and more controversial, are the hidden or "masked" allergies. |

How big are molecules? Picture them on the smelling strip as a huge flock of birds settled on a white sand beach. They are invisible from afar, but as you come close, you realize that the sand is teeming with millions of birds of all sizes and colours as far as the eye can see. Dozens of different species ranging from starlings to mighty pelicans, each species standing for a different molecule in the perfume. |
