Brussels Sprouts * Brussels sprouts are not really sprouts at all, but members of the cabbage family, which makes sense since that's exactly what they look like: tiny little miniature cabbages, growing tightly packed ^i^^ together on a tall, thick stalk. They were first widely cultivated in sixteenth-century Belgium, which accounts for their name (Brussels is the capital of Belgium). Members of the cruciferous vegetable family, they have many of the same nutritional benefits of other cabbages. cabbages in general probably contain more cancer-fighting nutrients than any other vegetable family.

Thus, stents and cabbages cannot prevent the formation of these deadly clots. "I think it is ingrained in the American psyche," said one cardiologist, "that the worth of medical care is directly related to how aggressive it is. Americans want a full-court press," he concluded, blaming the patient for the physician's unscientific judgment. Instead of stenting and cabbages, we would be better off with "boring old advice"; give up smoking, and get blood pressure and cholesterol levels down.

Instead of stenting and cabbages, we would be better off with "boring old advice"; give up smoking, and get blood pressure and cholesterol levels down.25 Considering these very issues, a New York Times editorial concludes: "[we] yearn for the day when there can be much wider testing of one therapy against another to identify those that work best from those that may be oversold."26 "Cardiology needs to come out of the closet," concluded Fran. SHAM SURGERY From the most heroic to the least: we turn to what is called "sham surgery." The actual practice of fake surgery is not new.
This leads us to coronary artery bypass grafts (called "cabbages" because of the CABG abbreviation), more than a half million of these surgeries are performed yearly. In this procedure, the surgeon does indeed stop the heart, and graft a piece of vein (usually the saphenous vein from the thigh) into one or more of the coronary arteries. Does "cabbage" save lives? The first major clinical trial was in the early 1980s. The Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS) consisted of 780 patients who had mild but stable angina.

It turns out that stenting and cabbages don't work, but not because of—as previously believed—various technical deficiencies. They don't work because the very model of why a heart attack occurs was incorrect. The old idea was this: "coronary disease is akin to sludge building up in a pipe." Plaque accumulates slowlv and irreversibly until one day blood cannot get through a small vessel and the patient has a heart attack.

Research carried out at Britain's Institute of Food Research has revealed that brassica vegetables such as cabbages, kale, broccoli and Brussels sprouts contain anticarcinogenic compounds, stimulating cancer cells to commit suicide. These vegetables have strong purifying effects on tissues and blood. Eating them regularly greatly reduces overall toxicity and eliminates the body's need for cancer cells. In this context, Dr. Warburg's insights about the sugar-cravings of cancer cells are very helpful. Cancer cells are unable to multiply rapidly without it.

Botanists consider these cabbages, and kale in particular, to be closest in form to the first wild cabbages, and thus probably among the first to be cultivated. The father of the science of botany, the Greek Theophrastus (372-287 B.C.), lists in his treatises the cultivation of several species of cabbage, kale among them, a record that was later confirmed by the Roman historians Pliny and Cato the Elder.

The Romans, for example, sought a cabbage with abundant inflorescence; they wound up growing the first varieties of broccoli and, later, of cauliflower.

Origin & history The early development of cabbages occurred in the Mediterranean region and the earliest reference to a turnip-like cabbage was by Pliny in the first century ad, who called it a "Pompeian cabbage". Kohlrabi is believed to be of North European origin but the exact history was never recorded. Parts used The swollen stem. Cultivation & harvesting These drought-hardy plants are grown from seeds and are now found in all temperate regions of the world. The stems are harvested when young (when they are slightly smaller than a tennis ball), as they get fibrous and bitter with age.
Nutritional value Exceptionally rich in nutrients (similar to other kales and cabbages). Brassica rapa var. chinensis pak choi • Chinese white cabbage Pak choi plant in flower Tat soi (rosette pak choi) Description A small, stemless rosette plant with dark green leaves on thick fleshy stalks and yellow flowers. Two basic types are: (1) Chinese white cabbage or pak choi, easily recognised on the market as a small rosette with a few thick leaf stalks that make up the bulk of the plant.

Pak choi or Chinese white cabbage, for example, is sometimes confused with pe tsai or headed Chinese cabbage (see B. rapa var. pekinensis). Origin & history Pak choi originated in Southeast Asia and has been grown in China and Japan for centuries. In recent years it has become well known in all temperate parts of the world.

For further information on these foods, see their respective segments in Part III.

Many of the various forms of "Chinese cabbages" have become popular in recent times but the different types (and cultivars) and their names can be very confusing (see notes under pak choi, var. chinensis). Chinese flowering cabbage should not be confused with the closely related Chinese cabbage (pak choi or bok choi) or the more distantly related Peking cabbage or heading Chinese cabbage. Since this variety is grown for the thick flowering shoots, it is often referred to as Chinese broccoli, a name usually given to Chinese kale (B. oleracea var. alboglabra).

CHENEY'S ANTIULCER CABBAGE COCKTAIL ¦ Use only fresh green cabbage heads; best are spring and summer cabbages. Fall cabbages are less effective, winter ones the least potent. ¦ Put the cabbage through a juicer or grinder. It takes about four to five pounds of summer and spring cabbage to make a quart of juice—twice that amount for winter cabbages, which give less juice. • To make it more palatable, you can use seventy-five percent cabbage juice and twenty-five percent celery juice (from both stocks and greens). Celery, too, contains the antiulcer factor.

They are found primarily in the Brassicaceae, which is the plant family containing mustard, cabbages, and horseradish. When the seeds of black mustard (Brassica nigra) are crushed, an enzyme called myrosinase is released and reacts with sinigrin, a glucosinolate present in the seeds. Myrosinase causes the sinigrin to be hydrolyzed16 and rearranged to give a compound called ally] isothiocyanate, which is very reactive toward moist human mucous membranes (see Figure 4.25, part a).

The edible Oriental cabbages are all descended from a different, more delicate-tasting Brassica species. Although hundreds of different varieties of cabbage existed at one time, most of them have now disappeared, probably because of commercial pressures involving crop standardization and productivity. It should be noted that the mustard plant, watercress, and radish are also cruciferous vegetables, as are the oleaginous species of colza and its Canadian cousin, canola.

Particularly good are cabbages like bok choy and savoy, which are super sources of beta-carotene, a nutrient that other cabbages don't have in abundance. High blood levels of beta-carotene are related to lower incidences of heart attacks, certain types of cancers, and cataracts. Not only are these cabbages high in beta-carotene; they're also a good source of vitamin C, which has been shown to boost immunity as well as reduce blood pressure and fight heart disease.
