Small animals find this very tasty. A dog can go for up to ten days without solid food before signs of starvation become evident. For most canines a period less than this is adequate. Pure water (other than from the tap) should always be made available.

Likewise, Listeria has been found on coleslaw (when the cabbage was grown in a field fertilized with manure from Listeria-infected animals), but far more often the culprit is soft cheeses and processed meats. Among plant foods, salad bars are most problematic, because pathogens can breed while the salad sits at warmer-than-refrigerator temperatures, exposed to light and air. Sprouts have the same problem. But the contribution of sprouts and salad bars to food-borne disease is still small compared to that of meats, dairy products, and eggs.

People who lose weight on this diet do so not because their blood type requires them to eat snails instead of cabbage, but because they have established an intention to do something good for themselves, and are, at least for the time being, eating fewer calories. Like Sears and Atkins, D'Adamo's diet has been popular and his books have sold millions of copies. But like Sears and Atkins, D'Adamo has done the public a disservice by pulling manv people toward animal foods.

They are told to avoid oranges, apples, wheat, peanut butter, avocados, cabbage, and potatoes, but encouraged to eat veal, ground beef, and beef heart. D'Adamo tells Type B's to eat a lot of dairy products, including frozen yogurt. He tells them to avoid sunflower seeds, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, whole wheat bread, corn, pumpkin, tofu, tempeh, and tomatoes, but encourages them to eat rabbit, lamb, and mutton. Type AB's are told to avoid corn, peppers, olives, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and lima beans, but encouraged to eat jam, jellies, rabbit, and turkey.

Thus almost any food plant—and oats, flaxseed, soybeans, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, onions, broccoli, cabbage, sprouts, citrus fruits, cranberries, grapes, and tea are only the best-studied examples—seems to protect against disease in clinical studies. The nutrients and other plant chemicals that occur in greatest amounts in these foods become candidates for use as "magic bullets," but numerous other possibilities have barely been explored. Potentially protective components also have been isolated from fish, fermented dairy foods, and even beef.

COLLARDS AND KALE (See under cabbage AND ITS KIND) COLTSFOOT [Tussilago Farfara) Brief Description Coltsfoot is one of those quirky creations of nature which involves putting the cart before the horse. Or, in this instance, "the son before the father" as its old Latin name of Filius ante patrem, implies. Very early in the Spring, coltsfoot develops flat orange flower heads, but only after they eventually wither do the broad, hoof-shaped, sea-green leaves develop. Coltsfoot is fairly common and isn't picky about the soil it grows in.

For example, one recent Australian study showed a significant inverse relationship between the risk of skin cancer and consumption of vegetables such as Swiss chard, pumpkin, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli. These foods contain high levels of several different types of carotenoids including alphacarotene, betacarotene, and vitamin C, which are known antioxidants. In addition, researchers at the Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, conducted laboratory tests to determine the effect of antioxidant nutrients on skin cancers.

Good food sources of choline include eggs, soybeans, cabbage, peanuts, and cauliflower. Choline is also available in supplements. Mighty Minerals Zinc and iron—Taken separately, these minerals appear to boost memory. Researchers at the University of Texas gave 30 mg. supplements of either iron or zinc to twenty-six women who were deficient in those minerals. After replenishing their zinc and iron, the researchers found that the women's standard memory scores increased by 10 to 20 percent. Iron—Iron deficiency has been shown to lower test scores by college students.

Nonheme iron, which is not as easily absorbed, is found in dark-green leafy vegetables; dark-red vegetables, such as red chard, beets, and red cabbage; dried fruit, beans, and whole grains and dried fruits. Sea vegetables like dulse and hiziki are also high in iron. Too much iron, however, has been implicated as a risk factor for heart disease. That is why I recommend that you have your blood-iron levels checked by your doctor to see if you are deficient before you begin adding iron-rich foods to your diet or taking iron supplements.

These include dark-green leafy vegetables, yellow and orange vegetables, fruit, liver, milk, nuts, seeds, whole grains, wheat germ, citrus fruits, tomatoes, broccoli, green peppers, strawberries, melons, cabbage, beans, eggs, and enriched breads and cereals.

Urinary Incontinence PATIENTS WHO COME to see me with the problem of urinary incontinence are usually near the end of their rope. They've typically been to several other doctors, including a urologist, and have run through a few courses of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help: At the most inopportune times they suffer an involuntary loss of urine. For some people it's only when they laugh, cough, stand up suddenly, or jog. For others, it's any time at all.

Certain foods such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower may help maintain more optimal estrogen levels by binding in a healthy way to the Ah receptor and keeping the enzymes on their job for limited periods of time. This helps turn potentially "dangerous" estrogens into "safer" ones. When dioxin is present, however, these enzymes stay active longer. This inhibits estrogen from doing its normal job. The research team says that what goes on between the estrogen receptor and the Ah receptor is important in maintaining the proper balance of estrogens in the endometrium.
