Interestingly, he noted that foods like cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, watercress, leeks, onion, radish, cauliflower, and horseradish—all sulfur-bearing foods—have properties that have been demonstrated in scientific studies to inhibit certain types of experimentally induced cancers. "The purifying and beneficial properties of sulfur have been known for millennia," wrote Stephen C. Mitchell, M.D., editor of Biological Interactions of Sulfur Compounds (Taylor & Francis), and "probably a quarter of pharmaceutical products presently used contain sulfur.

In plants, sulfur is found mostly in protein and also in compounds that give certain plants their famous odors—onions, garlic, horseradish, and cabbage, for instance. Sulfur, in fact, is fairly synonymous with smells. "Some, such as those (compounds) present in skunk odor and flatulence, we find repellent," wrote Huxtable. "Others, such as those found in truffles, coffee and asparagus, the majority of us find attractive. Others, again, exemplified by the sulfur-containing constituents of garlic and onions, we may at times find attractive, and on other occasions, distasteful.

She would boil carrots, cabbage, string beans, onion, celery, and tomatoes in a big pot of water, discard the cooked vegetables, and drink the broth at mealtimes. That—and a daily vitamin pill—was the extent of her food consumption during this phase of her monthly cycle. By following this severe, not to mention unhealthy, regimen, she was able to control her hunger and cravings until a few days past ovulation. Then, despite her rigid self-discipline, she would inevitably lose the battle against her cravings and, not surprisingly, would start eating everything in sight.

Remember the grapefruit diet? The cabbage soup diet?) Nor do I put anything completely off limits forever. I believe that an occasional indulgence is good for the soul. As a result, because people have access to their own personal favorites among a variety of fresh, tasty, nutritious foods, compliance is high—and not just for two weeks or two months, which is how long most of us stay on "diets." In fact, I am loath to even call the food choices I recommend a "diet." The word itself smacks of deprivation and misery. Don't you get hungry just thinking about "going on a diet"?

Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey of 11,658 Americans, on an average day, 41 percent eat no fruit at all, 72 percent eat no vitamin-C rich fruits, 82 percent eat no cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, and 84 percent eat no high-fiber, whole-grain foods. These folks (and statistically speaking, you're likely to be among them) are headed toward trouble—if not now, then as they get older when their body's internal production of protective nutrients declines. The only way they are going to get the vitamins and minerals they need is by taking nutritional supplements.

Fresh leafy green vegetables such as cabbage and spinach are also valuable, as are foods rich in unrefined starch, such as white potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, squash and carrots. Almost any produce that comes out of your garden is going to help you. Dried fruits are also an excellent concentrated source of fiber, but they should always be taken either with plentiful fluids or stewed. Prunes, by the way, are valuable both for their intrinsic fiber and for a specific substance—which has so far resisted chemical identification— that has a direct laxative effect.

Eating broccoli, cabbage and other members of the cole family offers protection against a broad array of cancers. The fact that the phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables are potent anticancer agents helps explain why cancer studies involving vitamin supplements have had such lackluster results: The pills contain only a fraction of what the plants have to offer. Until researchers can identify and encapsulate all the myriad healing substances found in plants, it is far wiser to eat the whole foods themselves.
