Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | Cowden, regular consumption of potassium-rich fruits such as avocados, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, grapefruit, nectarines, oranges, and vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, green peas, potatoes, and squash can lower high blood pressure. Steaming rather than boiling vegetables helps prevent vital nutrient loss.
Calcium: Calcium has been shown to lower blood pressure in hypertensives. | J. Robert Hatherill See book keywords and concepts | GST is a detoxifying enzyme from the liver that speeds reactions with highly reactive chemicals called electrophiles, thus forming less toxic varieties

AGENTS THAT INCREASE DETOXIFYING ACTIVITY (GST) citrus fruits broccoli, garlic, cauliflower, cabbage celery seed oil magnesium low-protein and high-carbohydrate diet that are then removed in the urine. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | Increased Variation—A greater variety of vegetables also exposes the consumer to, literally, more colorful foods—red beets, chard, yellow squash, red peppers, cabbage. "This is more important than you may have imagined," says Dr. Berkson. "Variations in color are due to various minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients that perform important health-promoting functions in the body. | Rowan Robinson See book keywords and concepts | | As a companion plant, cannabis protects against the white cabbage butterfly and guards potatoes from late blight by Phytophtora infestans. Beans grown together with hemp will not become infested with brown spot. Hemp is effective against infestation of asters by Fusarium, protects sugar beets from turnip fleas, and guards peas from pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum). Weevils are not likely to become established in granaries where hemp has been dried. | | The primer recommended moor land:
He who grows hemp in the moor is carrying on true moor-culture since the options are quite limited: the moor farmer grows potatoes, cabbage, and some grains as well as corn. Little else can grow here. . . . Here the mighty hemp plant enters as saviour of the moor lands. It grows quick and large and helps cultivate the land. Most any crop is happy to alternate with hemp, since hemp's shady umbrella forces weeds to their knees. It keeps the moor ground dark, clean, and healthy. Also the moor's tendency to late rust doesn't bother hemp a bit.... | J. Robert Hatherill See book keywords and concepts | Fibers not effective in binding PCB are burdock (popular in Asian food), cabbage, soybean, radish, carrot, corn, and cellulose.
To remove pollutants, drink plenty of water (which increases chemical removal through urine). Also include fiber from the following foods in your diet every day: þWheat bran (binds cadmium and mercury) þRice bran, spinach (binds PCB) þPsyllium, oat bran (increases bile removal)
Zapping Cancer
Certainly everyone should practice chemoprevention, especially people who have a high risk of cancer and heart disease. | William Duffy See book keywords and concepts | Go heavy on the cabbage like the Russians and the Irish. You can use rolled oats—or oat flour—instead of corn, as the Scotch and Irish do. Or use onion stock and add chopped uncooked vegetables and end up the Mediterranean way. The point is, if you can find decent vegetables, you'll have great soup. The tamari takes care of the seasoning.
Among American sugar-pushing people killers, Fannie Farmer is certainly the queen. Whether she reflected the Victorian era or influenced it, we'll never know. Certainly her cookbooks were bibles in the American kitchens at the turn of the century. | | The Mongol armies got as far as Hungary in the thirteenth century, where they introduced salted cabbage to Europe. As sauerkraut, it became one of the principal foods of Germany and Eastern Europe.
Julius Caesar's legions, the most efficient fighting machine the world had ever known, ranged far from Rome. The sole provisions were sacks of grain—one for each man. Like the Viet Cong, Caesar's men did not have sugar or kitchens, nor did they have a medical corps, only surgeons for repairing wounds. | | Pliny has said that cabbage kept
Rome out of the hands of physicians for many centuries.
It was the European armies traveling in the other direction that ran into trouble. In his history of the invasion of sugar-rich Egypt by the Crusaders of St. Louis in 1260, Sire Jean de Joinville described the fungous putrid bleeding gums, the hemorrhagic skin spots, and the swollen legs that plagued Christian armies and led to the ultimate defeat and capture of the holy knights and their commander. | | If Lind had taken his sailors off sugar or given them infusions of pine needle tea or bancha tea dr fed them cabbage, sprouts, scurvy grass, seaweed, or raw fish—all of which abound in ascorbic acid—the British might have had an entirely different monicker.
Britain's confusion between lemons and limes played havoc with Sir George Nare's polar expedition in 1875. West Indian limes instead of Mediterranean lemons were packed for the voyage: Scurvy broke out and the expedition was ruined. An inquest failed to agree on the cause of the debacle. | | Use chopped beets and beet tops, with a little cabbage, and you have a kind of borscht. Add slices of pumpkin and/or butternut squash to the onion, saute1 it until soft add water—and you have pumpkin soup. When I use pumpkin or squash, I prefer a heavy soybean oil instead of sesame. Combined with onion and butternut squash, this tastes—to me anyway—like cream of tomato.
If you can find leeks, use them in addition to or in place of the onion, then you are moving in the direction of what used to be called vichyssoise; thicken it with oat flour. 1 avoid tomatoes and potatoes in soup. | | The convicts were fed all they could eat of best white bread, corn pone, hominy grits, sweet potatoes, salt pork, cane syrup, cabbage, and coffee. The experiment began in April 1915. The men—among them lifers and murderers —were promised freedom at the end of the experiment. Breakfast was biscuits, cornmeal mush, polished rice, cane syrup, coffee, and sugar; at noon, cornbread, collard greens, sweet potatoes, cane syrup, and hominy grits. Supper was grits, biscuits, mush, gravy, cane syrup, sugar, and coffee. For variety, supper was sometimes served at noon. | J. Robert Hatherill See book keywords and concepts | Green tea can protect from tobacco smoke toxicity, and cabbage is high in vitamins C and E.
Tobacco smoke is a complex mixture containing over 4,000 identified components. When tobacco burns it causes unstable, highly reactive compounds called free radicals to form. Free radicals are molecules that have an imbalance in their electrons that compels them to be reactionary, so they race wildly around in your cells searching for more electrons. | Lendon H. Smith, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | | Natural control: Add vitamins A, E, and B-complex; zinc; aloe vera; fiber; plus drink carrot and cabbage juice daily. No tobacco, caffeine, alcohol, fried foods, spices. Herbal remedies: Orzya sativa, Panicum miliaceum, Triticum vulgare, licorice root, slippery elm.
VISION PROBLEMS
Allopathic control: Drops for glaucoma, surgery for crossed eyes and cataracts.
Natural control: Developmental optometrists, training. Herb: Blueberry.
WARTS
Allopathic control: Liquid nitrogen, surgery.
Natural control: Vitamin A: 100,000 units daily for seven to ten days. | Gary Null, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | Especially noteworthy are the cruciferous vegetables—broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, radishes, and watercress—for their anti-cancer properties. Melatonin, for immunity-boosting and better sleep, is found in bananas, corn, and tomatoes. Chromium helps regulate insulin and can be found in apples, broccoli, grapes, raisins, mushrooms, and potatoes. Magnesium defends against asthma and heart disease, and is also a memory booster. Good fruit and vegetable sources include avocados, bananas, and dark green vegetables. | | We should be eating things such as millet, buckwheat, brown rice, spelt, rye, quinoa, raw vegetables and fruits of all types, tem-peh, tofu, nuts, tubers—yams, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. And the only oil we should use in cooking is macadamia oil, because it's the only one that is heat stable. Canola oil, from new information published recently, is not stable. As a result, it is potentially dangerous to your health. Use canola oil only in salad dressings, not in cooking. | Annemarie Colbin See book keywords and concepts | Turnips, kale, cabbage, and soybeans (including tofu) contain traces of antithyroid factors; as the thyroid regulates sexual desire, activity, and fertility, when consumed in large enough quantities these foods could possibly inhibit sexuality by lowering thyroid energy.5 Oriental folk rumor, which I've been unable to verify, has it that tofu "cools the sex organs" and is used by monks for the specific purpose of aiding them in maintaining celibacy. | | EXPANSIVE/CONTRACTIVE FACTORS IN FOODS

DENSE. | | Among the best documented are the cruciferous vegetable category, which includes broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and brussels sprouts, and foods high in beta-carotene, such as yams, sweet potatoes, winter squash, carrots, cantaloupe, and dark greens, such as collards, mustard greens, turnip tops, and parsley. There is a movement afoot called Five-a-Day, which encourages people to consume five servings of fruits and vegetables daily—not a bad place to start! | Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D. See book keywords and concepts | Why do you taste the off flavors in cabbage and coffee, while these are a friend's favorite foods?
• Why does a harmless plate of chocolates beckon? You try to ignore them—even leave the room—but it's no use: The cravings can be as strong as an addiction. Your willpower usually drains away, and there you are eating one, then another and another. You couldn't stop. No matter how many pieces you eat, you don't get full. You probably will realize later that you weren't even hungry. So you're left wondering why you gorge on chocolate but can't find room for those vegetables. | | Add 2 cups preshredded cabbage mix and I tablespoon peanut sauce. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes (or until heated through, but still crunchy). Top with !A cup chopped fresh cilantro. | | Avoid eating any foods that cause discomfort after noon
Apples, raw Avocados Broccoli
Brussels sprouts cabbage and sauerkraut Cantaloupe Cauliflower Corn

Rare cases of medically diagnosed hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can trigger discomfort and hunger, even in the middle of the night, and can lead to night awakenings. Hypoglycemics should not snack on cookies, ice cream, or other high-sugar foods before bedtime, since these foods only aggravate low blood sugar and sleep problems. | | The reason could be differences in sensitivity to specific bitter compounds in foods, such as phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) or 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) in cabbage. To about 25 percent of the population, these compounds are extremely bitter (the supertasters), to another 50 percent they're only mildly bitter, and the rest of us can't taste them at all. For supertasters with their overabundance of taste buds, the world is like a rock concert of flavors— too many, too loud, and too crowded. | Doug Dollemore, Mark Giuliucci and the Editors of Men's Health Magazine See book keywords and concepts | Men who eat lots of fibrous fruits, vegetables and whole grains, such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, apples, bananas, mangoes and whole-wheat cereals and breads, have fewer colon and rectal cancers than men who don't eat these foods, Dr. Simone says. Fiber helps speed stool through your body and reduce exposure of your digestive tract to carcinogens.
The National Cancer Institute recommends that men eat at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber a day. | Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D. See book keywords and concepts | If a lack of time is your excuse for not eating more vegetables and fruits, look for prewashed and chopped vegetables, shredded cabbage, bags of bite-sized carrots, peeled and cored pineapple, jars of minced garlic, and prepared fresh fruir salads in rhe produce deparrment. Frozen berries and melons also add variety without adding time to meal preparation.
Which is Best—Fresh, Frozen, or Canned?
If you are fortunate enough to have access to produce straight from the farm, then fresh is best. | Sheldon Saul Hendler and David Rorvik See book keywords and concepts | Physiological effects of cabbage with reference to its potential as a dietary cancer-inhibitor and its use in ancient medicine.

MINERALS-SODIUM
Value. Sodium is an alkalizer or digestive chemical. It is necessary to have sodium in the body in order to use the iron. Sodium prevents catarrh and various hardening processes.
Result of deficiency. A deficiency in sodium can well result in a deficiency in iron. In addition, indigestion may be common and the hardening processes of old age, with deposits of calcium around bone joints causing arthritis and rheumatism, is more likely to take place. | | Potassium is found in beans, asparagus, potatoes, raisins, spinach, dates, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, peaches and sea plants.
MINERALS-SILICON
Value. Silicon is reported to harden the teeth, make the hair glossy, improve the eyesight and complexion, and make the body tissues strong and supple. It is also said to help keep the fingernails and toenails strong and to keep the body in good tone.
Result of deficiency. Insufficient silicon in the body may cause baldness or gray hair. It also makes it difficult to have a good skin complexion and there may be skin irritations and rashes. | | Chlorine is found in cheese, celery, cabbage, tomatoes, endive, spinach, fish, alfalfa, and sea vegetation.
MINERALS-COPPER
Value. Copper is necessary in the body for the assimilation of iron.
Result of deficiency. A deficiency in copper results in the same deficiencies which occur when iron is deficient in supply, such as anemia, pale complexion, and a general weakened condition with poor resistance to disease. |
