Pectin, a soluble fiber, is found in a variety of fruits—apples, oranges and other citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli, and carrots. One of the extra benefits of soluble fiber is its mild but definite cholesterol-lowering action. Insoluble fiber, also called "roughage," is the cellulose and hemicellulose in the skin of fruits and vegetables, and the outer layer (the bran) of corn and wheat kernels. It provides bulk to the stool, makes it soft, and speeds its passage through the bowel.

The NRDC calculates that children's consumption of cranberries is underestimated fourteenfold; grapes, sixfold; apples and oranges, fivefold; apricots, fourfold; strawberries, threefold; carrots and broccoli, twofold. As a result of not calculating children's food consumption and underestimating adults' consumption of fruits and vegetables, many of the maximum "acceptable" levels of pesticide residues set by the EPA are not safe for children.

The rich red fruits—watermelon, raspberries, strawberries, and ruby red grapefruit, for example—are rich in lycopene, a strong antioxidant that scavenges harmful free radicals. The yellow fruits?bananas, lemons, yellow grapefruit, pineapple—often represent a range of phytochemicals, but prominent among the phytochemicals they contain are the antioxidant flavonoids and the cancer-preventing terpenes. The orange fruits—both the ordinary orange and more offbeat specimens like papaya and apricot—are particularly rich in carotenoids, the best known of which is beta carotene.

Best sources are oatmeal and other rolled oat products, dried beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, dried peas, green beans, potatoes, squash, and strawberries. CAUTION Same as for cellulose and hemicellulose, but these can also interfere with the effectiveness of certain antifungal medications containing griseofulvin, such as Grifulvin V, Grisactin, and Fulvicin, which are used to combat fungus infections. LIGNIN Lignin is an insoluble fiber that reduces the digestibility of other fibers.

Refined sugar Fruit juice, honey, raisins, fresh fruits (apricots, peaches, seedless grapes, strawberries), a dash of pure maple syrup or blackstrap molasses. (If you like blueberries, coat a handful with honey and then add them to your cereal for a fiber bonus and a 1 tablespoon butter taste treat.) CAUTION If you are taking an anticoagulant (blood thinner), don't use blackstrap molasses. It's high in vitamin K and can reverse the effect of your medication.

Unlike nectarines (a peach and plum crossbreeding) or tangelos (tangerines crossed with grapefruits), which were foods crossed with related genes, today's genetic engineers transfer genes between totally unrelated living things to produce combinations that would never occur naturally, like fish and strawberries, viruses and vegetables—and the FDA still does not require mandatory labeling of all bioengineered ingredients or special safety testing before these products reach consumers! 36.

Acetic acid Used as a synthetic flavoring agent, one of the first food additives (vinegar is approximately 4 to 6 percent acetic acid); it is found naturally in cheese, coffee, grapes, peaches, raspberries, and strawberries.

Ll Eat blackberries, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, or strawberries regularly. These berries and fruits contain substances that slow the process of atherosclerosis and give the cardiovascular system time to compensate for blockages in blood vessels. Ll Consume omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce thromboxane release, every day. Flaxseed, fish, borage, and evening primrose oils are all good sources. Ll Limit servings of meat, fish, and poultry to one per day.

RECOMMENDATIONS U Eat blackberries, blueberries, cherries, elderberries, gooseberries, raspberries, and strawberries. These fruits contain proanthocyanidins, substances that strengthen the walls of cells within gum tissue. LJ Take 50 mg of coenzyme Q10 daily. Some studies have indicated that applying coenzyme Q]0 directly to the gums results in significant improvement in periodontal disease, and a similar effect is likely from taking the supplement orally. _J To ease sore gums, mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to a paste and work this mixture into and under the gums with a toothbrush.

It is also found in plums, raspberries, and strawberries. Researchers at the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Oulu in Finland performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using chewing gum that contained either xylitol or regular sugar. The children in the study had to chew two fresh pieces of gum five times a day. At the end of a month, children who chewed the xylitol-sweetened chewing gum had 40 percent fewer ear infections. The scientists believe that xylitol retards the growth of the bacterium S.

After you are out of immediate danger, you can consume at least 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily, most of it in the form of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale), parsley, spinach, strawberries, and turnips. Vitamin C's antioxidant effect short-circuits the production of inflammatory chemicals that set off spasms in the coronary arteries. Q Avoid consuming more than three or four servings of carbohydrates at any single meal.

Thus almonds and sour apples; tahini (hulled sesame butter) and lemon sauce; yogurt and strawberries; and cottage cheese and grapefruit are all acceptable combinations of high-fat proteins with acid fruits. Even though acid retards the digestion of protein, it does this no more than the abundance of fat in a high-fat protein food. Moreover, acids actually help in the digestion of fats, and if combined with protein before it is eaten, also help break down protein chains.

Fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, cantaloupe, watermelon, bananas, apples, peaches, pears, tangerines, and strawberries, are loaded with glutathione. Second, vegetables that are commonly eaten raw (carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, and green peppers) have the same property. For some reason, cooked vegetables do not seem to be as helpful in this regard. When these fruits and raw vegetables are abundant in your diet, some of their glutathione enters your bloodstream. You can almost hear the squad cars racing in to protect you.

I heard that our Florida strawberries are rejected in Canada because of the fungicides on them. Why are they distributed here? The fungicide you are referring to is called Captan® and the Canadian government rejects fruits with more than five parts per million. Our government permits up to 25 parts per million. The fact is that Captan® is permitted at this level because it is economically beneficial to the farmers. 46. If we are very careful and remove the skins of the vegetables then are we safe from consuming chemicals like pesticides, bactericides, fungicides, herbicides, and so on?

Tomatoes, onions, strawberries, and mushrooms will need that irradiation label. In the past, spices, wheat, pork, and potatoes have not been identified as irradiated. 13. While in England, I saw they used cyclamates. Why don't we use them in the U.S.? Cyclamates are being studied here and may be approved in the future. We use saccharin in limited amounts but England does not. 14. What is another chemical that is used in the U.S. but not in England? Another example would be potassium bromate (a dough conditioner in bread, among other uses) which is not approved in England. 15.

A number of fruits were also used freely: blueberries, cloudberries, raspberries, strawberries, black currants, gooseberries, plums, and pears. Apples and citrus fruits were not allowed, and grains were either highly restricted or eliminated. The beneficial effects of this dietary regime are probably related to three areas: (1) elimination of food allergens, (2) altered prostaglandin metabolism, and (3) increased intake of antioxidant nutrients and magnesium. The importance of avoiding food allergens was discussed earlier.
