Apples, apple juice, barley, black currants, blueberries, chives, coffee, collards, cranberries, ginger, garlic, gooseberries, grapes, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, mushrooms (notably shiitake), orange juice, peaches, pineapple juice, plums, plum juice, raspberries, sage, seaweed, spearmint, strawberries, tea, wine (red). | | For example, men and women who ate 180 milligrams of vitamin C a day (the amount in a cup of strawberries plus a cup of broccoli) had 11 percent higher HDLs than those who ate one third as much vitamin C, according to Dr. Judith Hallfrisch of the National Institutes of Health. One theory is that vitamin C protects HDLs from attack and destruction by rampaging oxygen free radicals.
And you have only to consider the arteries of experimental monkeys to understand how vital vitamin C and E are to preventing artery clogging. Anthony J. Verlangieri, Ph.D. | | Farther down the list were pork, beef, corn, soy, tea, oats, coffee, peanuts, bacon, potatoes, apples, peaches, grapes, chicken, bananas, strawberries, melon and carrots.
Most children reacted to several foods, although about 20 percent reacted to only one. Some of the migraines struck within minutes of eating an offending food; in other cases there was an interval of more than a week before the onset of pain. The average was two to three days. |

Linus Pauling is gone—dead at the age of 93 from cancer. But at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine in Palo Alto, California, and in research labs across the country, his scientific legacy lives on. Experts continue to investigate the healing potential of vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid. |

At one time experts cautioned people with diverticulosis against eating foods with seeds and hulls, such as tomatoes, strawberries and popcorn. It was feared such matter could become trapped in the diverticular pouch and promote inflammation and a painful acute attack. But in actuality, such pips and seeds are not much of a worry, many experts now say, and have reversed their ban on them.
"There is no dose of bran that is correct for every patient any more than there is a standard dose of insulin. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The kind of fiber found in strawberries, whole oats, and oat bran (called soluble fiber) can also lower your LDL levels.
7:20-7:45 a.m.: Show support. While eating your perfect breakfast, get cozy with your spouse. Whisper something nice in your partner's ear. Talk about your day ahead and listen attentively, empathizing while your spouse talks about what's coming up. That's good for your heart, too.
Research has found that people who are in supportive relationships are less likely to develop heart disease than isolated types. |
Laurie Deutsch Mozian, M.S., R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Thus far, foods with high ORAC activity, such as spinach, strawberries, and blueberries, have raised the antioxidant power of human blood. Scientists say that the increases in plasma ORAC can't be explained fully by increases in levels of the separate antioxidant vitamins. They theorize that the body must be absorbing other compounds from fruits and vegetables. (Might these "other compounds" be the up-and-coming phytochemicals?) described above appear to be imperative in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. | | They are found in large amounts in apples, potatoes, and lettuce, and to a lesser extent in strawberries and Brussels sprouts.
Calcium (KAL-see-um). Though calcium is most known to be found in milk, this mineral is abundant in plants as well and is found in leafy greens and legumes. It is used by the body to build bones and teeth and also plays a critical role in muscle action and thereby helps to maintain the heartbeat. Calcium must be present for muscles to work and for the nervous system to function and transmit impulses. | | It is found in grapes; berries, including strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries; and nuts.
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EP-ee-GAL-oh-KAT-e-kin THREE GAL-ate). Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenol found in green tea. Green tea is commonly consumed in China and Japan in quantities as high as ten cups a day. In the laboratory, green tea consumed at the rate of four or more cups a day was experimentally shown to decrease tumor initiation, decrease tumor progression, and cause the regression of established tumors of the skin. | | Berries
Among the many varieties of berries, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries are good sources of the anticancer phytochemicals anthocyanin, ellagic acid, and carotenoids. Berries are also rich in quercetin, which is thought to protect against cardiovascular disease as well as cancer, and they are a good source of the phytonutrient ascorbic acid. Most berries are also very good sources of fiber. Blueberries are particularly rich in antioxidant activity. One cup of blueberries alone supplies a whopping 3,200 ORAC units (see page 12). |
Dr. Michael Heinrich, Joanne Barnes, Simon Gibbons and Elizabeth M. Williamson
See book keywords and concepts |  In the case of medicinal plants, cell cultures are used:
• As a starting point for investigating the biochemical basis of the biosynthesis of natural products and for breeding new varieties/strains.
• As a basis for vegetative propagation of plants to be used as a phytomedicine or for isolating a pure natural product, especially if a consistent quality of the strains or a fungi- or virus-free culture is required. |
Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra
See book keywords and concepts |  Eating a combination of complex carbohydrates and fiber, such as shredded wheat with blueberries or strawberries, will control hunger even longer because fiber taken with water or another liquid will bulk up in the gastrointestinal tract, thus creating a longer-lasting feeling of fullness.
If you choose a breakfast that combines fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates, you may safely have a cup of coffee (without added sugar) without beginning the sugar/caffeine cycle. |
Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A.
See book keywords and concepts |  Natural sources of vitamin C complex: acerola berry, kiwi fruit, strawberries, citrus fruits, pineapple, guava, broccoli, kale, peppers (especially red), beets, spinach, collards, corn, parsley, turnip greens, raw milk, and adrenal glands.
Vitamins are required only in small amounts and have their most potent function when ingested as a whole food complex. All of the synergists are contained in the whole complex and work together to produce the greatest benefit. | | The twelve fruits and vegetables that were found to contain the most toxic pesticides are: strawberries, green and red bell peppers, spinach, cherries, peaches, cantaloupe (Mexican), celery, apples, apricots, green beans, grapes, and cucumbers. Quite alarmingly, even previously banned pesticides were detected at high levels. The answer is to buy only organically grown fruits and vegetables and to wash them thoroughly.
THE ONCOGENE THEORY
Is there a gene, called an "oncogene," that causes cancer? |
Neal Barnard, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Citrus fruits, strawberries, and green vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts are especially rich in vitamin C. As you eat them, you can almost feel their protection working its way into your blood. It is an extraordinary slayer of free radicals.
Its principal advocate was Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, who demonstrated the vitamin's power against colds. But that was just for starters. Vitamin C helps make the collagen protein that strengthens our muscles, bones, and skin. It is also used to make brain chemicals that regulate moods and other psychological functions. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts | | You would tend toward colorful fruits, like strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, oranges; you would eat red grapes with a passion. You would eat nuts of all kinds for their protective vitamin E and other anticancer agents, namely Brazil nuts for their selenium, walnuts for their ellagic acid, and almonds for their oleic acid—although not so fanatically as to add needless pounds. Leaner people who eat fewer calories are less likely to fall prey to cancer. |

Personal Advice
Once again, common sense should prevail in the event of an injury. If the trauma causes severe pain, if the injury is to a joint or its ligaments, if there is numbness or loss of function (for instance, if you can't move fingers or toes), or if you suspect a fracture, don't self-treat. See a doctor. |
Adrian Forsyth and Kenneth Miyata
See book keywords and concepts |  The principle behind search imaging is simple and has implications in our own lives, for example, when we go out to hunt wild strawberries. While we poke around on hands and knees, our eyes receive impressions of intermingled leaf colors, grasses and twigs, and perhaps a passing bird or two; but an efficient picker responds only to the brief flashes of red that signal a ripe strawberry. Irrelevant detail is ignored, and search-imaging strawberry pickers do much better than daydreamers who let their eyes linger on everything in sight. |
Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Fruits and vegetables, particularly green and citrus fruits, currants, strawberries, potatoes, turnips, and green leafy vegetables, provide important combinations of beneficial antioxidants and natural protective factors, including vitamin C. However, since few people get enough vitamin C from food, daily supplements of calcium ascorbate are recommended.
Vitamin E—Vitamin E is found in olive oil, a staple of Mediterranean countries, green leafy vegetables, soybeans, alfalfa, and sunflower and sesame seed. It is also available in supplement form. | | Good sources of soluble fiber include apples, bananas, oat bran, and strawberries.
Drinking eight to ten glasses of filtered water daily is essential for proper digestion and can prevent constipation. A lack of exercise is also a likely cause of constipation, particularly for people who have sedentary jobs. A brisk walk daily can help keep your digestive juices flowing and your body working at its best. In addition, certain commonly prescribed medications such as diuretics, painkillers, and tranquilizers, can cause constipation. | | 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.
Don't wait until the symptoms are completely debilitating—start treatment at the first sign of a cold. Get extra rest and, if possible, cut back on your usual schedule for a few days to give your body a chance to heal.
Earl's Rx
Here's what I do when I feel a cold coming on.
Vitamin C: Four 500 mg. capsules of calcium ascorbate daily. | | Two years ago, Cornell University food scientists published data showing that eating green peppers, pineapples, carrots, strawberries, and, especially, tomatoes, can suppress the formation of nitrosamines in humans. Although it is well-known that these foods contain a lot of vitamin C, which in itself can sidetrack the formation of nitrosamines, researchers set out to find what they felt was an even more potent nitrosamine blocker than could be accounted for by vitamin C alone. |
Sheldon Saul Hendler
See book keywords and concepts |  Some really are allergic to certain foods, such as strawberries or shellfish. But these people usually react in a violent manner to these foods (with symptoms such as rash, swelling and difficulty in breathing).
Some nutrients have been found to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of allergies and sensitivities. Vitamin C, at a dose of 1 gram daily, may help prevent some symptoms of allergic asthma. Vitamin B6, in doses of 50 to 100 mg daily, can also help prevent and treat these asthmatic symptoms. |
James A. Duke, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  One piece of advice, though: Don't drink strawberry leaf tea if you're allergic to strawberries.
V Yarrow (Achillea millefolium). Yarrow is useful for relieving women's painful cramps, according to Commission E. I am not surprised at this endorsement, as yarrow contains a number of antispasmodic constituents.
Morning Sickness
Awhile back, one of my nieces telephoned to ask what I would recommend for morning sickness. She was pregnant and having trouble keeping anything down. I was faced with my usual problem: I'm a botanist, not a clinician. Suppose I'm wrong? | | According to my database, the top boron-containing foods, in descending order of potency, include strawberries, peaches, cabbage, tomatoes, dandelion, apples, asparagus, figs, poppy seeds, broccoli, pears, cherries, beets, apricots, currants, parsley, dill and cumin seed.
Working with all the estrogenic and boron-containing plants and herbs, you can concoct some interesting salads and vegetable dishes.
V Assorted herbs. A number of other herbs contain phytoestrogens that could prove useful in helping with menopause. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The fruits with the highest natural concentrations are citrus fruits, rose hips, and acerola cherries, followed by papayas, cantaloupes, and strawberries. Good vegetable sources include red and green peppers (the best), broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, asparagus, parsley, dark leafy greens, cabbage, and sauerkraut. There is not much available in the whole grains, seeds, and beans; however, when these are sprouted, their vitamin C content shoots up. Sprouts, then, are good foods for winter and early spring, when other fresh fruits and vegetables are not as available. |
David Heber, M.D., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | If you don't mind the taste of frozen fruits and vegetables, you can enjoy strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, spinach, broccoli, and many other fruits and vegetables year-round no matter where you live. When it comes to tomatoes, heat processing releases the red pigment, lycopene, so it can be absorbed into your body. So stock up on tomato sauces, tomato soups, and tomato and mixed-vegetable juices. As little as six ounces of mixed-vegetable juice can significantly increase the levels of lycopene in your body, where it is able to act to protect your DNA. |
John Heinerman
See book keywords and concepts |  Both strawberries and raspberries make excellent dentifrices—an almost perfect means of preventing tartar from settling on the teeth. When either berry is cut in half, the fruit is then rubbed over the tartar-covered teeth or mashed to a pulp and gently applied with a wet, soft-bristled toothbrush. For best results, the juice should stay on the teeth for as long as possible and then only be rinsed with a little warm water.
To make a good berry mouthwash, simply add 1/4 cup honey to a cup of berry juice and bring to a boil for a few seconds. |
