Recently, in the United states outbreaks have been traced to imported frozen fruit, particularly strawberries from Mexico. Hepatitis C has attracted the most interest lately; the infection is an epidemic in America. It is a hidden infection, presenting initially with relatively mild symptoms and then smoldering within the body, causing prolonged infection and, therefore, tissue damage. The infection may have existed 5 to 10 years or longer before it is diagnosed. This may explain why there are as many as 5 million Americans infected with this virus.

Fruit with a high fiber content, such as papaya, pears, strawberries, and kiwi, are more filling and less caustic for individuals with blood sugar problems and/or diabetes than low fiber fruit.

When I lived in Louisiana, we used to go out and pick strawberries early in the morning—endless strawberry patches. We'd put ten in the bag and one in the mouth. Many times I was amazed at how big half a worm ill could look in a strawberry. "Man, he must have been huge. Look how big half of him is," I'd think to myself. Then I'd realize where the other half was. Fortunately, I had plenty of HC1 in my stomach to destroy any parasites. Let's use the analogy of the Garden of Eden. What guards the Garden of Eden? The sword of fire that swings every which way.

At the end of a meal you are less likely to overindulge and more likely to choose small portions. 7. Buy chocolate in small quantities.

Confusion may also come from the fact that it is especially good when cooked with strawberries, a type of fruit. There are two basic types of rhubarb: outdoor and hothouse. Outdoor rhubarb comes in season in spring and lasts until fall. The stalks are often more green than red and have large, floppy, green leaves. It is quite coarse in texture and often springy. It is also very tart and requires a lot of sugar. The hothouse variety, which is produced in California, Oregon, and Michigan arrives in January and finishes up in June. It is either cherry-red or blushing-pink.

For one thing, supplements can replace the vitamins and minerals, but they never will supply the thousands of other health-enhancing phytochemicals in chin-dribbling strawberries, crunchy carrots, or a crispy sprig of broccoli. Although the research is too new to know if these phytochemicals affect mood, there is evidence that they reduce the risk for developing most chronic diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. Secondly, while a well-chosen supplement can improve some of the nutritional shortcomings of a good diet, it can't compensate for bad dietary habits.

Strawberries and raspberries perk up the same way. One must look carefully to find canned peaches that aren't prepared with heavily sugared syrup. Unsweetened peaches available at natural food stores, make a spectacular pie. Pour the peaches and their natural juice into a Pyrex saucepan, add a littie lemon peel—fresh or dried —and bring them to a simmer. Add arrowroot-water mixture to the peach juice. It will turn cloudy at first; when it bubbles and clears, pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake for a few minutes. If the pie is runny after it cools, add more arrowroot.

But the nutrient profile of the tomato-rich in vitamins A and C, and containing some fiber, too-fits right in with the cancer-prevention recommendations that the National Cancer Institute and other groups have issued based on our current knowledge of how diet affects the disease.

Kitchen Tips: strawberries don't need elaborate storage at home. Leave them unwashed before storing; just place in an open paper bag and refrigerate them. They'll last a few days. Should you find yourself with underripe berries, set them on top of your refrigerator and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let them sit there overnight, and they'll get sweeter. To prepare, wash first, then hull. That way you won't wash flavorful juices away. Accent on Enjoyment: A good strawberry needs no embellishing.

Grapes, certain nuts, and strawberries have high concentrations of ellagic acid, a powerful inhibitor of mutagenesis. Wine, especially red wine, is astoundingly high in gallic acid. (Red wine also contains chemicals that may promote cell mutations in test tubes.) Wheat bran and barley seed are high in ferulic acid, another laboratory-proven anticancer compound. Plums, cherries, apples, pears, and grapes are high in cinnamic acid, another phenol shown to be biologically active. Tea is a formidable package of the phenols known as catechin, with green tea more than twice as potent as black tea.

STRAWBERRY POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS: • Destroys viruses • Linked to lower cancer deaths FOLKLORE In early pharmacopoeias, strawberries were used as a mild laxative, diuretic, and astringent. Linnaeus, according to Maud Grieve in her 1931 A Modern Herbal, was the first to discover and prove the efficacy of the berries as a cure for rheumatic gout.

Shellfish, strawberries, milk, fish, beans, and nuts are common allergenic foods. Obviously, if one of these foods gives you hives, you should avoid it (see Food Allergy, page 146). Sometimes people can suddenly have a reaction to a food that they've eaten in the past without problem. I had one very dismayed patient in her mid-forties who began to develop hives whenever she ate lobster, a food that she'd often enjoyed in the past. She was eager for some medication that would enable her to go back to her favorite seafood, and I had to disappoint her and tell her that she must give up lobster.
