A piece of cantaloupe, she notes, has fallen from Selena's plate to the tile floor, and a small line of ants—the same ants that have plagued her kitchen all summer—are veering in that direction. The house is sprayed yearly for termites, but she hasn't yet called their pest-control company about the ants. Spraying means leaving the house with the kids for the day, to be on the safe side, and she can't figure out when a good day for that might be. | Mom sets out cheese nachos for lunch, served from their plastic wrapper fresh from the microwave, estrogen-disruptor laden, and some strawberries heavily sprayed with insecticides. At this point, our young mom's mast cells are being hit nonstop, overwhelmed by the pesticides she's taking in through her skin, the virus through her nose and mouth, the chemicals and additives through her food. A triple whammy. All these cause mast cells to stay turned on for far too long. The cytokines, running amok, begin to signal the immune system to target the body's own tissue and organs and fire away. | Consider now the strawberries and cantaloupe Becky prepares for breakfast. Prior to arriving on her daughter's plate they have been sprayed repeatedly with insecticides to help protect their skins from pests both in the field and during transit to Becky's local grocery store, where she bought them wholly unblemished. Back on the farm, this cantaloupe, like most cantaloupes, was treated with organochlorine pesticides—in this case, a type known as endosul-fan. Commonly used today on melons, traces of endosulfan are found in the food we eat more than any other pesticide. | David W.

Grotto, RD, LDN See book keywords and concepts | Blackberries are high in antioxidants: An in vitro study found that blackberries had the highest antioxidant capacity when compared with blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, and raspberries. They are also rich in vitamin C, fiber, and in the phytochemicals tannin, flavonoid, and cyani-din, which have anticarcinogenic properties. Blackberries also contain catechins, such as quercetin, which is an antioxidant that can reduce the risk of heart disease and stop the action of histamine for people with allergies. | Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews See book keywords and concepts | Remember that each of the 14 SuperFoods has sidekicks (page 3) so you're not limited to these specific foods, just one from say, the beans group which could include garbanzo beans or kidney beans, or say, the blueberry group which could include grapes, strawberries, cherries, etc. | Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. See book keywords and concepts | You should also try sliced bananas, ripe mangos, strawberries, or other favorite fruits on toast. Think outside the box. Why not breakfast on lentil or pea soup or—my personal favorite—leftover salad?
Start as many meals as possible with salads. They're healthy and filling, and satisfying in a wonderful way. Add all the vegetables you can. Salad dressing can be a bit difficult at first, now that you are eating no oils at all. It is important to find one that you like, so spend some time experimenting. | David W.

What's the Story? | C. W. Randolph, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | This type of fiber is found in oatmeal, oat bran, dried peas, beans, lentils, apples, pears, strawberries, and blueberries. Soluble fiber is good for you, but no matter how much of it you eat, it won't influence your hormonal equilibrium. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, can directly help to decrease estrogen overload. It binds itself to extra estrogen in the digestive tract, which is then excreted by the body. | Reach first for color-rich fruits such as blueberries or strawberries.
I recommend the following single serving of fruit each day: half a cup of berries; one medium apple, pear, peach, or banana; or one medium avocado.
Healthy Oils
/ USE AS NEEDED IN COOKING OR AS A CONDIMENT.
For cooking and salad dressings, you can use extra-virgin olive oil. In addition to providing a delicious flavoring to cooked foods and salads, olive oil has been shown in studies to have a heart-protective benefit.

Spoon the compote immediately into 5, dessert-sized ramekins or an 8" x 8" baking dish (coat the dish with grapeseed or canola spray for 4 seconds). Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. | Dr. Steve Blake See book keywords and concepts | Food also contains water in varying amounts. strawberries, watermelon, and broccoli contain about 90 percent water. Bread and cheese contain about 35 percent water. Water from food accounts for about 35 percent of our water intake. Together, water from food and beverages accounts for 90 percent of our water intake.
When food is metabolized for energy in the cells, one byproduct is water. This metabolic water accounts for about 10 percent of our water. | William Duffy See book keywords and concepts | If you think you can't enjoy strawberries without sugar, try this: Wash the strawberries leaving the stems on; add a teaspoon of sea salt to a pint of cold water; leave the strawberries in the cold salt water mixture for a half hour or so.

In fact, myriad products we use daily can harbor toxic substances that our bodies absorb little by little over time—from mattresses, magazines, and mouthwash to carpets, clothing, and cosmetics. | Antoinette Saville and Antony J. Haynes See book keywords and concepts | Other foods cause the release of histamine: molluscs, crustaceans, strawberries, tomatoes, chocolate, bananas and papayas (which contain enzymes called proteases) and alcohol.
?Other foods contain amines (protein groups) such as tyramine, which have a vasoactive effect - meaning they affect the constriction of blood vessels: cabbage, cheese, citrus fruit, seafood, strawberries, salami and other cured meats, and potatoes.

You now know that there are many different symptoms that can indicate the presence of a food intolerance. | Paul D. Blanc, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Pure chloropicrin is also the soil fumigant of choice for some crops such as strawberries, and its application has caused illness by drifting into nearby communities.83 Bromine, which was used as a war gas but was never a major factor on the front lines, has made a comeback, of sorts, in home watet decontamination. Although hot tub disinfector's lunghas not yet been named as such, a number of case reports have documented irritant lung damage following mishaps with bromine when it is used in this manner. Some of these cases have the classic symptoms of RADS. | Gary Null and Amy McDonald See book keywords and concepts | Serves 1

They are instead hypersensitivities to the much more commonly eaten everyday foods, such as milk, wheat and corn. These are the kinds of foods that can get to be problems."
Food intolerance was initially studied about fifty years ago. "A physician named Herbert Rinkel was the first one to observe that a food a person ate all the time might be causing symptoms, but you couldn't see the relationship," Dr. Gerdes says. | Peter J.

I love almost all types of fruit, but my absolute favorites are strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries! My favorite jam is triple berry. Favorite pie? You guessed it-berry! One of the food products that gets me through winter is frozen berries; we blend smoothies year-round in the Magee house! And to me, summer hasn't really begun until I've gone to the farmers' market in my town and made a batch of triple berry jam (using less sugar, of course).

The longer Wareham talks, the more apparent it became that he's a walking advertisement for the Blue
Zone lifestyle of the Adventists. "I am very fond of nuts, all kinds of nuts," he said happily. "I have to restrain myself. Most days I eat two meals, first around ten in the morning and then again around four in the afternoon, so I can keep my weight down. When I eat, I really enjoy it, and twice a day is enough. Nuts are usually part of the menu. | Elaine Magee See book keywords and concepts | But they also contain ellagic acid (especially prominent in strawberries and raspberries) that laboratory studies have shown may help prevent cancers of the skin, bladder, lung, esophagus, and breast. "This phytochemical seems to use several different anticancer methods at once: It acts as an antioxidant, it helps the body deactivate specific carcinogens, and it helps slow the reproduction of cancer cells," notes the AICR. And blueberries contain a family of phenolic compounds called anthocyanosides, which seem to be among the most potent antioxidants yet discovered.
Ample antioxidants. | Raspberries possess 50 percent more antioxidant power than strawberries, 10 times more than tomatoes, and three times more than kiwifruit, according to a recent study by Dutch scientist Jules Beekwilder, PhD, with Plant Research International in Wageningen, the Netherlands. The study suggests that while vitamin C makes up about 20 percent of the total antioxidant activity in raspberries and red anthocyanins account for 25 percent, the lion's share-more than 50 percent-comes from phytochemicals called ellagitannins. | Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, for example, contain several types of bioflavonoids and-along with blueberries-some phenolic acids. Both of those phytochemical families have powerful antioxidant duties in the body and help protect against disease in several different ways.
Cancer-fighting compounds. Berries have been named a "food that fights cancer" by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR). Berries are loaded with vitamin C and fiber, and diets high in both of these substances have been consistently linked to lower cancer risk. |
