More and more research points to the diet and cancer connection.
For example, the closest associations between diet and colorectal cancer are high fat intake, particularly saturated fat, and low consumption of vegetables.
In Going Green, Cheap and Easy, you'll get all the information you need to avoid pesticides and carcinogens and preservatives that have been implicated in cancer.
If you load up your plate with fresh broccoli and spinach, you’re doing your body a favor. But are you missing out on other veggies at the market that are actually much better for you than your "regulars"?
I’m talking about a "misunderstood" subset of veggies that are packed with more nutrients and antioxidants than your standard fare. According to a study funded by the UK Food Standards Agency, these "Superior Foods" contain 53% more beta carotene… 38% more health-boosting flavonoids… more muscle-building protein… more potassium… and more of the elements needed to foster complete nutrition.
Discover which veggies you should be eating… And which ones you should avoid…

These are just small extracts from a vast array of information presented, so the main point of this post is to raise your awareness so stay on the look out for fresh, best, pesticide free or diminished veggies (katyzzz)

I am using the english spinach on the sandwiches - it's more of a lettuce leaf - we call the other spinach silver beet and I definately cook this one.
