ANTI CANCER VEGETABLES: ADVICE FROM SALLY ERREY (NUTRITIONIST).

Veggies
Lots! But with some exceptions, the "above ground" type or portion. To absorb their carotenoids you'll need some oil with the veggie. Any amount; dark colored ones are best. Fresh & little processed [steamed] is preferred.Go easy on the rapidly absorbed starchy carbs from potatoes. The colored ones have many types of carotenoid [like vitamin A] & flavonoids [phytochemicals] that prevent all kinds of unhappy events (cancer, heart & vascular trouble, strokes, etc). Especially the "above-ground" portions of veggies has fiber, slow-release energy and no fat. Cabbage, broccoli & Brussels sprouts are anti-cancer. Garlic is heart-healthy.
5 to 10 portions of -fruits and veggies daily.
