 The next ingredient we have is organic broccoli sprouts. This is an exciting ingredient and it is perhaps best known for its anti-cancer effects. broccoli contains a complement of chemicals that have a well-documented anti-tumor effect in the human body. If you want to shrink breast tumors or prostate cancer tumors or generally boost immune system function, eating broccoli sprouts is simply one of the best ways. I've often said that if broccoli sprouts could be patented and sold as a prescription drug, they would charge you at least $100 per serving just to get those chemicals into your body. |

 For example, in broccoli, there's a chemical called sulforaphane, and it clearly activates stress response pathways in cells that upregulate antioxidant enzymes. broccoli has antioxidants, but at the level you could get from your diet, they're not going to function as antioxidants."
Just as with the nuclear shipyard workers, a mild toxin generates an adaptive stress response that bolsters cells. It's the same process generated by dietary restriction and exercise. |

 But the biochemists had their answer: 'You can't do a trial on broccoli.' "
So the nutrients won out over the foods. The panel's resort to scientific reductionism had the considerable virtue of being both politically expedient (in the case of meat and dairy) and, to these scientific heirs of Justus von Liebig, intellectually sympathetic. With each of its chapters focused on a single nutrient, the final draft of the National Academy of Sciences report, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer, framed its recommendations in terms of saturated fats and antioxidants rather than beef and broccoli. |

 Let's start with broccoli. Get some raw broccoli in your body. broccoli sprouts are potent anticancer foods. Let's talk about some nutrition supplements -- selenium, zinc and modified citrus pectin for prostate cancer, for example. Vitamin D is a potent moderator of cancer tumor cell growth, so if you get enough vitamin D in your body, you're going to prevent and even help reverse prostate, cervical and breast cancers. The way you get vitamin D is to get some sunshine on your skin. This is not rocket science, folks. Doctors try to make it sound complicated, but it isn't. |

 Herbal product companies have been censored to such a degree that none dare tell the truth about the anti-cancer effects of their own products, and even broccoli growers and marketers are scared into remaining silent about the remarkable, scientifically-proven anti-cancer effects of broccoli.
In other words, if you want to know what the cancer industry supports or attacks, just check to see which list it's on. If it's on the list of things that prevent cancer, the cancer industry (including most of its doctors, oncologists, non-profits and government regulators) will be against it. |

 In other words, eating raw broccoli provides you with natural anti-cancer medicine that's extremely effective at halting the growth of cancer tumors. But microwaving that broccoli destroys the anti-cancer nutrients, rendering the food "dead" and nutritionally depleted. There's even some evidence to suggest that microwaving destroys the natural harmony in water molecules, creating an energetic pattern of chaos in the water found in all foods. |

 Broccoli is one of the most powerful anti-cancer foods out there, and garlic even tops broccoli. If you eat garlic and broccoli both in their raw state, you are consuming one of the most powerful anti-cancer combinations known to mankind and nature. Those don't damage healthy cells, but they do in fact target cancer cells. In other words, these simple, everyday foods at the grocery store have a technology more sophisticated and more effective than the most highly hyped anticancer prescription drug ever invented by the pharmaceutical industry. |

 If elected, Ron Paul would work to restore genuine health freedom in this country, giving consumers access to accurate, scientifically-validated information about how cherries can ease arthritis inflammation, for example, or how pomegranates can prevent prostate cancer, or how broccoli sprouts can prevent breast cancer. There are thousands of healing medicines in plant (herbs, foods, superfoods, etc.), and the public currently isn't being allowed to know about any of their benefits. |

 For example, broccoli may contain trace levels of arsenic, a widely distributed natural contaminant. broccoli also contains chlorogenic and neochlorogenic acids; both are metabolized to caffeic acid, which is found in broccoli at concentrations up to 10 mg/kg. Anticarcinogenic substances found in broccoli include ascorbic acid, indole and other isothiocyanates, and sulfora-phane.
Assessing dietary cancer risks requires consideration of both these types of agents, carcinogenic and anticarcinogenic. Ames et al. |

| Eating in season also tends to diversify your diet—because you can't buy strawberries or broccoli or potatoes twelve months of the year, you'll find yourself experimenting with other foods when they come into the market. The CSA box does an even better job of forcing you out of your dietary rut because you'll find things in your weekly allotment that you would never buy on your own. Whether it's a rutabaga or an unfamiliar winter squash, the CSA box's contents invariably send you to your cookbooks to figure out what in the world to do with them. |
| With each of its chapters focused on a single nutrient, the final draft of the National Academy of Sciences report, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer, framed its recommendations in terms of saturated fats and antioxidants rather than beef and broccoli.
In doing so, the 1982 National Academy of Sciences report helped codify the official new dietary language, the one we all still speak. |

 Simply selling dried broccoli sprouts as being "good anti-cancer foods" may land you in prison, and running a vitamin shop could result in you being arrested for "practicing medicine."
Imagine a nation where Whole Foods stores are stripped of all herbs and supplements, where vitamin shops are emptied and abandoned, where books that promote herbs are bulldozed into large piles and burned, where natural healers are rounded up and "disappeared" into incarceration centers. This is the future that will become reality if the FDA has its way. The plan has been explained to us in plain language. |

| Matters got even sketchier in the second section of the survey, when I was asked to specify how many times in the last three months I'd eaten a half-cup serving of broccoli, among a dizzying array of other fruits and vegetables I was asked to tally for the dietary quarter. I'm not sure Marcel Proust himself could recall his dietary intake over the last ninety days with the sort of precision demanded by the FFQ.
When you get to the meat section, the portion sizes specified haven't been seen in America since the Hoover administration. |
| Half of all the broccoli grown commercially in America today is a single variety—Marathon—notable for its high yield. The overwhelming majority of the chickens raised for meat in America are the same hybrid, the Cornish cross; more than 99 percent of the turkeys are Broad-Breasted Whites.
With the rise of industrial agriculture, vast monocultures of a tiny group of plants, most of them cereal grains, have replaced the diversified farms that used to feed us. |

| They include things like eating more broccoli and garlic, getting more natural sunlight on your skin (to generate the anti-cancer nutrient Vitamin D, which has recently been shown to prevent an astonishing 77 percent of ALL cancers!) and avoiding cancer-causing chemicals in manufactured foods (such as sodium nitrite, found in bacon, sausage and virtually all packaged meats). A more detailed list is offered below.

| But microwaving that broccoli destroys the anti-cancer nutrients, rendering the food "dead" and nutritionally depleted. There's even some evidence to suggest that microwaving destroys the natural harmony in water molecules, creating an energetic pattern of chaos in the water found in all foods. In fact, the common term of "nuking" your food is coincidentally appropriate: Using a microwave is a bit like dropping a nuclear bomb on your food, then eating the fallout. (You don't actually get radiation from eating microwaved foods, however. But you don't get much nutrition, either. |

 Why is it illegal for nutritional supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about the anti-cancer effects of their products? broccoli, garlic, onions and sprouts all have powerful anti-cancer effects, as do dozens of rainforest herbs (Cat's Claw, for example), Chinese herbs and Western herbs. But the FDA threatens and censors any company that dares to mention cancer prevention on its supplement products. Why is the FDA enforcing a policy of nutritional ignorance with U.S. consumers? Why does the federal government want people to remain ignorant of methods for preventing or treating cancer? |
