Cauliflower is a cruciferous family member that contains many of the same cancer-fighting, hormone-regulating compounds as its cousins, broccoli and cabbage. cauliflower is one of the least popular vegetables, but this doesn't make it less important. Researchers have found it helps women to break down estrogen and produce estrogen-byproducts in a safe way, slashing breast cancer risk by 40 percent. It also helps ward off colon cancers. | | It is known for its balancing effects on blood cholesterol. cauliflower and Brussels sprouts have similar benefits.
Bok choy, which is brimming with minerals, has been found to lower high blood pressure by 30 points or more. No need for expensive prescription drugs that ruin your liver, kidneys and digestive systems.

This extracurricular sleuthing led to the discovery of carotenoids in the cauliflower. Crane thought these could be the missing link. Returning to the beef hearts, he found a small amount of carotenoids as well as a yellowish substance that had different properties. He collected his material, stashed it in the lab's refrigerator, and continued studying the carotenoids.
"One day, I looked in the fridge," he recalls, "and there was this tube full of big yellow crystals. |

Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Eat a high-fiber diet that includes lots of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower. They contain a nutrient called indole 3 carbinol that helps the liver lower estrogen levels.
•Eat certain foods, such as miso and tempeh (from fermented soy)...ground flaxseed...and the herb chasteberry—take 40 drops of tincture or 180 to 240 milligrams in capsule form daily.
•Have your hormone levels tested by a naturopathic or holistic doctor—who will use a saliva test to determine whether you need additional hormone-balancing foods or supplements.

Devra Davis
See book keywords and concepts |  Women who eat diets high in cruciferae—vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and cabbage—produce less of the bad hormones and more of the good. Their immune systems appear to work better to fend off cancer. This may be one important reason why women and men in Asian nations tend to have four to five times less prostate and breast cancer than those in industrial countries, where fewer vegetables are regularly eaten.
Researchers are already putting these findings to use. |

Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Crucifers are strong-flavored vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale. Alliums include onions and garlic. Both classes of vegetables reduce chronic inflammation and lower the risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer. Eat at least one serving of each daily.
•Use only egg whites or unbroken egg yolks. The cholesterol in yolks has relatively little effect on cholesterol in the blood—but if the yolk is broken, the cholesterol is oxidized and produces inflammatory by-products. Poached or boiled whole eggs are fine. Avoid scrambled eggs and whole-egg omelettes. |

Cooked vegetables such as asparagus, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, okra, summer or winter squash, Swiss chard, green beans, peas, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, or other wholesome fresh vegetables. To make the vegetables more digestible and delicious-tasting, add spices and herbs such as turmeric, coriander, cumin, cardamom, fennel, basil, oregano and thyme.

Horseradish is a member of the distinguished Cruciferae family, the Medici of vegetables, whose relatives include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, rutabaga, and turnip. If you've read about any of the above vegetables in this book, you know that a significant body of research exists showing the health benefits and cancer-fighting properties of many of the compounds that have been isolated from this food family. |

Business Week magazine says there are now 402 cancer drugs in development, compared to 126 a decade ago. The American public is going to have these drugs literally shoved down their throat.
Reasons why chemotherapy doesn't work
Drug resistance produced by enzymes in the liver (cytochrome p450 enzymes). | | It is interesting to note that foods such as soybeans, turnips, cauliflower, rutabagas, cabbage, peaches, peanuts, mustard, broccoli and spinach contain substances called glyco-sinolates which interfere with the absorption of iodine and inhibit normal thyroid gland function. These foods are also reported to protect against cancer. Indole 3-carbinol, a type of glycosinate found commonly in cruciferous vegetables is reported to reduce cancer risk. [Journal Agriculture Food Chemistry 53:5164-9, 2005]
It is also reported that molecules in soy inhibit cancer. | | Monaldi Archives Chest Disease 59: 207-11, 2003] Cruciferous vegetables (Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower) produce a strong risk reduction for lung cancer. [Lancet 366: 1558-60, 2005]
But there is much more that can be done to prevent lung cancer beyond a healthy diet, as outlined below.
Vitamin D and lung cancer
Why are lung cancer researchers missing the obvious?
An article in the Washington Post reveals the blinders that cancer researchers wear. | | Diets high in cruciferous vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, and Brussels sprouts - are known to prevent cancer. Indole-3 carbinol was identified as the primary anti-cancer agent in these plant foods. However, there is no indole-3 carbinol in cruciferous vegetables. It is formed only when crushed such as in chewing or macerating foods. Once in the stomach, hydrochloric acid then converts indole-3-carbinol to diindolymethane, believed to be the most potent anti-cancer end product of metabolism after consumption of cruciferous vegetables.
How does indole-3 carbinol work? |

How to Cook Rice
In small amounts, colored varieties of rice make for a tasty and fairly healthy starch. If you're prediabetic, diabetic, or overweight, you must limit these rice varieties to small quantities.
As a general rule, we almost always avoid white rice, except on the occasions when we eat sushi. White rice is about as bland and boring as a food could be. |

Dr. G. | | Add the cauliflower "rice" and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to warm through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Turn off the heat and scoop 1 cup of the mixture into a food processor and pulse until creamy. Return this paste to the skillet and stir. Add a little hot water to adjust the consistency; the dish should be quite thick. Serve in bowls. Add Tabasco or other hot sauce.

The prostate gland contains the highest concentration of zinc of any organ in the body26 but inflamed prostates have one-tenth the zinc levels of normal prostates.27 Since men lose zinc in every seminal emission, it needs to be constantly replaced to avoid a deficiency. |
