The Greens are Always Greener

by Lawrence La Raia
Posted on Oct 14, 2006

The Ashland Daily Tidings must have dropped in and seen my request for some different greens to replace the scary spinach. Collared greens, Swiss chard, arugala, watercress, kale, and a few others are all mentioned in the article.

Watercress and kale, in particular, along with brussel sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables, may help prevent breast cancer. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which naturally occurs in these vegetables, when combined chemotherapy drugs killed tumour cells in studies conducted by the University of Leicester.
