Garlic & Breast Health

Garlic & Breast Health
Numerous studies over the years (more than 30 different studies to date) have documented the anti-cancer properties of garlic. The strongest evidence so far has focused on digestive cancers, but garlic appears to protect against all types of cancer, including breast and prostate. Scientists have isolated two active ingredients in garlic, allicin and allyl sulfur, and demonstrated that they prevent and fight cancer in both animals and humans; you can take garlic in supplement form but the capsules must be enteric-coated to protect these active ingredients. Add crushed, fresh garlic to your meals whenever possible.

Kale & Breast Cancer

Did you eat your kale today?

Kale, a green leafy vegetable, is considered to be anti-inflammatory. It belongs to the brassica/cruciferous family of vegetables, containing a compound called indole-3-carbinol. Research shows that this compound has the ability to change the way estrogen is metabolized. This information is important when discussing the relationship between high levels of estrogen and the breast cancer occurrence in some women.
