 Part 2 Vegetables & Nuts
Vegetables, Grains, & Beans:
A. Consume one or more of the following daily:
1. Kale (Anti-Cancer) + Calcium + Iron
2. Spinach (Anti-Cancer) (Anti-Cancer) +
Calcium + Iron
3. Broccoli (Anti-Cancer) + Calcium + Iron
4. Cauliflower (Anti-Cancer)
5. White Mushrooms (Anti-Cancer)
B. Consume one or more of the following daily+* :
1. Black Eye Beans
2. Red Beans
3. Lentils
4. Soy Beans
5. Mung Beans
6. Garbanzo Beans
7. An other type of Beans
* “Gas” from consuming beans can be greatly
reduced or eliminated by simply soaking the dry
beans in water overnight with 1 tsp of baking
soda added to the water Or consuming 1/8 of tsp
of Asafoetida powder with an ounce of water just
before you eat the beans.
+
Don’t believe the dietitian who tells you that
diabetics should not eat beans. As long as beans
are cooked without sugar (molasses) or meat the
beans are the best sources of protein and other
healthy nutrients. The blood sugar raising effects
of carbohydrates in the beans are blocked by the
high fiber content of the beans. For example, if a
certain serving of carbohydrate contains 10 Gm
of “sugar” and that same serving of
carbohydrate contains 10 Gm of fiber, in effect
you would be consuming 0 carbs!! In other
words, 1 Gm of fiber cancels one Gram of
“Carb”
Avoid any diet that recommends high protein
or high fat/low carb diet to help you lose
weight. Such low-carb diets are dangerous
and can lead to “ketosis” bad breath and
even death.
C. Sprouts: Don’t consume Alfalfa Sprouts; Eat
Broccoli Sprouts instead.
D. Calcium: The best source of calcium are the
green leafy vegetables like Kale & Spinach.
E. Tomatoes: Tomatoes are good for prostate
health. But cooked tomatoes are much more
nutritious than raw tomatoes because cooking
releases 4 times more lycopenes from the
tomatoes.
F. Frozen Vegetables: Although fresh vegetables
are the best, frozen vegetables are an
acceptable alternative since frozen vegetables
only lose a very small percentage of nutrients.
G. Nuts: Although nuts are generally high in fat, a
handful of nuts consumed daily can:
1. Improve Cholesterol levels
2. Improve m ale sexual function
(Pistachios)
The best nuts in the order of benefit are:
1. Pecans
2. Walnuts
3. Hazel Nuts
4. Pistachios
5. Almonds
The least nutritious nut is the Pine nut.
H. Purple Cabbage is the best type of cabbage.
I. Purple Potatoes are the most nutritious.
J. Purple Tomatoes are the most nutritious.
K. Mushrooms:
Q. Are raw mushrooms good for me?
A. No. There is a toxin, agaritine in raw
mushrooms which is destroyed by
cooking. So eat a lot of cooked
mushrooms but not raw!! This is another
example of how wrong this idea is that
raw food is always better than cooked
food!!
Chantrell mushrooms are the most
nutritious follo w ed by w h ite
mushrooms. White mushrooms can
prevent cancer.
L. Hot Chili Peppers
Q. Are hot Chili Peppers harmful?
A. No. They are good for you.
M. Spirulina
Q. Is Spirulina good for me?
A. No! It contains contaminants which
can cause cancer!
N. Vegetables & Cancer:
Q. What vegetable should I consume to
decrease my chances of developing
cancers?
A. No one vegetable is good for
decreasing the risk of all cancers.
For example:
1. Radishes, are not effective against
pancreatic cancer, but are extremely
effective against stomach cancer.
2. On the other hand, orange bell
peppers are ineffective against
stomach cancer, but can cut prostate
cancer growth by more than 75%.
So we need to eat a variety of vegetables,
because each one tends to target different
cancers.
All the above data are based on peer-reviewed articles in
reputable medical journals.
An Amazing Fact: 85-90% of all chronic diseases can be
prevented or cured by pursuing a vegan diet (no animal product
of any kind) combined with daily exercise.
