Over a thousand new chemicals, many of them carcinogenic, are developed each year by powerful corporations. We must speak out about the unacceptably high levels of pesticides in our fruits and vegetables, about the lack of pure water and air. I believe that every voice makes a difference. | | Intake of modified citrus pectin (MCP), a compound derived from citrus fruits, has been shown in animal tests to prevent the spread of prostate cancer. MCP appears to inhibit the binding abilities of cancer cells.14
SCREENING PROCEDURES
There is much controversy about the value of prostate cancer screening, appropriate staging evaluation, and the optimal treatment for each stage of the disease. The prostate-specific antigen test has become a common diagnostic measure recommended to all men past the age of forty and, as a result, more early-stage cancers have been detected. |
Robyn Landis
See book keywords and concepts |  To explain the difference between a food being nutritious and medicinal, let's look at an example. citrus fruits have long been considered to be nutritious in the traditional sense of the word, in part because they are high in vitamin C. Vitamin C is a nutrient that we need to stay healthy, and there are minimums established so that we do not become deficient in that nutrient. Citrus fruit also has carbohydrate value, carbohydrate being a macronutrient (like protein and fat), as opposed to a micronutrient (like vitamins and minerals) . | | Quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits and some other foods. It is very helpful for respiratory allergies both as a symptom treatment and as a preventive agent taken in advance of allergy season's onset. It is available in tablet or capsule form and can be taken in divided doses of 1 to 2 grams daily.
Mixed bioflavonoids may help too. Flavonoids are anti-inflammatory (inhibit histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins), antioxidant, immuno-stimulating, tissue regenerative, liver protective, and capillary strengthening (reducing their permeability). | | One good source is pith, the white part of citrus fruits (that thin membrane that usually shreds off when you peel it). Supplements are also available.
Acidophilus—The theory about why this works is that it assists bacteria in producing vitamin K in the intestine.
Bioflavonoids—The first bioflavonoid was called vitamin P for "permeability factor"; these blue and red pigments from fruits are needed along with vitamin C to prevent bleeding problems. Supplements of mixed bioflavonoids are available in the health-food store. Eating plenty of berries and grapes will help, too. |

These small citrus fruits seem to help those suffering from high blood pressure, if a couple of them are consumed each evening after dinner. Since kumquats are both sweet in their rinds and quite tart in their pulps, they appear to be an ideal snack food for obese subjects, satisfying both sweet and sour cravings at the same time.

Lemon Peel for Bleeding Gums
If your gums bleed quite a bit after brushing, then cut a small section of lemon peel from the fruit. Next turn it inside out so the white part is facing you. |

Kumquats are the smallest of all citrus fruits and have been cultivated in China and Japan for thousands of years. They are usually eaten skin and all, their rinds being quite sweet while the pulps are tart and juicy.
Lemons and limes originate from small evergreens with sharp, stiff thorns and originated in Asia a long time ago. |

Brief Description
Iceberg lettuce is so common that it really doesn't require any kind of a physical description to speak of. To the ancient Egyptians, however, at least one kind of romaine-type lettuce that grew on the island of Kos off the Turkish coast, held sexual symbolism. The long, stiff leaves were thought to resemble a man's sexual organ and the milky juice from them the semen emitted during ejaculation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Thus almost any food plant—and oats, flaxseed, soybeans, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, onions, broccoli, cabbage, sprouts, citrus fruits, cranberries, grapes, and tea are only the best-studied examples—seems to protect against disease in clinical studies. The nutrients and other plant chemicals that occur in greatest amounts in these foods become candidates for use as "magic bullets," but numerous other possibilities have barely been explored. Potentially protective components also have been isolated from fish, fermented dairy foods, and even beef. |
Stephanie Beling
See book keywords and concepts |  Terpenes in citrus fruits increase the production and activation of a protein that interrupts the undifferentiated, out-of-control growth of breast-cancer cells in rats. Phytosterols in whole grains, legumes, and soy quite literally compete with the estrogens that promote cancer; while they don't destroy these cancer-causing agents, they do deflect them from their path. Flavonoids in just about all fruits and vegetables—and in wine—block carcinogens' access to cells and suppress malignant changes in cells. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Limonene in citrus fruits, for example, is known to increase the production of enzymes that help the body dispose of potentially carcinogenic substances. Even the National Cancer Institute estimates that one in three cancer deaths are diet related and that eight of ten cancers have a nutritional component.
Phytochemicals have been actively used by pharmaceutical companies in making many of their products. According to a report in Business Week, 25 percent of modern pharmaceuticals are derived in some way from plants. |
Barnet Meltzer, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Therapeutic and Healing Powers: Like all citrus fruits, pineapples cleanse the bloodstream, strengthen the immune system, and boost the metabolism. They, too, loosen up the mucus created by colds, the flu, and upper respiratory infections. But the pineapple's active ingredient—its secret weapon—is bromelain: This miracle phytonutrient, the protein-digesting enzyme complex of the fruit, resembles the enzymes in the sap of fig and papaya trees. I mention this because the same way sap heals a tree, so, too, does bromelain heal the body. | | Therapeutic and Healing Powers: Like citrus fruits, the alkaline cantaloupe cleanses and thins the blood. As such, it works to prevent platelet aggregation, which keeps blood from clotting. For this reason, cantaloupes make excellent components of a diet geared toward treating phlebitis and heart arrhythmia and preventing stroke. In addition to purifying the blood, cantaloupes also help clear out any sludge in the lymph system. Fresh squeezed cantaloupe juices purges toxins from the liver, spleen, and sinuses. | | Optimal Use and Combining: Serve pineapple fresh with other citrus fruits. Pineapple with strawberry and banana, pineapple with pink grapefruit and banana, or pineapple with papaya and banana all make excellent fruit salads. (However, pineapple does not combine well with melons or grapes.) Give granola a jolt with pineapple chunks.

Even the skeptical National Cancer Institute recommends eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to help prevent cancer.
A Japanese researcher, T. Harayama, conducted a 10 year study of 265,118 subjects who answered questions about their dietary intake. |
Gale Maleskey
See book keywords and concepts |  Good food sources: Broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, chile peppers, citrus fruits, collard and turnip greens, guavas, kale, parsley, red and green bell peppers, and strawberries.
Cautions and possible side effects: Safe at a wide range of doses, although more than 1,000 milligrams a day can cause diarrhea; if this occurs, cut back until the diarrhea stops. If you're taking high doses, cut back to 100 milligrams at least three days before a physical exam or tests, as high amounts can interfere with some tests, including those for blood in the stool and sugar in urine. | | By 1601, some astute observers had noted that consuming citrus fruits prevented scurvy, a disease that wiped out countless crews of sailors who lived on salted meat and dried biscuits while at sea. It took two more centuries before British navy ships were required to carry rations of lime or lemon juice, and even then, the advocates of this practice had no idea why these tart fruits should help prevent the dreaded sailors' disease. It wasn't until more than 100 years later that vitamin C was finally isolated. | | He found that when combined with vitamin C in his animal studies, a substance in the rinds of citrus fruits, which he named citrin, helped strengthen the small blood vessels called capillaries. When he traced the active ingredients in citrin, Szent-Gyorgyi discovered a group of compounds that he named vitamin P, later to be called bioflavonoids.
Subsequently, doctors began using these compounds to treat various bleeding problems such as bruising. | | A third widely available bioflavonoid is hesperidin, derived from the rinds of oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits.
You'll also see supplements called proanthocyanidins, or PCOs, which are primarily from red wines and grapeseed extract. In the United States, Pycnogenol is a registered trademark name for a PCO from a different source—the bark of the French maritime pine tree.
Some bioflavonoid supplements contain both hesperidin and rutin. A combination of rutin and vitamin C is sold as vitamin C complex, says Michael Janson, M.D. | | Good food sources: Rinds of oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits; onions, kale, green beans, broccoli, endive, celery, cranberries, tomatoes, red bell peppers, apples, green and black tea, grapes, and red wine.
Cautions and possible side effects: Generally regarded as safe. in Medicine, based in Laguna Hills, California, and author of The Vitamin Revolution in Health Care. The combination makes sense because bioflavonoids and vitamin C work together to provide protection from free radicals, says Dr. Janson. | | Start by eliminating the top canker sore triggers from your diet, such as chocolate, nuts, tomatoes, green peppers, strawberries, and oranges and other citrus fruits. Try to avoid eating sharp-edged corn chips and pretzels, because they can irritate and injure the lining of your mouth and produce an ulcer.
After you've eliminated the troublemakers, you can reintroduce each of these foods into your diet one at a time every two to three days to determine which is the source of the trouble.
Canker sores can also be caused by food sensitivities to wheat products. |
Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra
See book keywords and concepts |  Common sources of vitamin C include bell peppers, broccoli, squash, cabbage, strawberries, lemons, kale, citrus fruits, currants, parsley, onions, radishes, rosehips, spinach, Swiss chard, tomatoes, turnip greens, and Brussels sprouts.
Once again, it is important for us to remember that oral contraceptives and corticosteroids may reduce the levels of vitamin C in the body. Alcohol is also an antagonist to vitamin C. Although vitamin C toxicity is rare, kidney stones could occur if vitamin C is taken in large doses and not accompanied by adequate hydration. | | Soluble fiber is found in specific fruits such as strawberries, peaches, apples, and citrus fruits. Berries and seeds are especially rich in soluble fiber.
FIBER HELPS PREVENT COLON CANCER
The physiological effects of dietary fiber begin with the first mouthful of food. High-fiber foods are "chewy." Chewing stimulates the flow of saliva and the secretion of gastric juices. Such prolonged chewing also gives the brain a message of satiety. |

ORANGES
Notable Personality Factors: Oranges have long been the icon of the citrus fruits. They promote alertness and confidence, increase energy levels, and invigorate. They brighten spirits, boost mental attitude, and bring hope. Fresh squeezed o.j. is an eye-opener. Oranges are also good for circulation?hence the daily glass of orange juice in the Sunrise Cleanse (See page 83). |
