I'm recalling that more than half of Ameticans' vegetable consumption consists of just three things—iceberg lettuce, potatoes, and canned tomatoes—when Ene tells us laughing that "The first food from the garden the kids prepared was braised kale. The teachers pulled us aside and whispered, 'We think this garden is a great idea, but couldn't we just skip the kale?'" Anna and I laugh, too, thinking kale was sutely not the way to "seduce" children into the joys of garden-fresh food. "We were all nervous, but the kids loved it," Ene says. "The kale was just picked, so it wasn't bitter.

This is because when most Westerners eat a phytochemical-containing plant, it is usually in the form of a piece of fruit or a salad vegetable. It is not usually in the form of some type of legume (or bean). Yet, in countries where women suffer the least from symptoms of PMS and menopause, legumes are part of their staple diet. In the orient, this staple legume tends to be the soybean, and in Central and South America, this staple tends to be made up of more than one legume, including chickpeas and lentils.

Found in green leafy vegetables, shrimp, eggs, wheat germ, whole-grain cereal, nuts, and vegetable oils, vitamin E protects against heart disease, cutting premature heart attack rates by one-third. It may also prove valuable for shoring up our immune systems and combating Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, or breast cancer. I recommend 400 IU (international units) daily. • Vitamin C.

For fruits, one serving equals Vi cup of berries or a medium-size fruit; for veggies, one serving equals 1 cup of leafy greens or Vi cup of a nonleafy vegetable. Save room for five servings of whole grains a day. Whole grains supply slow-burning carbohydrates, which the body digests and metabolizes over many hours to release their energy. In contrast, carbs from refined grains such as white flour and white rice are processed much more quickly. This is bad news for the body's energy supply.

In contrast, com, safflower, and other vegetable oils high in omega-6 fatty acid promote the growth of cancers. In addition, researchers at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, had determined that diets high in trans fats are associated with significant increases in the risk of colon cancer. Given the fundamental roles of fatty acids in health, it would be prudent to avoid a synthetic fat that interferes with other fatty acids. Thus the ideal approach during cancer treatment might be to drastically reduce overall fat intake while emphasizing dietary fish and fish oil supplements.

Avoid dressings with soybean oil or hydrogenated vegetable oil. Two recommended salad dressings are Stonewall Kitchen Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette (www.stonewallkitchen. com) and Zeus Greek Salad Dressing (www.zeusfoods.com). Quick Chicken or Turkey Rice Soup (Serves 2) This soup is a creative, tasty, and adaptable use of leftover chicken or turkey, regardless of how it was originally prepared.

Vegetable shortenings and hard margarines are among the worst of such products, but you will find partially hydrogenated oils in salad dressings, nondairy creamers, bakery products, and many processed foods. It is always wise to carefully read the label of a food package. You are most likely to run into all of these pro-inflammatory oils in fast-food restaurants (McDonald's, Burger King, KFC), Chinese restaurants, and "low end" chain restaurants (Denny's and Carrow's), which rely heavily on processed, ready-to-heat foods.

A little garlic, olive oil, and lemon will enhance the flavor of almost any vegetable. The Anti-Inflammation Syndrome Step 5: Use Spices and Herbs to Flavor Foods For many people salt (sodium chloride) and black pepper are the usual flavor enhancers sprinkled onto foods. The Paleolithic diet contained large amounts of potassium and small amounts of naturally occurring sodium. With large amounts of salt added during the manufacture of food products (once again, carefully read package labels) and still more at the table, today's diets typically contain far more sodium than potassium.

Avoid conventional cooking oils such as corn, safflower, sunflower, and soybean oil, as well as vegetable shortening, margarine, and partially hydrogenated oils. 8. Identify and avoid food allergens. 9. Avoid or strictly limit your intake of food products that contain sugars, such as sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup. 10. Avoid or limit your intake of refined grains. 11. Limit your intake of dairy products. 12. Snack on nuts and seeds. 13. When thirsty, drink water. 14. Whenever possible, buy and eat organically raised foods. 15. To lose weight, reduce both carbohydrates and calories.

This provides a modest vegetable side dish for two people that goes well with Baked Salmon (page 81). Quantities can easily be doubled. Flavorful Brown Rice (Serves 2) Short-grain brown rice has a wonderful flavor, and at the table you can add a small amount of RealSalt or sea salt and butter to taste. 1 cup short-grain brown rice 1 cup chicken broth (or plain water) 1 cup bottled or filtered water Rinse the rice in a strainer, then put in a 2-quart saucepan. Add the broth and water (or simply water if you're not using broth).

By the way, pumpkin is not a vegetable; it's a fruit. Like melons, it's a member of the gourd family.) Moreover, it's inexpensive, available year round in canned form, incredibly easy to incorporate into recipes, high in fiber, and low in calories. All in all, pumpkin is a real nutrition superstar. Native Americans cherished the pumpkin and used both the flesh and the seeds as a dietary staple—the former as a reliable food, fresh roasted or dried, and the latter as medicine. By the second Thanksgiving, pumpkin had become one of the main attractions of the annual feast.

In fact, seventy years ago, before solvent-extracted vegetable oils and corn-based animal husbandry, people were not exposed to the high intake of omega-6 fatty acids we experience today. As one researcher said, "We may well be experiencing the 'linoleic acid paradox' in which a supposedly healthy fatty acid (i.e., one that lowers total cholesterol) is associated with increasing rates of cancer, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases during those same decades. Compounding and confounding this paradox are low intakes of ALA (plant-based omega-3 oils) and other omega-3 nsn oils.

Soft cheeses, chocolate bars, chips, cakes packaged in paper and cardboard, gravy granules, vegetable burger mix, vegetable fat, and sausages have been found to contain phthalates. Fifty-nine samples from fifteen various brands of baby milk, tested by the ministry in Britain, all revealed phthalates. A follow-up study in 1998 showed that the levels of phthalates were considerably lower than those in the 1996 study. Phthalates have been found in fruit juices and distilled water, leached from the plastic packaging.

These levels seem to decline as the vegetable ripens; however, a noticeable amount remains. Some edible nightshades have even been found with consistent amounts of nicotine, depending on how ripe they are. Solanine levels can increase dramatically if a potato is stored improperly (subjected to too much light and heat). At certain levels, glycoalkaloids can be toxic and cause gastrointestinal inflammation, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, and other symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization.
