- wildfire, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Does pumpkin or blueberry beer count?
- Easty, on 10/10/2007, -5/+25Buried because next week's scientific studies will say they're bad for you.
- McTendo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15You don't win friends with salad.
- S1L3NTC, on 10/10/2007, -6/+20Bacon smoothies were not on the list.
Buried as inaccurate. - orlyfactor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Including that pesky short-term memory!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9You hate blueberries? I don't see how anyone could hate blueberries
I don't mind pumpkin, but I grow butternut squash instead and even use it for my thanksgiving pumpkin pie, it comes out tasting better using butternut.
Steamed broccoli isn't too bad, tomato products are everywhere, and spinich is easy -- one way to get it is to replace the iceberg lettuce with spinach in your sandwich next time you go to subway. - virtueandwine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I really appreciate that they provided a close-up view of the broccoli.
- Grumps, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Menu of the day.
Garden salad (With broccolis and Spinach)
Blueberry Pie
Grilled fish
(Keep the pumpkin for halloween) - qwickone, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I love everything on that list expect fish (I'm a vegetarian). If there's anything on there that you don't like, I think you just haven't had it prepared right. Especially if you've only had those things prepared in an "American" way. Go to any Mediterranean restaurant and order any of those veggies and you're in for a treat. Spices make all the difference. I think the American preparation of most veggies would make anyone hate them.
- Aidanjalali, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6This article looks like it's been proof-read by a dog.
- LandStander, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6WTF? Are you 5 years old? Mommy wants you to eat your veggies for a reason. I've switched to spinach on my sandwiches. You could make up a stir fry with the broccoli and I could devour an entire carton of blueberries like nothing.
- kingdedede, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Tomatoes: "Another reason to eat pizza"
Dugg! - degoba, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Hmm. Now at least I can justify eating sushi 3 times a week.
- MDrake, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Pomegranate is pretty awesome as well.
- Kinkistyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Read the article. It recommends simple everyday foods as OPPOSED TO esoteric health fads like goji and noni.
- allaboutdatiki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Celestial Seasonings Gojiberry Pomegranate Green Tea ... the triple play!
- artofwar420, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Watch out for that mercury.
- Devrdander, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Uhm RTFA, they recommend broccoli pumpkin blueberries fish spinach and tomatoes
"Simplify your life-and boost your health-with these basic foods that really work You can nibble on goji berries, whip up noni juice smoothies and stock your shelves with antioxidants. But if you're looking for what really works for optimal health and disease prevention, the best approach is to focus on foods that are rich in disease-fighting phytochemicals." - WarpFox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Peppers are awesome, check it out:
http://www.anotherchan.org/src/1175857436444.jpg - Arcnite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2At a glance:
1. Broccoli
"... few foods measure up to broccoli for cancer- fighting potential. Broccoli is rich in sulforaphane, an antioxidant linked with a reduced risk of a number of cancers, especially lung, stomach, colon and rectal cancers..".
2. Pumpkin
"..one of the best sources of carotenoids, antioxidants that reduce the risk of cancer. Like sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash and other orange-red vegetables, pumpkin is rich in disease-preventive beta-carotene..."
3. Blueberries
"...rich in amhocyanidins, compounds that help protect the heart, and may inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Studies suggest the blueberry anthocyanidins protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and can slow and even reverse age-related memory loss and decline in cognitive function..."
4. Fish
"... Salmon and other fatty fish-like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines and tuna- are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke, and may cut your risk of death from coronary artery disease in half. Omega-3 fats also have immune-enhancing and anti-inflammatory effects, reduce the risk of prostate and colon cancers, and ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and some psychiatric disorders..."
5. Spinach
"...Boost your vision and protect against cancer with spinach, one of iln- richest dietary sources of an anlioxidant called lutein. Lutein helps protect against heart disease and some cancers, and has been shown to reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Spinach is also rich in beta-carotene, which may protect against cancer. Other lutein-rich foods include kale, collard greens, chard and beet greens..."
6. Tomatoes
"...loaded with lycopene, an antioxidant that reduces the risk of prostate, breast, lung and other cancers, and has heart-protective effects..." - t0ken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2How do you hate blueberries? And don't you want to be like Popeye?
- t0ken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"...content. And they've been used for years, with m no drawbacks, side effects or toxicity; you're never going to see a headline that blucherries are had for you."
I hope nobody is "having" blucherries for me... - The_Dude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Uh yeah, you're not going to win Top Chef with that one dude.
- JoeBlotto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I couldn't even bear to read past the introduction.
- AltOpt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This review says little evidence for tomatoes.
http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/99/14/1074 - JJVH, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hell yeah, I had some this morning. So good.
- kamiller, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Chia seeds are very good as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_hispanica
- philbrewer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"you're never going to see a headline that blucherries are had for you."
c'mon. spell check mofo. - viviwanu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Pizza and beers too!
- inactive, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1Strawberries are a great source for healthy living and mixing them in a smoothie is a good idea. Here is a great selection: http://www.smoothieweb.com/category/strawberry-smo ...
- ADVIZR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm not sure if you're just making a joke. On the off chance it's not or someone takes you seriously, just know that that's not true. The amount of mercury in a basic mercury thermometer for humans, is around 0.5 to 1.5 grams, according to various sites. That's an order of magnitude of ~million that of the EPA max/safe level per day for an adult. As an example via http://www.gotmercury.org/ , just 6 oz tuna at 0.353 ppm reaches the max for a 180 pound person for *an entire week*. If you were to get 0.5 *grams* like in a thermometer, you'll die. Also, that little amount is enough to contaminate vast portions of fish/lake, which is why the proper disposal of old thermometers like that is so crucial.
- ISIfunded911, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The max for a week number is too often a magic figure low enough not to annoy fishermen, corporations, water utilities,...
And they do not take into account the cumulative effect of all the dangerous substances we absorb.
The truth lies in the increasing number of cancers...not only in old people, in children too.
Don't forget: we survive in the Society of the Spectacle (Guy Debord). - brada33928, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1is that tea any good? actually drinkable? I tried drinking pomegranate juice and got a horrible stomach ache.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The fat lady ate them.
- Devrdander, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yes
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Broccoli: Close tab
- artofwar420, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, that ***** about remembering where you parked gets annoying, spice up your life!
- icantdothatdave, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Milk is full of calcium, but dairy products actually absorb more calcium out of your body as they pass through than the body absorbs from the dairy product. Haven't you ever wondered why there is such a high rate of osteoporosis in America, the country with the highest dairy consumption? The best source of calcium that is actually absorbed into your bones is green vegetables.

"Top Antioxidant Foods", Discovery of the Ultimate Superfood by Gary Young ND, Ronald Lawrence MD, PhD, Marc Schreuder, Essential Science Publishing, July 2005, p48 - WorldBuilder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"You wanna prevent cancer? Get yourself a *****' bowl of broccoli!"
-- George Carlin - Herostratus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2This is great. I have this one dish I like to make a lot (in fact I made it tuesday and finished the leftovers last night), and it has 2 of the superfoods in it. Essentially its spaghetti with tomato sauce (which I made from concentrate) and a can of spinach (and mushrooms sometimes). Mix all the ingredients once they are all prepared and you find yourself with an odd looking concoction. Don't be put off. It tastes great. I think I might make it again tonight. Maybe with fresh ingredients too to give it that extra nutrient content.
- greydream, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Broccoli and spinach are good for you? Who knew?!

- dorshorst, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Do you know that the average fish contains as much mercury as a rectal thermometer?
Would you eat a rectal thermometer? - cepiloth, on 12/28/2008, -0/+0best antioxidant drinks are maqui, as far as i know ^^
