The right raw materials can... double or triple the protective power of the immune system.

Three of the most beneficial, longevity promoting anti-cancer foods are green vegetables, beans, and onions.

The American diet causes disease. It is composed of 25 percent animal products and 62 percent processed foods and only 5 percent of calories from fruits and vegetables.
