Eat That Mint

MINT: it helps keep you in mint condition

Mint is a 'Cancer Crusader'. It contains limonene, a powerful anti-cancer agent
that studies suggest can block the development of cancer cells and also can shrink them. (~ Ritva Butrum, Ph. D., vice president of research at the American Institute for Cancer Research in Washington, D.C.) Limonene hinders cancer cells from utilizing a protein that they need
to survive.

Mint also packs another cancer fighter - luteolin, which
may inhibit the production of inflammatory compounds linked with the development of cancer.

Dr. Butrum also says, "Our best insurance is eating a wide variety of plant-based foods, including herbs such as mint."
