VEGETABLES SAVE LIVES IN NUMEROUS WAYS

Copley News Service notes that "The same plant-rich diet that helps prevent cancer, it has been shown, also will limit your chances of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, [dietician Kim] Dalzell said. And it's also healthy for children." Not a lot of new news here, but one interesting study result: "When men in the Cancer Treatment study ate more broccoli and cauliflower -- three servings versus one -- they lowered their risk of prostate cancer by 41 percent."
