Eat your Celery Most cells in the body die over time in a process called cell apoptosis. Cancer cells, however, are resistant to this cell death, which is why they thrive. However, there is now exciting new evidence from Ohio State University that compounds in certain plants may “re-educate” the cancer cells to die in the normal cycle. The compound, called apigenin, is found commonly in celery, parsley and chamomile tea, and in many other fruits and vegetables. Apigenin also binds with 160 proteins, creating a complex healing process that is anti-inflammatory, whereas a pharmaceutical drug targets just one molecule, the researchers say. Worth adding it to your soups or smoothies as I dont like it raw either but I can hide the taste in smoothie and soups. A nice detox smoothie ( that also tastes well ) is 1 stick of celery, 1 carrot, 1 apple(not peeled) , 1/4 inch of ginger peeled and water Chop up veg. and fruit and put in a blender with ginger and some water. great for detoxing or taking in the coming weeks before we all break out for Christmas.
