orange food

Had the Dr. Oz show on in the background as I was doing some cleaning and kept hearing about the amazing cancer fighting properties of "orange foods." I happen to like pumpkin and sweet potatoes so I did a little jiggity-jig and listened up for some recipes.

Here's an easy one for spicy pumpkin soup that I'm going to try tonight. What would you serve to go with this?

Update: I made the soup last night. Verdict: OK. Suspect there are better recipes out there. Will keep tweaking it.

a cheesy surprise

Turns out eating certain hard cheeses such as gouda, edam, emmenthal and Jarlsburg, can lower the risk of developing cancer.

"...these cheeses contain a form of vitamin K called vitamin K2 (the scientific name is menaquinone) that is both antiangiogenic (blood vessel-inhibiting) and also kills cancer cells directly. The studies indicate that eating as few as 2 slices of these hard cheeses a day can lower your overall risk for cancer, including lung cancer and prostate cancer."
