Kitchen Cabinet Cancer Fighters

By Kelley Herring

Most gourmands would agree with the old adage "Spice is nice." And now scientists do too. Inside your kitchen cabinet there are probably dozens of spices and herbs you should be using more liberally… and more often.

Rosemary is one of them.

Health Benefits of Rosemary
Recent research published in Oncology Reports found that rosemary has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage. What’s more, this piney spice showed strong cancer-fighting activity against leukemia and breast cancer cell lines.

Because rosemary is so effective at inhibiting oxidation, you may already have started to see it listed as a natural preservative (Vitiva) in some of your favorite foods. In the meantime, add this "herb of remembrance" to marinades, salad dressings, and teas to boost their flavor and antioxidant value.

Testimonials

Please extend my sincere thanks to your entire group for a very dynamic and lively conference at the Marriott. I was overwhelmed by the incredible talents and real genius qualities of the speakers and the faculty at ETR’s Bootcamp.

"I thought all the geniuses were in Science and Medicine. After the conference, my narrow focus has expanded to the mind-boggling aspects of Internet Marketing.

"Alex Mandossian blew my mind with his ability to ‘connect’ with everyone, express a genuine, sincere interest, maintain a high level of energy, and share an incredibly genius entrance into the world of Internet Marketing. His extraordinary talent is enhanced by his ‘down to earth’ sentiments and personality.

"Brian Edmondson, another genius talent, impressed me with a purity of intent that is hard to find among the ‘Gurus.’ (My daughters are both married. I wish I had another one for him!)

"I don’t mean to single out these two speakers. They were all excellent and did everything possible to deliver accurate and usable information. I thoroughly enjoyed them all."
