DNA-damaging chemicals formed when meat is cooked stimulate breast cancer cells almost as much as pure estrogen and can infiltrate the ducts where most breast cancers arise.

Plant-based diets may be effective for the treatment of fibromyalgia, a painful condition suffered by millions.

Apple peels appear to upregulate the tumor suppressor gene maspin and have strong antiproliferative effects on breast and prostate cancer cell growth in vitro.

Why the spike in antioxidant levels in our bloodstream after drinking apple juice might not be a good thing.

Meat and sugar increase uric acid levels, which are associated with increased risk of gout, hypertension (high blood pressure), obesity, prediabetes, diabetes, kidney disease and cardiovascular..

Human beings lost the ability to detoxify uric acid millions of years ago. What implications does this have for our health today?
