Citrus fights breast cancer.

I know there's at least one SP here who has dealt with this

disease, so I thought I'd post this. Men get breast cancer

too, so don't feel too smug guys.

 

Natural lemon extract is cytotoxic to breast cancer cells

 

If you're buying organic lemons, you can eat the peel too.

I read somewhere that the white of the rind has all kinds of

good shit in it.

 

Call me crazy, but I would save all lemon seeds, crush them,

let them soak in vodka in a warm dark place for a month, and then

drink the tincture. My uneducated guess is that limonoids are

alcohol (but not water) soluble. Is there cyanide shit in citrus

seeds like there is in apple and apricot seeds? If so, maybe that

isn't such a good idea. LOL

 

This also bolsters my belief that hummus is supremely healthy:

lemon, sesame, olive oil, chick pea, raw garlic....if made from organic

ingredients, it's so fucking healthy it's outtathisworld!

Due to the high price of lemons, we scan the "quick sale" racks for them. As soon as we get them home, I wash and zest them. Lemon zest can be kept in the freezer, but I also like to make up a little candied lemon zest to keep on hand. This can be used in everything from yogurt to veggie dishes to baked goods. I especially like to add it to anything with a cream or yogurt cheese filling, just to bump up the flavour a bit.

 

Then I squeeze the juice and pour it into ice cube bags to store in the freezer. The portions are usually perfect for recipes that call for lemon juice, such as mayonnaise.

 

I haven't figured out a better way to use what's leftover yet than the compost pile.

 

I'm not one who believes that any magic food will prevent cancer or keep us healthy. I believe we should eat a wide variety of food, and if anything, keep the commercially processed shit to a minimum. IT's amazing what some people will do to other people to make a buck.
