Eating to Defeat Cancer

Good fortune has it that Mr. T (and I) have a good friend, Gerry Gehr, in the States who is an oncologue.  Gerry is a member of the Angiogenese Foundation which does research on preventing the vascularisation of cancer cells.  Their research has shown that in addition to specific medication, certain foods have these properties as well. A MUST watch, the Ted Talk on this subject:  the link can be found on their web site: http://www.eattodefeatcancer.org/
Naturally I've printed out their list of cancer-defeating foods and have been favoring them in our diet lately.  The site also features great recipes from several chefs with whom they are collaborating.
Saturday evening Alec and Virginie arrived to spend some time with us.  Virginie, my "belle-fille" (isn't that such a nice word?  so much more flattering than 'daughter-in-law'!) came equipped with a "mother" starter of kombucha.  (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha)  She showed me how to prepare the green tea and sugar infusion to feed the culture.  So now I have my own kombucha factory dividing away in the kitchen.  The culture smells somewhere between beer and vinegar.

Once the culture goes into production, I can add this beverage to my daily routine.

Last night, Virginie and Alec prepared our entire meal from The List.  Delicious!  She's a wonderfully creative cook, and Alec is great at grating!
As Adelle Davis once said "Let's eat right to keep fit".  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelle_Davis)


Amen and Bon Appétit!
