Mixed Mushroom Mélange
This simple dish is low in calories but high in cancer-fighting nutrients. A recent study published in the Journal of Complementary Medicine proves it. It found that compounds in shiitake mushrooms destroyed both malignant breast cancer and myeloma cells. Researchers found that the compound in shiitake mushrooms caused “cell suicide” in 50 percent of these tumors. This mushroom medley works great as a topping for your favorite organic meats or serve alongside a salad.
