I was driven to find out how my food choices could impact my outcomes and that’s when I discovered, among other things, the power of phytochemicals found only in plant foods. A NCI sponsored study was all I needed. Led by the late Herb Pierson, they observed phytochemicals found in foods that have been the basis of folkloric recipes for millennia. They found that the phytochemicals prevented clots, prevented the expression of cancer, prevented osteoporosis and a host of other things.
