Indole-3-Carbinol: The powerful anticancer agent in cruciferous vegetables
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a bioactive compound derived from glucobrassicin in cruciferous vegetables. It is formed when crucifers are chopped, chewed or cooked. I3C is said to modulate estrogen metabolism, potentially reducing hormone-related cancers (e.g., breast, prostate). I3C activates pathways like Nrf2 to combat oxidative stress and inflammation. It also supports the activities of liver detox […]

CDC quietly scales back surveillance initiative for food safety

Artificial sweetener aspartame linked to increased stroke risk, study finds
A 2025 study in Scientific Reports found that aspartame — used in Diet Coke, sugar-free gum and medications — increases stroke risk by damaging blood vessel function, triggering inflammation and weakening the blood-brain barrier. Aspartame disrupts genes regulating blood pressure and inflammation, worsening stroke severity. Even low-dose, long-term consumption (e.g., daily diet soda) may gradually harm […]

These are industrially formulated foods (e.g., fast food, soda, candy) designed for long shelf life and profit, often lacking nutrients and packed with artificial ingredients. Kids aged six to […]

Plant-based diets linked to dramatic drop in cancer risk — but is it really that simple?
A study of 80,000 Seventh-day Adventists found vegans had a 25 percent lower overall cancer risk, with even greater reductions for stomach (45 percent), lymphoma (25 percent) and colorectal cancers (21 percent). Vegetarians saw a 12 percent lower risk compared to meat-eaters. While the study adjusted for smoking and alcohol, skeptics note that vegans’ healthier […]
