Week of November 16-22
This week we celebrate Brussels sprouts. Looking like miniature cabbages, Brussels sprouts are members of the cruciferous family of vegetables and are closely related to cabbage as well as kale, collard greens, and broccoli. Enjoy them now while they are the least expensive and have the best flavor.

What Readers are saying this week:
It is hard for me to express how much I value your foundation's website. Your website has given me a new attitude about foods. One benefit I've discovered from eating high fiber, nutrient rich foods is that I'm losing about 2 lbs/week without any change in my exercise habits. In about a year I should be down to my optimal weight. Maybe by then my high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes will have also improved. I am optimistic that this will happen, now that I know how to help my body heal with food. Thank you again for your outstanding website. Eating the right foods has changed my entire outlook on life. - Mike

How to Cook Without Destroying Vitamins, Minerals, and Antioxidants
Did you know that traditional methods for cooking vegetables can lose from 50-80% of their nutritional value? Traditional cooking methods such as boiling can deplete water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, as well as flavonoid phytonutrients. When I discovered that 88% of the folic acid in carrots and 66% of the flavonoids in carrots and broccoli are destroyed through boiling for extended periods of time, I knew how important it was to develop alternative Healthiest Way of Cooking methods that you will find in the World's Healthiest Foods book, which will help retain the maximum nutritional value found in these health-promoting foods.
Q&A from our new book:
What are cold pressed oils?
From Satisfied Book Readers:
I'd like you to know that your book has really redirected my ideas on food selection. The clarity of your book makes me wonder why I had issues before with consistently eating healthy. However, I'm branching out and trying new things. - CC
