Gladly joined the group. You are totally on the right track.

Do you know of the book Foods That Fight Cancer? It’s written by Gingras and Beliveau, out of U. de Montreal in Canada. Though their focus is cancer, they have done a brilliant job of explaining complicated medical concepts in an understandable way. The 11 foods covered in that book, and the 13 covered in the cookbook sequel, are described in terms of their specific anti-cancer activity at the molecular level. It amazes me how much is actually scientifically documented regarding the activity of food in fighting disease.

@ Caroline,

Are they not great?? I love them too. I actually have to remind myself that I can eat a little more than I normally would and still do good for myself.

I haven’t seen frosting recipes either. I hadn’t thought of it, but now that you mention, it seems clear that there’s a need. In fact, healthy frosting would be a real bonus because of how tough those recipes are to find. Write Heidi a note and maybe she’ll start working on one !
