I was watching FOX 5 News earlier this week and the topic of our course "Food and Cancer" was the highlight. The news reported that Dr. Joel Fuhrman is believed to have found a solution to combat cancer development. I was so excited to hear this on the news because that is what we as class have been focusing on each week. Dr. Joel Fuhrman came up with the acronym "GOMBS" to identify the essential foods that are effective in cancer prevention and overall having a healthy lifestyle.
G- Greens (Cruciferous vegetables, etc.)
O- Onions
M- Mushrooms
B- Berries
S- Seeds
Could his findings be the answer to the health problems in America, and solving the rise of cancer in our community and world? Take a look at the website posted and let me know what you think. He also has a book called "Eat to Live," and a new version of the My Pyramid known as the Nutritarian Pyramid. The base of his pyramid has Veggies being the core ingredients in our diet.
His books have recipes I think may be useful in the projects that we create.
We should research the food items the Harlem community residents are buying and see if they fall within the GOMBS list. More than likely the neighborhood bodegas are not carrying most of these items.
