Smoker's Cuisine

[ACMCC]

Heard an interesting piece on the radio today, (from a scientist boffin) if you cook your carrot's whole without cutting them, they are 25% better at reducing the risk of cancer! I didn't know carrot's had any special anti cancer element's anyway so was interested. (you can cut them after cooking - to eat them)

So what other food's have anti cancer abilities.....
we can make an entire menu which should virtually guarantee we can smoke as many cigars as we wish...

Red wine... (I think)

They also recommend a 'roll cut' I heard.

Sweet potato is a winner too I believe.

Cooked tomatoes (not raw) have huge amounts of lycopene which is thought to be a potent anti-cancer chemical. Best served in an oily base eg sauce as the oil increases the amount of lycopene that gets into the bloodstream from the gut

Broccoli (urgh) is thought to be what is called a super-food in that it has no bad effects on the body and only good..

I take a slow-release Vit C capsule every day as Vit C is thought to 'mop up' cancer causing free radicals ie compounds produced in the body thought to cause mutations at a cellular level thus causing cancers

My own personal philosophy is that 3 small Cs will beat the big C...

Chilli, Chocolate and Cigars

Hmmm.. I wonder why i failed medical school?!

apricot seeds!
supposedly people in Nepal that live off apricots don't get cancer or something like that and some people say the stuff in apricot seeds (laetrile) can be used to treat cancer.

Lots of sex can inhibit cancer. All natural juice from the body!
My brotherinlaw has stage 4 cancer and they gave him 2 weeks to live that was 1 + years ago. Lots of raw carrot,celery and beet juice run through his juicer as many times a day as possible. His friend told him about this cause he battled cancer 10 + years earlier. Still alive and doing well. A little orange but alive.

maybe the increase in cancer is due to the change in modern diet, because to be honest I don't like any of the suggested foods so far! me brother in the states has a vegetable smothie every day but it looks like, smells like and taste like utter crap, lol. I may slug a couple back next week to get a some of the goodness in my system. (good luck to your brother in-law)

Not well up on this subject, my wife does that side of things as she is a nutritionalist as part of her job.
I still count a chocolate orange as part of my 5 a day.
