Celery & Parsley- A cancer preventative, but also an anti-curative
Celery and parsley both contain the flavanoid apigenin, which Dutch researchers say may prevent Leukemia. Other research suggests that this flavinoid may also help in the prevention of other kinds of cancers.
But… this NewsMax Health Article warns AGAINST eating celery and parsley if you already have leukemia and are undergoing chemotherapy.
Apparently this flavinoid’s power to kill cancer cells is also powerful in fending off an “attack” from chemotherapy drugs. (After all, those drugs are a foreign substance.)
Other foods that contain apigenin are red wine and tomato sauce.
