As a yummy treat, strawberries are hard to beat, and perhaps Mother Nature made them that way to protect us from cancers. Strawberries, like all berries, contain strong antioxidants, which stop a natural process in the body that makes free radicals which cause cell damage. Some studies suggest that berries can also slow or stop cancers from spreading.

Strawberries have some of the highest concentration of antioxidants of any fruit, and the more antioxidants you can get into your body, the better. Strawberries are also a great source of vitamin C, which supports a healthy immune system and helps to maintain the collagen in your skin and joints, which can make you both look and feel younger.

Unfortunately, strawberries always end up on the dirty dozen list when it comes to pesticide contamination, and since they can be delicate, they can be difficult to wash without squashing. Always buy organic to avoid putting more toxins in your body.

    There is bacon out now with no artificial ingredients or nitrates. I’m starting to wonder about the research that goes into some of these articles.
