Onions and Garlic … "Powerful" in More Ways Than One

By Jon Herring (excerpt)
....
The allium plants - particularly onions, shallots, and garlic - have
been used as food and medicine for thousands of years. And modern
science has confirmed that these pungent vegetables are some of the
most medicinally potent foods we can eat. Hundreds of population and
laboratory studies have shown that they have strong anti-bacterial,
anti-viral, and immune-boosting qualities.

Onions, shallots, and garlic have also been shown to reduce
inflammation, lower cholesterol, and normalize blood pressure. And a
large Italian study, recently published in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, shows a strong inverse correlation between onion
and garlic consumption and cancers of the mouth, esophagus, breast,
ovaries, kidneys, and prostate. ....

Bad Fish, Good Fish

By Kelley Herring

Choosing wild-caught fish over farmed can help you avoid harmful
endocrine disruptors called polychlorinated biphenyls. But that's not
the only reason to stock up on wild-caught fish.

Farm-raised tilapia, one of the most popular food fish in America, has
very low levels of healthy omega-3s and very high levels of
inflammatory omega-6s, according to new research from Wake Forest
University School of Medicine. The researchers say that the amount of
detrimental omega-6 fatty acids - and, therefore, inflammatory
potential - of tilapia is greater than that of 80-percent-lean beef,
doughnuts, and even pork bacon! As for omega-3 content, tilapia
contains less than half a gram per 100 grams of fish, compared with
3-4 grams in wild salmon.

So how does tilapia get so high in omega-6s? The same way conventional
beef does: Both the tilapia and the cattle are fed corn.

When it comes to fish, forgo farmed. Stick with omega-3-rich fish like
wild Alaskan salmon and halibut, as well as sardines, for clean, eco-
friendly, anti-inflammatory meals with net benefits.
