Good dietary advice from a magazine!

I've just come across an article in November's Prima magazine (UK) that
looks to me like it contains and actually builds on Quentin's and Annette's
advice! Could you knowledgeable guys comment on it?

- eat boiled carrots with fat; you absorb 60-70% of the fat-soluble beta
carotene (immune system booster) as opposed to 2-3% when eaten raw without
fat.

- eat tomatoes with oil rich in Vit E (e.g. sunflower) to get lycopene from
the tomatoes and the Vit E working together to prevent cholesterol-clogged
arteries

- eat grilled tuna (selenium) and broccoli (sulphoraphane) - these
micronutrients together provide 13x cancer protection than when eaten
separately. Get selenium from brazil nuts and poultry too;
sulphoraphane-rich veggies include cabbage and watercress.

- eat poached salmon (Vit D) with calcium-rich youghurt to increase the
amount of calcium absorbed in the gut.

- eat cashew nuts (iron) with orange juice (Vit C) - the C helps vegetable
sources of iron pass through the gut wall more easily.

- eat raw spinach with avocado to increase the lutein uptake from the
spinach (protects against macular degeneration). Another good source is
green beans.

I've just found the credits, in about -6 pt in the corner of the page -
Angela Dowden, not one of their staff writers.

I was just blown away with the apparent quality of that advice!

Nicky.
