The Most Bang for the Buck!

As a break from the ASBD meeting blogs, I offer this great article about prices of some of these cancer fighting foods.  This is a look at what a cup, or about one serving, of strawberries, pineapple, spinach, mustard greens and broccoli, cost.  The author is from Houston, so prices are probably close to Austin prices.  Read on at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_124083.html.


One cup of strawberries (with polyphenols that help reduce the risk of breast cancer) contains 46 calories and costs 89 cents, so says the Clare McKindley the author and dietitian at UT MD Anderson, Houston.


Each in servings of one cup:

• Pineapple: 82 calories and 70 cents
• Spinach: (raw or steamed) NO BUTTER 7 calories and 52 cents
• Mustard greens: cooked with out butter 21 calories and 81 cents
• Broccoli: 30 calories and 63 cents

Fresh is always best, so to the Farmer's Market today.

Together we can prevent 75,000 cancer cases each year!
