Research by doctors at the United States Department of Agriculture has shown that cancer-fighting vegetables have shown their true color - dark green! Dark green vegetables such as kale, broccoli, green beans, spinach are some of the best. Analysis found that kale, has the highest concentrations of three important carotenoids, important in protecting us from most cancers. When they boiled, steamed, and microwaved broccoli, green beans, or spinach the protective carotenoids did not diminish! Dr. Frederick Khachik stated, "It's unlikely heat destroys the carotenoids in other green vegetables either."
