HERE ARE SOME OF THE BEST FRUITS FOR COMBATTING DISEASE........

* WATERMELLON, OUNCE FOR OUNCE, CONTAINS MORE OF THE CANCER-FIGHTING COMPOUND LYCOPENE THAN TOMATES.

* BLUEBERRIES HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ANTIOXIDANTS - ONE HALF CUP PROVIDES TWICE AS MANY ANTIOXIDANT NUTRIENTS AS MOST AMERICAN CONSUME IN A DAY.

* APPLES ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE OF ALL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AT REDUCING THE RISK OF LUNG CANCER, EMPHYSEMA AND CHRONIC BRONCHITIS



**** THE STRONGER AN ONION TASTES, THE BETTER IT IS FOR YOUR HEALTH. A NEW STUDY HAS FOUND THAT STRONG-FLAVORED RED AND YELLOW ONIONS ANS SHALLOTS TEND TO HAVE THE MOST FLAVONOIDS - ANTIOXIDANTS THAT HELP REDUCE RISK OF HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND SOME FORMS OF CANCER. TO MAXIMIZE INTAKE OF ANTIOXIDANTS, CHOOSE SHALLOTS AND RED AND YELLOW ONIONS, WHICH ARE RICH ON FLAVONOIDS. ****
