INCORPORATING GINGERBREAD

I know the holidays are long over, but here’s a reason you might still want to whip up some gingerbread.  Two recent studies showed that the compounds in ground ginger may help battle two major types of cancer in women.

In studies conducted at the University of Michigan and at Eulji University in South Korea, ground ginger caused ovarian cancer cells to attack themselves and die.  It’s not known exactly how much is needed to get the benefits, but incorporating ginger into your every day eating (like adding to vegetables and meat rubs) may be a good start.
