Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, chives and green onion)

The onion, leek and garlic family is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is as yet, not enough definitive proof present, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce the symptoms of colds, arteriosclerosis and insomnia.

Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your diet.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
