Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, onions and spring onions)

The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not enough, scientific proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought to reduce symptoms with antiinflammatory effect, sterilization and diabetes.

Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet system.

"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
