Watercress - the amazing new anti-cancer "drug"

I have to admit that watercress has never been a favorite of mine. I blame it on my childhood. My dad was a chef, and watercress only ever appeared as a garnish on the side of the plate. You weren't supposed to eat it, and the only time I tried, I wasn't at all impressed.

But it turns out I should have left the creamy sauces on the plate and munched on the garnish instead - according to an article published today. Apparently watercress has the amazing ability to "turn off" breast cancer - most likely it will work for other cancers as well, but the study was only focused on cancer of the breast.

Coincidentally, I recently did a post on my herb site about watercress, including some useful information you need to know before using it medicinally. For example, did you know that there are 3 types of watercress, and only one of them is worth eating from a health point of view? Shops might sell another kind, a hybrid plant (grows fast, which makes it cheap, but doesn't have the same constituents that make it do the job). To be sure of getting the type that will help fight cancer, you really need to grow your own - which isn't hard. See my article Watercress health benefits.
