The Dangers of Celery: The Toxicity & Risks of Excess Celery Juice Consumption


Book Description

With the celery juice craze in full swing, and endorsed by a stream of eager celebrities, websites and online gurus, the hapless health consumer is unaware of the perils of eating celery in large quantities. This traditional medicinal herb only found its way to the dinner table in the 1820's. And now there are no less than 16 scientifically proven risks to its excess use. Toxic side-effects are happening, yet users are not aware of their true cause. Possibilities include: - Potentially fatal anaphylaxis (one of the world's top allergens).- Extreme sun sensitivity, resulting in burns or later skin cancers.- Miscarriages, male infertility and fetal abnormalities.- Suppressed detoxification of the liver and all cells in the body.- Incompatibility with hundreds of medical drugs.- A high source of heavy metals and pesticide contamination-Each issue with a full reference section of related scientific research.After outlining these dangers, the book examines the exaggerated claims, and debunks them one by one. A poor source of nutrition, the medicinal effects of celery and its active ingredients also belong to dozens of other plants, with far less associated risk. This is a cautionary tale that details the real difference between cure and symptomatic treatment, why food and medicine are two quite different things, and how to recognize accurate health claims vs misinformed or misleading ones.

Carcinogens and Anticarcinogens in the Human Diet


Book Description

Despite increasing knowledge of human nutrition, the dietary contribution to cancer remains a troubling question. Carcinogens and Anticarcinogens assembles the best available information on the magnitude of potential cancer riskâ€"and potential anticarcinogenic effectâ€"from naturally occurring chemicals compared with risk from synthetic chemical constituents. The committee draws important conclusions about diet and cancer, including the carcinogenic role of excess calories and fat, the anticarcinogenic benefit of fiber and other substances, and the impact of food additive regulation. The book offers recommendations for epidemiological and diet research. Carcinogens and Anticarcinogens provides a readable overview of issues and addresses critical questions: Does diet contribute to an appreciable proportion of human cancer? Are there significant interactions between carcinogens and anticarcinogens in the diet? The volume discusses the mechanisms of carcinogenic and anticarcinogenic properties and considers whether techniques used to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of synthetics can be used with naturally occurring chemicals. The committee provides criteria for prioritizing the vast number of substances that need to be tested. Carcinogens and Anticarcinogens clarifies the issues and sets the direction for further investigations into diet and cancer. This volume will be of interest to anyone involved in food and health issues: policymakers, regulators, researchers, nutrition professionals, and health advocates.
