Omg new research on bc spreading
Well people I know we are told a lot of foods we like may not be good for us and here’s another one.Drew my attention as only recently discovered the joy of fresh asparagus and did become a little keen - might need to rethink or try that moderation word.

- Probably all foods have it once its studied more.
I recently read a ridiculous article encouraging having concentrated asparagus...because if your urine stinks it's toxins leaving your body.
It sure is confusing. - I suppose I'm lucky that my tumour was 100% Estrogen positive as this research is concerning triple negative?
Asparagus is never going to taste the same again - and I already knew that french fries and potato chips weren't exactly good for me... - Omg @ Zoffiel French fries and potato chips are also a source of asparagine !
- Now they want to take away my asparagus? Out of my cold dead hands!
- Many thanks Romla that is very informative.
- There is a lot of science articles as well as newspaper coverage internationally today .Here is a more authoritative scientific article that may clarify further.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/02/180207140401.htm - It's not asparagus per se but asparagine, which is found in other foods too. It may have an effect on cell spread not the tumour itself. Moderation is certainly the key word, I'd be interested to know how much asparagine was in the diet of the mice!
- PS There is a lot online worldwide today about this discovery
