| ■ Chopping Before Cooking Cuts Carrot's Cancer-Fighting Power | 2009.06.23 |
| Carrots retain more of an anti-cancer compound if they're not cut up before they're cooked, say British researchers. Carrots that were chopped up before they were boiled contained 25 percent less of the anti-cancer compound falcarinol than carrots that were boiled whole, BBC News reported. The findings will be presented at a nutrition conference in France. |
