LONG BEACH, California (AFP) – Cabernet and chocolate are potent medicine for killing cancer, according to research presented here Wednesday.

Red grapes and dark chocolate join blueberries, garlic, soy, and teas as ingredients that starve cancer while feeding bodies, Angiogenesis Foundation head William Li said at a prestigious TED Conference.

"We are rating foods based on their cancer-fighting qualities," Li said. "What we eat is really our chemotherapy three times a day."

The Massachusetts-based foundation is identifying foods containing chemicals that evidently choke-off blood supplies to tumors, starving them to death.

It WAS my browser (Firefox), but it worked fine with Chrome...hmmm.

Not that anything with browsers is odd, but...that’s odd. I’m using Firefox 3.6.

Yep, we are having a Valentine's dinner at church tonight, weather moving in. And hubby and I will go out to eat Fri or Sat for our Valentine's treat...we don't do the gift thingy, just cards and dinner....Olive Garden usually.

I like Asti Spumati (sp?) as my wine of choice, but prefer scotch and water.
