B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, zinc and silica are especially

found in flaxseed oil, almonds and sunflower seeds. In addition
to those nutrients, at least 8 glasses of water per day are
required to keep hair healthy. Care tips for different types
of hair are presented. Article by Valerie Latona, Vegetarian
Times April, 1999.
Foods
That Fight Breast Cancer
There are many theories about what causes breast cancer. There
is medical evidence, for example, that some people inherit
a tendency to develop the disease, and some authorities cite
cancer-causing substances in the environment. There isn't
much we can do about heredity, and there isn't much we can
do single-handedly about the environment. But we do have choices,
for the latest research indicates that what you eat may help
to protect you from breast cancer or help you fight the disease.
