Being from Maine, I'm always happy to see blueberries on lists of "good stuff" (for cancer or otherwise). And for Pat and other chocolate lovers: I've seen chocolate covered blueberries lately in specialty food stores. I've tasted them and they are yummy.

P.S. Where does the "sugar feeds cancer" idea come from? I've seen that mentioned in another context elsewhere, but I'm somewhat skeptical. I do know there are a lot of folks who have very strong opinions about the evils of refined sugar and flour, and am wondering if the sugar-cancer idea applies just to refined sugars or all sugars (e.g., what about honey, maple syrup and agave? What about the sugars in many fruits and vegetables?)

Sometimes I get a little tired of broccoli, but I rarely eat it raw, I usually roast it in the oven.......yummy

Since I understand I'm at a greater risk of contracting more cancer--bladder or otherwise--I'm interested in preventing it. Although not smoking d/n help. Both urologists said they expect to see my type of cancer in an 80-year old who smoked all his life--I never smoked. If only I could link it to all that 2nd hand smoke I got in the military--100 percent disability comp--woohoo!

I was fairly good about my eating, never overweight, etc. Sometimes you just want to say, eat drink and be merry, because being good d/n do me much good. Gnawing on raw broccoli d/n sound too appetizing.
