, : Dear George, you
:
may
be referring to an "e-
--,,,
..1...rumor" that's been circu-
lating on the internet since about
2006, which cited miraculous
cancer cures attributable
to asparagus. The major-
internet fact-checking
--,,
organizations have never
been able to substantiate
j
the provenance of the
(X
\ - ,v
item. The plain truth is
that there is no clinical
proof that asparagus,
by itself, cures cancer.

Asparagus officinalis
is a member of the
lily family in the genus
Asparagus, from which the
vegetable asparagus is derived.
Native to much of Europe and
Asia, asparagus is widely cultivat-
ed in the modern world, including
right here in Michigan, which
produces up to 25 million pounds
annually (3rd in the nation).

An excellent source of folic acid,
asparagus supplies a nice balance
of other nutrients, including thia-
min, vitamin B6, rutin (may play
a role in inhibiting some cancers),
potassium, fiber, and glutathione
(an important cell antioxidant).
Asparagus has no fat or choles-
terol and is low in sodium and
calories. All-in-all, a welcome
addition to many people's diet.
