Tomatoes, all sorts of Brassica veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbages ), green beans, mushrooms, carrots......... One of my favourites dishes is green beans cooked with tomatoes 🥰

[@francy2127]

Broccoli makes me fart🤣tomatoes aggravates my gerd😞also when my uric acid was high, these veggies you mentioned were listed on To avoid eating. Only in moderation 😊

Dr. Li. I'm very sick with so many illnesses. I just came across your videos and now I'm binging on them day and almost all night. I cant get enough of your knowledge! I am so thankful for you! Thank you so so much for doing what your doing freely to help us who are sick and need your guidance. I appreciate you so much.

[@erindeenyable]

I can’t get enough of you and your knowledge. I’ve been binging your media. In college in the 80s I was premed, (loved organic, biochem and physiology) but was fascinated with what was considered alternative medicine: nutrition, herbal medicine, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. I’ve been on the path for most of my life, my grandfather was an organic farmer. Both my grandparents lived into their mid 90s and were not on any medications! I made a commitment to 100% organic in 1996 when I was pregnant with my first child. Your information is so affirming and inspiring! I eventually settled on critical care nursing and am struggling to help my patients. It’s daunting attempting to provide healthy lifestyle education to people struggling to exist. Your food is medicine is so accessible. Would love to put your videos on the Patient Education channel instead of the antiquated preprogramming we have! Hint hint! Talk about making a difference! Thanks again!

[@kimberleybruesch3876]

I have a perpetual organic garden in the mountains of Ecuador. I estimate that I grow 300 heads each of broccoli and cauliflower, and 200 each of purple and green cabbage per year. Of course, I can’t eat them all. We share far and wide with friends and neighbors and a lot of the cabbage goes to our chickens, ducks and geese.

Hard to know what is what. Some doctors say don't eat any nightshade foods because they cause inflammation such as tomatoes. The Mediterranean diet uses tomatoes in everything. Other ppl say to not eat Broccoli or foods from that family because it's man made. At this point it seems like we should not be eating anything. Does air have nutrients in it? Just kidding. Oh yes, don't forget those dang Legumes that are messing up our gut. I have your book by the way. I also have Dr. Gundry's book so I'm confused to say the least.

[@felyasuncion3243]

But-- this doctor is a DNA expert and has contributed greatly to the development of anti-cancer drugs and diet. I would listen here first and then compare or ignore others’ input. It comes down to individual choice in the end. After doing your research.

[@emsrecano]

This doc/scientist is the real deal. He has been heavily involved in research For decades. What i love with him, especially being a medical doctor myself is how he explains the pathophysiology and biochemistry of how the bioactives work on the cellular level. When u understand the “why” and “how”, one will be more inclined to to listen and apply it to your lifestyle changes. Dr. William W. Li is a world-renowned speaker, physician, scientist, and New York Times Best-selling author and the Amazon #1 best-seller Eat to Beat Disease. An international expert on health and disease fighting based on diet, lifestyle, and treatments that keep the body’s blood vessels in balance, he is CEO and President of the global nonprofit Angiogenesis Foundation. Dr. Li’s work has impacted more than 50 million people worldwide and has led to the effective prevention, novel treatment, and even reversal of diseases spanning cancer, chronic wounds, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and vision loss. Known for his ability to predict medical breakthroughs often years before they become realized, he is also the creator of the Eat to Defeat Cancer program, a healthy eating campaign which now has spread to more than 40 countries.

[@Robert-ho1ie]

Agree! This person says this that person says that. It's a crap shoot! Just do your own research and come to your conclusions. Only you know your health and how your body works. Bottom line, when it's your time to be with the Lord then all this is irrelevant. People are shooting for views and good content (things people want to hear) brings more viewers which equals revenue.

[@ladyloungealot5119]

Thanks doc! This is great to know that my most favourite veggies are so good. In fact, at least half of a large carrot is on my dinner plate nearly every time I cook. Plus broccoli or cauliflower or Brussel sprouts. Love mushrooms too. Cheers.

I used to eat green beans regularly but I haven't lately. Thanks for the reminder to start eating them again! BTW for Thanksgiving instead of green bean casserole I do fresh green beans. Cook them in boiling water for a few minutes put them in a bowl or on a little platter and squeeze on lemon juice. Delicious and so nice to have something so fresh on your holiday plate. To dress them up can also crumble some feta and add some toasted slivered almonds. Yum!

Still eating tomatoes. I have no arthritis ang gout for more than 10 years. Drink lots of water and avoid SWEETS. I only consume sugar about 3 tsp only a day because our brain need sugar.... coconut organic sugar is the only one I used. Eat organic. Good luck!

Instant pot is the best for cutting down on the time spent on work. Not the overall time because of the heat up and cool down. Soups and stews are also great in the instant pot.

[@sfung4169]

My understanding is that itc will be formed only when you cut or chew or injure the vegetable. You need to wait about 45 minutes after cutting before you cook or expose the vegetable to heat for the itc like sulforaphane to form. Once you blanch the vegetable the myrosinase will be destroyed and the itc will not be able to be produced.

[@ashapatel4887]

The skin and seeds of tomatoes is not good if you have arthritis! As always eat with moderation!

Look at All Asian people, they eat plenty of green beans and do not do what gunnery says. Look at Italians they grow plenty of tomatoes and eat it daily BUT they eat a lot of fresh olive oil as well. Frankly I gave switched to Sam Mariano tomatoes and my cherry tomatoes and incorporate plenty of olive oil in everything. I believe fresh/organic or frozen is best and not all the preserved which are full of toxic preservatives. So far I'm doing great with incorporating these foods.

if you already blanched or cooked the cruciferous vegetable, there is a way to get some itc when you cut the vegetable after blanched, sprinkle mustard seed powder on the vegetable so that way you can introduce a new source of myrosinase since by blanching it destroyed the original myrosinase in that blanched vegetable.
