Study shows broccoli may offer protection against liver cancer
(University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences) Research has shown that eating broccoli three to five times per week can lower the risk of many types of cancers. Consuming a high-fat, high-sugar diet and having excess body fat is linked with the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can lead to diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. A new study from the University of Illinois shows that including broccoli in the diet may protect against liver cancer, as well as aid in countering the development of NAFLD.

Out Of Coffee? Eat These 10 Foods For Energy Instead
Photo credit: Paul Delmont, Thrive Market By Gina Vaynshteyn for Thrive Market Like most people who struggle to stay awake during the day, I absolutely need a cup of coffee to get me going -- and stay going.

The other day a new parent told me, "I don't make my own baby food, but I only buy organic."
