• WHO KNEW? 'Shroom Sagacity
• Mushrooms, long a staple of healthy eating in Asian diets, are a bit of a yin-yang affair. They can have powerful anticancer effects, but they must be properly prepared. Integrative oncologist Donald Abrams notes that "people are often not aware that white button mushrooms, their brown cousins, the cremini, and their giant cousins, the portobello, really need to be cooked. Putting sliced white button mushrooms in a salad is really something we should avoid, because they may in fact contain hydrazine, a cancer-causing compound that's neutralized when it's cooked." Abrams adds that he loves shiitake and maitake mushrooms for his patients, as both are good immune enhancers.
