"b***s: The War on Women’s Breasts investigates the controversy swirling around the breast cancer screening test mammography. Over a 30-year period, mammogram’s use led to over-diagnosing 1.3 million U.S. women, resulting in needless treatments for breast cancers that otherwise may not have spread."

Eating the rainbow is more than visual variety. Different plant colors often reflect different families of bioactive compounds, and some have intriguing relationships with specific tissues and functions in the body.

🍅 Lycopene in tomatoes has been studied in relation to prostate health.
🍊 Beta-cryptoxanthin in orange foods has been explored in reproductive health.
🫚 Gingerols in ginger are traditionally associated with digestive comfort.
🥬 Nitrates in leafy greens can support nitric oxide production, circulation, and vascular tone.
🫐 Anthocyanins in blueberries have been studied for their roles in neuronal and cognitive function.

These are not rigid “food = organ” rules. I think of them more as colorful biological signatures that remind us just how much information is contained within whole foods.

The more colors we eat, the broader the spectrum of phytonutrients we invite into the body.

Which colors have you had today?
