Asparagus against Cancer ?

Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer.That accounts for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic. In any event,regardless of theory, asparagus in your daily diet (canned or fresh), will give you some benefits. It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.
