This is what I'd call BAD science. I'm a scientist, and the research being quoted here is inaccurate. Asparagus isperhaps the single most powerful food source to DETOXIFY the body of harmful chemicals. This is because it ALKALIZES the body. Back in the 70's and before, it was thought to be highly acidic for the body due to the metabolic by-products excreted in the urine. Simple ignorance of the scientists at the time has since been corrected.

Unfortunately, those who consider themselves "Rockstar Researchers" are rarely either. Scientific Research does NOT consist of pulling information off the web without checking references and scientific accuracy. This however, is sadly the case as people are sloppy in thinking and reporting.

Asparagus is an amazing vegetable. Yes, it also metabolizes DDT. It's something that should've been studied long ago but then again, where would the future of medicine be if people knew they could heal their bodies simply.

Don't believe MOST of what you read. Use your own intelligence, get the facts and stop spreading fear. Disease can only live in a predominantly acidic body (translation: an acidic body is the corpse signaling all the bacteria, microbes, etc whose job it is to consume the body after death). Conversely, it's scientifically known that disease cannot even exist in an ALKALINE (ph) body.

Do the math, people. Just understand your bodies first and then act. Please don't pass along Fear between our species. Fear is the greatest "enemy" of humanity. Live Free!

Thanks!
