Cactus: Nature's phytochemical specialist

摘要

Cactus is nature's finest phytochemical specialist. Phytochemicals are amazing substances which can only be found in fruits, 100% fruit juices and vegetables. These can help fight against diseases including cancer. As powerful allies of the body's immune system, phytochemicals can defend the body from all types of pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. According to De Jesus (2001), cactus contains thousands of phytochemicals, in quantities far greater than any other traditional plant foods.
