Eating just one mushroom a day with a green veggie will reduce your risk of getting breast cancer by 89%!!  The special thing about mushrooms is that they contain three important compounds that fight cancer:  Anitgen Binding Lectins, Aromatase Inhibitors, and Anti-Angiogenic Properties.
The antigen binding lectins of mushrooms are proteins that bind to abnormal cancer cells and activate the body’s defense system to destroy the cancer cells.  Mushrooms have been used in therapies to cure cancer in patients with breast and colon cancers. Yummy Stuffed Portobello Pizza Mushrooms are an easy way to eat a mushroom a day!!
