Natural Born Killers



Another reason to go green: Avocados may wipe out oral cancer.

Phytonutrients- the compunds that give fruits and veggies their color-may be responsible. For a sandwich spread that offers cancer-crushing benefits without blowing your diet: Mash half an avocado with low-fat cream cheese.
