-White beans (cannellini, kidney and navy) are loaded with even more cancer-fighting dietary fiber than healthy red beans.
-By eating these fiber-rich superfoods, you can reduce the risk of many cancers and other potential killers, including brain aneurysms.
-These legumes are also loaded with flavonoids and other phytochemicals that slow cancer cell growth and decrease chronic inflammation.
-By cooking white beans or other legumes, you increase their resistant starch levels, which act similar to fiber by helping the colon eliminate damaged cells
- White beans deliver a hefty supply of antioxidants, substances that fight off disease and help maintain optimum health. Antioxidants are believed to protect the cells in your body from free radicals, unstable molecules that damage cells. Ultimately, the damage caused by free radicals can result in many chronic conditions and degenerative diseases including certain types of cancer, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, arthritis, heart disease, immune system problems, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia.
