Here is the why:  “Tomatoes contain lutein which protects against cell damage.  Onions contain quinines that neutralize some carcinogens and allyl sulfides that help the liver remove toxins from the body.  Super broccoli decreases the estrogen subtype correlated with breast cancer, and is a great antioxidant blocking cell damaging free radicals.  Radish contains isothiocyanates that prevent DNA damage and block production of tumours.  Citrus fruit rinds contain cancer cell fighting limonoids.  That is pretty impressive for a simple salad!”
