Ginger Limit for Fighting Prostate Cancer
I recently told a medical student that I was afraid I was going to die
of prostate cancer. He busted out laughing, "Everyone dies of prostate cancer if he lives long enough." This was not the desired response. Since then a study appeared showing the juice from ginger root would significantly reduce prostate cancer. At $1.49/lb ginger root is cheaper than a lot of produce that might not be quite as effective against prostate cancer. If it tasted ok I was willing to swap out mushrooms for equal or greater masses of ginger root. I started to wonder what is the maximum amount of ginger that can be added. To save time instead of a linear increase in ginger I opted for geometric.. Going from one tablespoon/serving to 2 in stir fry improves the taste. No downside there. Taste falls off sharply above 4 tablespoons but the aroma will bring neighbors over hoping for some of the food. This requires more study, at least with the missing 3 tbs. data point. A lot of chefs are expert at this and probably already saute a few pounds of ginger and garlic / day near the exhaust fan to attract customers. Bret Cahill |

I have some shredded ginger in a jar in the fridge which I add to my evening sauna cooked meat. -- Simon Mason |

Far more die *with* prostate cancer rather than *of* prostate cancer. Since then a study appeared showing the juice from ginger root would significantly reduce prostate cancer. Was this a properly controlled and peer reviewed study or an article in Quack's monthly? MBQ |

It's been a long time since I had a good alcoholic ginger beer. Crabbies seems easily available but sweet, only get the small bottles unless you are splitting a pint bottle. |
