It seems often there's a new study out suggesting some formerly "healthy" food is now bad for us. the latest shows a link btwn asparagus & cancer?

Be cautious: Uncertain this is valid. the study was done in mice. The study did not show aspargine a substance in asparagus caused cancer only that in a mouse with a type of cancer . The problem is asparagine is in many other foods.
