Parsley for protection

-

Compelling research has shown that parsley is so much more than a decorative garnish and, in the right quantities and quality, can protect from disease. University of Missouri research found that a compound in parsley can stop certain breast cancer tumour cells

multiplyin­g and growing. Meanwhile, a compound called myricetin, present in parsley, has also been shown to help decrease

insulin resistance and provide anti-inflammato­ry effects, making it a focus for scientists in the

prevention of diabetes.
