ASPARAGUS -- GREGORY CHANDLER

Asparagus contains many helpful nutrients.  Asparagus is a good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E, and K.  In addition, this vegetable contains chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into the body's cells.  Asparagus is also a good source of glutathione, a detoxifying compound that helps break down harmful carcinogens and other unwanted compounds such as free radicals.
