Great News about Ginger

Ginger is great candied. But it's even better in your medicine cabinet. We knew already that ginger can settle an upset stomach, even when it's due to morning sickness during pregnancy. We also knew that it is a wonderful balm for sore throats. But now we have a new reason to love it.

According to the American Association for Cancer Research, ginger may kill cancerous cells in the ovaries. This is great news for women everywhere. Remember, though, that these are preliminary findings, and are not the last word. There are still many tests to be run.

In the meantime, we can be glad knowing that we may be doing more than calming our coughs and taming our tummies.
