One UK women’s magazine was plugging the fresh produce as the health tip this winter season. “Want to keep colds and viruses away this winter? Eat plenty of mushrooms.” So the piece trilled.
“Fungi contain more of the potent immune-boosting antioxidant ergothioneine than any other food. Even white button mushrooms – the most commonly eaten in the UK – contain 12 times the antioxidant as wheatgerm, the next richest food source. More exotic mushrooms such as shitake and oyster, have even higher levels, so tuck in this winter!”
Good to see the plugs coming in from whatever the source.
