A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
Loaded with calcium from the cheese and milk, this recipe offers important benefits for cancer healing. Calcium also helps to prevent osteoporosis, the brittle bone disease that often affects us as we age.

"I sauté green peppers and onions in butter before adding them to recipes. This helps minimize the acid and makes them less bothersome for both mouth sores and gas in the intestine." -Anne R.
