    We've all seen Popeye eat spinach and grow stronger, but did you know that spinach was also helping him protect against cancer and other diseases?

    Researchers have identified at least 13 different flavonoids and carotenoids in spinach, which work as antioxidants and as anti-cancer agents. In studies on laboratory animals, spinach extracts have slowed down cell division in stomach cancer cells and reduced growth of skin cancer.
