Craving Pepperoncini's Daily!

Your craving made me smile -- but yes, I think chemo changed my tastes, things I loved before are less appealing now (although nothing is off-limits now that my taste has come back!).  But here's my food-craving philosophy since I was in my 20's:  if my body is craving it, I must need something in it, and unless it's unhealthy and a "head" craving instead of a body craving (don't laugh) (example:  my cravings for ice cream are usually in my head!), I go with it.  Peppers are one of the foods that are listed several places as being good anti-cancer foods.  Test yourself -- see if you can find low/no salt pepperoncinis, or just eat regular peppers.  The high sodium content of the ones you have is a bit scary, 1500 mg, I think, is the recommended max. daily amount for many people.  If it's the salt you're into, that should become apparent quickly.  I've had a thing for orange bell peppers since I got off chemo and slice them up and eat them raw pretty much every day.  Yum.
