Toxic oil, Tasty Slaw

Don't break for something fried. Stale, scorched and fried aromas all mean your cooking oil is breaking down and releasing potentially dangerous aldehydes that can damage the airways when eaten or inhaled. Take a break from oily cooked foods and fix a raw slaw. Try trimming and shredding brussels sprouts and peeling and slivering broccoli stems, toss with lemon, mustard and a little low-fat mayonnaise for an antioxidant-rich anti cancer treat. For a flavor spike, sprinkle in some shallot pepper to taste.
