T NATION | High Performance Foods: Blueberry Bioactives:
"A recent study showed that dietary supplementation with the bioactives from whole blueberries improved insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant individuals. Basically, researchers gave fat (but non-diabetic) participants two blueberry smoothies per day for six weeks. At the end of the study, 67% showed a 10% or greater improvement in their insulin sensitivity."

Turmeric Extract Suppresses Fat Gain
Turmeric Extract Suppresses Fat - Tufts University:
"Curcumin, the major polyphenol found in turmeric, appears to reduce weight gain in mice and suppress the growth of fat tissue in mice and cell models. Researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University (USDA HNRCA) studied mice fed high fat diets supplemented with curcumin and cell cultures incubated with curcumin."
"But, the addition of curcumin does not just inhibit the production of fat tissue, as you can see in the table below. The amount of free fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol in the animals’ blood indicates that curcumin also accelerates fat metabolism."

Grapefruit Juice
T NATION | Nutsack-Rated Nutrition:
"If, however, you're a supplement kamikaze and what to maximize the effects of your supps, take them with 8-12 ounces of grapefruit juice. I urge you not to do this with your prescription meds, though, as grapefruit juice might raise the level of the drugs in your bloodstream to unsafe levels."

Cruciferous Vegetables Reduce Oxidative Stress
The Super-Veggies: Cruciferous Vegetables: "In a study funded by the National Cancer Institute, 20 participants were
encouraged to eat 1 to 2 cups of cruciferous vegetables a day. After three weeks, the amount of oxidative stress in their body was measured. Then, after a
three-week wash-out period, the study participants were told to take a multivitamin with fiber. Again, the oxidative stress was measured three weeks later.
And the results? Oxidative stress in the subjects' bodies dropped 22% during the period when they were eating lots of cruciferous vegetables. But the change during the multivitamin segment was negligible (0.2%),"

Dietary vitamin K reduced risk of incident and fatal cancer
Dietary vitamin K intake in relation to cancer incidence and mortality: results from the Heidelberg cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition:
"These findings suggest that dietary intake of menaquinones, which is highly determined by the consumption of cheese, is associated with a reduced risk of incident and fatal cancer"
