While recently showing off one of her favorite recipes on “The Today Show” (fiery pepper pasta), celebrity chef Padma Lakshmi praised City of Hope research.

She was showing the host of the show how to make a hot berry sauce using strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Blueberries, as City of Hope scientists have always said, are a super food, and have shown to be an excellent defense against all types of cancer.

And now, thanks to Ms. Lakshmi, the general public knows it.
