I had sushi for lunch and thought about how much I like wasabi. I used 3 of those little packets. I was eating alone at my desk and wondering if it was healthy, so I looked it up. Guess what? I found this:

Lab research shows that wasabi may inhibit the growth of cancer cells in test tubes, prevent platelets from forming blood clots, and may even fight asthma or cavities. And, appropriately for a condiment used to season raw fish, wasabi has antimicrobial properties.

Interesting that we were both thinking about wasabi today.
