Why people make this soup

Most of us are exposed to low-level radiation every day — from computer screens, phones, and office equipment. While the science on food and radiation is nuanced, traditional Cantonese food therapy has long pointed to brightly coloured vegetables as allies for keeping the body clear and the skin vibrant. Tomatoes, carrots, and pumpkin are all rich in pectin — a natural dietary fibre that binds to certain waste products and heavy metals in the digestive tract and helps carry them out of the body. Seaweed brings iodine and a range of trace minerals. Together, this cheerful soup is a practical, delicious way to eat more vegetables and support your skin from the inside.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Ginger · Meta-analysis, 23 studies · 2022
    Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
