Lettuce aids digestion and promotes liver health.
It can also reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and cataracts.
Other research shows it helps to reduce the risk of cancer and may ease nervous insomnia.
If iceberg is the only type of lettuce you eat,
you are choosing the least-nutritious member of a family of nutritional champions.
Any other lettuce or leafy green vegetable would be a better choice.
Most other greens are also good sources of vitamin C, beta-carotene,
folate, and dietary fiber as well as some calcium.
As a general rule, the darker green the leaves, the more nutritious the salad green.
For example, romaine or watercress have seven to eight times as much beta-carotene,
and two to four times the calcium, and twice the amount of potassium as iceberg lettuce.
