Pumpkin</h3> <p>Most of us associate pumpkins with Halloween, but studies have shown that this superfood may actually have antimicrobial properties. For example, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131012055743/http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf902005g" target="_blank">a 2009 study</a> found that pumpkin rind proteins put a scare in certain microbes, inhibiting the growth of <em>Candida albicans</em>, a fungus that causes vaginal yeast infections and diaper rash. Pumpkins are also loaded with superpower pigments called carotenoids.
