beneficial fruits

This article appears in the AICR Newsletter #119, spring 2016 Berries may be among the most beneficial fruits to eat for cancer prevention. Scientists are beginning to find out why. Research is providing new evidence that berries not only contain strong antioxidants that help to prevent cell damage that precedes cancer: they also appear to affect genes that are associated with inflammation and the growth of cancer. What the Studies Show Gary Stoner, PhD, professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin, has been studying the potential of berries for cancer prevention for more than two decades. In his studies, Dr. Stoner found that a diet of freeze-dried black raspberries or strawberries could inhibit esophageal cancer in rat’s 30-70 percent and colon cancer up to 80 percent In these studies, the berries were freeze-dried then ground into a powder. From recent early phase clinical studies, Dr. Stoner and his colleagues found that black raspberry and strawberry powders are safe and well tolerated.
