( All over the world researchers are dis...)Emboldened Warriors-Cancer Fighting Foods,Health

All over the world, researchers are discovering that some foods and supplements do have an important role in the prevention of the modern// world’s deadliest killer- the ‘big C’. At the 233rd national meeting of the American Chemical Society, a one-day symposium, more than a dozen research papers on this topic will be presented.

Selected highlights are shown below:

Black raspberries show promise for preventing cancer of the esophagus, colon — Using animal models (rodents) of cancer development, researchers at Ohio State University showed that animals whose diets were supplemented with black raspberries had a 60 percent reduction in tumors of the esophagus and up to an 80 percent reduction in colon tumors. Clinical trials are now underway to determine whether the berries will prevent the development of esophageal and colon cancer in humans, says study leader Gary D. Stoner, Ph.D., a researcher and professor of internal medicine at the university.

Blueberries contain chemical that may help prevent colon cancer — A compound found in blueberries shows promise in animal studies of preventing colon cancer, according to a joint study by scientists at Rutgers University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The compound, pterostilbene, is a potent antioxidant that could be developed into a pill with the potential for fewer side effects than some commercial drugs that are currently used to prevent the disease, according to study leader Bandaru Reddy, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Chemical Biology at the university.

Grape seed compounds may prevent skin cancer by boosting immune system — Chemicals obtained from grape seed extract show promise in animal studies as a way to prevent sunlight-induced skin cancer when used as a dietary supplement, according to researchers at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. In studies using mouse models of ultraviolet-light-induced (non-melanoma) skin cancer, mice that were fed diets su
