(20-04-13) The Two Fruits That Could Kill Cancer
Texas researchers have found that extracts from peaches and plums could kill
the most aggressive kinds of breast cancer cells. Not only did the cancerous
cells die in this study, but also no nearby healthy cells were affected.
The study, published recently in the Journal of Agriculture and Food
Chemistry, suggests that two polyphenols (plant-based chemicals) were
responsible for the cancer cell deaths. Phenols are organic compounds that
occur specifically in fruits. They are slightly acidic, and may be associated
with traits such as aroma, taste, or color.
Researchers originally studied the antioxidants and phytonutrients in plums
and found that they matched or exceeded those in blueberries-a powerful fruit
previously considered superior to other fruits in those categories.
As you know, superfoods like peaches, plums, and blueberries can be the "extra
boost" your body needs to stay healthy.
In fact, there are six more superfoods that could make your disease or illness
vanish for good.
