Ellagic Acid

Found in red raspberries, strawberries, blue berries, and certain

nuts, the Hollings Cancer Institute at the U of South Carolina

recently finished (1999) n years of study showing that ellagic acid:

 

stops cancer cells from dividing in 48 hours

causes normal cell death (apoptosis) within 72 hours in cases of

breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon and prostate cancers

prevents the destruction of the p53 gene that leads to cancer

caused apoptosis (normal cell death) in HPV (human papilloma virus)

exposed to it

one cup (150 grams) per day of red raspberries prevents the

development of cancer cells.

 

From Dr Glen Halvorson's Book, Chemopreventive Properties of …

Phytochemicals, we learn that ellagic acid:

 

is anti-bacterial and destroys the H. pylori bacteria responsible

for stomach ulcers.

protects the liver and liver function

binds with carcinogens (chemicals that cause cancer) making them

inactive

prevents carcinogens from binding to DNA

reduces glucose levels (aids in management of diabetes).

Raspberries contain the highest amounts of ellagic acid, and it

doesn't matter if the fruit is boiled, baked, canned, sugared,

dehydrated, or fresh, the ellagic acid is still potent.

 

One of the most amazing things about raspberries is that one cup per

week stops prostate cancers (all prostate cancers) from growing for

one week.

 

Two more things are currently underway at the Hollings Cancer

Institute: they're patenting a process that extracts the ellagic

acid from raspberries and, hopefully, it will not be destroyed in

the stomach (ellagic acid, so far, cannot be taken as a supplement,

and must be eaten as the fruit) and they are conducting a double

blind (neither patient nor physician knows who's taking what) study

involving 500 cervical cancer patients.

 

There is a multi-level marketing company that claims to have created

a form of ellagic acid that can be taken orally. It is called

Ellagic Insurance Formula, and in addition to containing ellagic

acid, it also contains OPC's (like Pycnogenol®) which are potent

flavanoids (like Resveratrol) that act as antioxidants, concentrated

Green Tea, and vitamins C, E, A and selenium. This is, if it works,

a very powerful cancer fighter and preventative measure. I'm sure if

you type in Ellagic Insurance Formula at any internet search engine,

you'll find a half a ton of sites selling it.

 

Please note: if you are eating raspberries for their ellagic acid

you must eat them on an empty stomach, before you eat anything else,

or eat them in organic yogurt, as the curdling of the yogurt in the

stomach will protect them. If your fruit sits in your stomach too

long, because you've eaten something prior, stomach acid will

destroy its healthful properties.
