Ginger raises new hope in fight against ovarian cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Research carried out at the University of Michigan medical school has found

that research-grade ginger can stop cancer cell growth in Petri dishes as

effectively as platininum-based chemotherapies. The US scientists are

particularly excited on findings that suggest ginger may offer a two-pronged

attack on cancer cells, making them commit apoptosis and autophagy.

 

Warm regards,
