qualities of the cabbage family.

For an extra strong boost use sprouted broccoli seeds.

 

A healthy diet with a variety of colourful plant foods

contains many substances that may eventually turn

Chocolate compound stops cancer cell cycle in lab

 

18/04/2005 - A natural compound found in cocoa

deactivates a number of proteins that are probably

behind the continual division of cancer cells,

report researchers.

 

The compound pentameric procyanidin has previously

been shown to stop breast cancer progression in lab

studies but the mechanism was unknown.

 

Writing in the April issue of Molecular Cancer Therapeutics

vol 4, issue 4, pp537-46), a team from the Lombardi

Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University explain

that the compound appears to work on several different proteins

involved in the cancer.

 

Although the study was conducted in breast cancer cell cultures,

the finding could potentially apply to other cancers, said lead

author Robert B.Dickson.
