New Hope To Prevent Breast Cancer
By David L. Kern, Thu Dec 8th
In March, 2005, a major nutritional breakthrough in the fightagainst was announced by U.S. scientists. This newinformation is absolutely critical for every woman looking for anatural way to reduce risk. Researchers at Cornell University found that extracts fromordinary apples "effectively inhibited mammary cancer growth" inlaboratory animals. The study concluded that "consumption ofapples may be an effective strategy for cancer prevention." The study, "Apples Prevent Mammary Tumors in Rats," waspublished in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Phytochemicals from apples- known as polyphenols- havepreviously shown effectiveness against colon, lung, liver andstomach cancer, among others. But this is the first publishedstudy showing that apple polyphenols may be even more effectiveagainst tumors. Beyond Prevention? In the recent study, treatment with apple extracts prevented newtumor formation by up to 44% in animals given the highestamount. But the most startling finding- and by far the most significant-is this: after 6 months of treatment, the number of existingtumors was reduced by 61%. This remarkable finding indicates that adequate doses of applepolyphenols may go beyond prevention, and actually reduceexisting mammary tumors. What Can This Mean for You? The researchers at Cornell believe that apple polyphenols mayprevent in humans. If this were the only studyavailable, it might be too early to recommend increased doses ofapple phytochemicals. However, there are multiple studies in different types ofcancer, showing that apple
polyphenols are anti-proliferative,anti-mutagenic, and highly antioxidant. Consistent results havebeen obtained in studies on skin cancer, lung cancer, and sixother types of human cancer cells. Now, a new study from Cornell shows that apple polyphenols arealso anti-metastatic- they seem to prevent cancers fromspreading. This is a crucial finding for those at risk forbreast cancer, as well as survivors of the disease. Can I Just Eat More Apples? In nearly all the available studies, the highest benefit fromapple polyphenols comes with the highest intake. The Cornellscientists said the highest benefit was seen in rats eating the"human equivalent" of six apples a day. There is no question that phytochemicals in apples are good foryou. And one way to get more of them is to substantiallyincrease the number of apples in your diet. But there's aproblem... Aside from the difficulty and expense of eating that many apples(42 apples a week), there is another important health issue-pesticides. Apples are one of the "dirtiest" foods in the U.S.when it comes to pesticides. A Perfect Solution? If you or someone you love is at risk for breast cancer, youneed to know the answers to these three questions: 1. How many different pesticides are lurking in your apples? 2. Does washing the fruit take care of the problem? (This onemay shock you.) 3. How can you get these apple phytochemicals with zero risk ofpesticides?
