I have some raspberry bushes so I guess the local birds are cancer free.

For those of us with Cancer, berries sound tame compared to the treatments offered by the medical establishment.

Another food to go with the berries?

How about drugs that specifically target the genes of interest that the berries helped identify? That seems more feasible than trying out different foods.

Interesting. Thanks.

This demonstrates how ridiculous it is when scientists claim to identify the “active component” of a food with thousands and thousands of compounds, not to mention the dynamic inter-relationships of those compounds, then test the “active component” against cancer and determine “it doesn’t work.”

Maybe it does work-—but only in its original biochemical context, not as a stand-alone chemical plucked out by scientists.

Ping!

I haven’t seen any so far this year.

I’m offended!
Call them “Rasberries of color”

[SunkenCiv]

Carcinogen-altered genes in rat esophagus positively modulated to normal levels of expression by both black raspberries and phenylethyl isothiocyanate.
