Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi folks: The anti-cancer characteristics of berries, as found in one study, are discussed in the following paper. Of particular note are the following statements in the abstract: "No correlation was found between the anti-proliferative activity of berry juices and their antioxidant capacity (p > 0.05)". "The growth of various cancer cell lines, including those of stomach, prostate, intestine and breast, was strongly inhibited by raspberry, black currant, white currant, gooseberry, velvet leaf blueberry, low-bush blueberry, sea buckthorn and cranberry juice," BUT NOT (OR ONLY SLIGHTLY) BY: " strawberry, high-bush blueberry, serviceberry, red currant, or blackberry juice. " PMID: 17465224 For those wishing more information, a search of PubMed using the expression "berries cancer" will find 1881 referenced papers. Rodney.
