Strawberries Most Effective in Fighting Against Cancer Cells: "In one phase of the study, all of the berry extracts exhibited
anti-proliferative effects and did so in a dose-dependent manner. The
strongest strawberry effects were seen against two types of oral cancer cells
and one type of colon cancer cells. A second phase of the experiment measured
their ability to induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) against a
cyclooxygenase (COX)-II expressing enzyme colon cancer cell. The results
showed that the berries were potent inducers of apoptosis in the human colon
cancer cells.
Navindra Seeram, Ph.D., presented the findings of this study at the
International Berry Health Benefits Symposium, June 13-14, 2005."
