Grapeseed Extract Kills Cancer Cells
According to a report on BBC News Uk website, a recent US research indicates that an extract from grape seeds can destroy cancer cells whilst leaving normal cells alone. here’s what it has to say:
In lab experiments, scientists found that the extract stimulated leukaemia cells to commit suicide.
Within 24 hours, 76% of leukaemia cells exposed to the extract were killed off, while healthy cells were unharmed, Clinical Cancer Research reports.
The study raises the possibility of new cancer treatments, but scientists said it was too early to recommend that people eat grapes to ward off cancer.
Grape seeds contain a number of antioxidants, including resveratrol, which is known to have anti-cancer properties, as well as positive effect on the heart.
Previous research has shown grapeseed extract has an effect on skin, breast, bowel, lung, stomach and prostate cancer cells in the laboratory.
It can also reduce the size of breast tumours in rats and skin tumours in mice.
This finding is not conclusive yet, k. So, dont rush off to your nearest grocery and sweep all the grapes off the shelves. Give the researchers more time so that they can confirm the facts. We do really need a surefire way to combat cancer.
