Prostate Cancer Prevention - Strawberries, Mangoes, Figs
A new study at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine has discovered a chemical compound called lupeol that is found in many fruits, including strawberries, mangoes, and figs, and that may aid in the fight against prostate cancer.
Mukhtar and his research team observed the effects of lupeol in "nude" mice, those that accept foreign disease. The team injected the mice with human prostate-cancer cells and investigated the results of those given lupeol alone and lupeol in conjunction with a laboratory-produced antibody ... Mice injected with lupeol alone showed a substantial slowing of the cancer process, and those that received both showed even greater results. (Badger Herald)
