Ginger, green tea prevent cancer, says new research
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
New research is showing that two powerful herbs -- ginger and green tea -- both exhibit strong anti-cancer effects, especially on colon cancer. When it comes to cancer prevention, nothing beats the power of natural healing foods and medicinal herbs...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ginger, green tea and a Chinese herb may all
help prevent the development of cancer, researchers told a conference on
Tuesday.
Ann Bode and Zigang Dong of the University of Minnesota used a ginger
extract on mice infected with human colon cancer cells.
The specially bred mice almost always grow tumors.
But when fed extracts of -gingerol -- the substance that makes ginger
spicy -- fewer mice grew the tumors.
After 15 days, Bode and Dong counted 13 tumors in mice fed normal
diets compared to four tumors in mice fed the ginger extract before and
after they were injected with tumor cells.
