If you look back on my post from July 20, 2013 you'll see a large collection of research articles enumerating studies that proved all sorts of things - coffee, cucumin (turmeric), cimetadine (tagamet...med to decrease stomach acid), doxycycline (an older antibiotic), NSAID's (like ibuprofen), and even shitake mushrooms - kill melanoma cells!!! Well, here's another: STRAWBERRY JUICE!

So....these peeps extracted the juice from strawberries (anthocyanin-rich strawberry fruit crude extracts) and squirted it on some mouse melanoma cells they had scattered about in petri dishes and found.... {DRUMROLL>>>>>}.... "the strawberry extract produced a remarkable reduction of cell proliferation."
Thought you should know. Now...go have a "fruit snack"!!!!
PS...Fred, Shane, and Rose should never have any worries having eaten more than their weight in fruit a zillion times over!!! Remember Fred trying to get out of the grocery cart to get to the strawberries when he was a baby, Ruthie????
Wonder if it counts if you eat strawberry ice cream? Hmmmmm... - c
Haha! I will never forget being in the produce section with Freddie! :)
ReplyDeleteFruit snacks are definitely delish, I sure wouldn't mind having more! I was telling ma maybe we should all just bathe in strawberry juice... ;) --Shane
