Grape Seed May Be a
Cancer Fighter
(HealthDay News, 10/18/06)
Rajesh Agarwal of the University of
Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, and team, found
that grape seed extract significantly reduced the size of
colorectal tumors in lab rats. The researchers report that the
extract increases the availability of a protein (Cip1/p21) in
tumors, thereby stopping the cell cycle and causing cellular
self-destruction.
