A study published this week in the medical journal Carcinogenesis shows that grape seed extract kills head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.  The grape seed extract (also known as proanthocyanidins and/or flavinoids)has been demonstrated to damage cancer cell DNA (by way of increasing reactive oxygen), as well as inhibiting the cancer cell’s ability to repair the damage. The best part is that the grape seed extract is not harmful to normal cells.  This is probably due to the fact that cancer cells are known to have a lot of deficient metabolic pathways that can be vulnerable to attack. Normal cells do not have most of these vulnerabilities.

Another study that was published in the January 1, 2009 issue of Clinical Cancer Research by researchers from the University of Kentucky found that an extract from grape seeds caused in vitro leukemia cells to commit suicide. continue reading…

A recent study has demonstrated that red meat eaters may have a higher risk of developing esophageal and stomach cancers than people who do not eat as much steak and hamburgers. Many people who follow and embrace a wholistic approach to diet have suspected that high consumption levels of red meat is not healthy.

A study in the American Journal of Gastroenterology found that subjects in the highest 20 percent of red meat consumed were 79 percent more likely than those in the bottom 20 percent to develop esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The researchers say that the study does not prove that red meat actually causes cancer.  But this study does show a strong correlation between high rates of red meat consumption and cancers of the G.I. tract. continue reading…

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer with over 2 million people a year being diagnosed.  More people come down with skin cancer than those diagnosed with breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer combined.  Around 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers are related to UV radiation from the sun.  Squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma are the two main forms of non-melanoma skin cancer.  40 to 50% of people in America who live to age 65 will be diagnosed with skin cancer at least once in their lives.

In 2004, over $1 billion was expended on non-melanoma skin cancer treatment. continue reading…
