Scientists at Cornell University carry out tests to study the effects of apples on cancers.
14/03/05 Study by Food scientists at Cornell University suggests that apples can help keep breast cancer away.
The researchers treated a group of rats with a known mammary carcinogen and then fed them either whole apple extracts or control extracts. The study of the effects of apples on cancer prevention in animals found that the number of tumors was reduced by 25, 25 and 61 percent in rats fed, respectively, the equivalent of one, three or six apples a day.
The report will be published later this month in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
