Strawberries Most Effective in Fighting Against Cancer Cells

Strawberries Most Effective in Fighting Against Cancer Cells: "In one phase of the study, all of the berry extracts exhibited

anti-proliferative effects and did so in a dose-dependent manner. The

strongest strawberry effects were seen against two types of oral cancer cells

and one type of colon cancer cells. A second phase of the experiment measured

their ability to induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) against a

cyclooxygenase (COX)-II expressing enzyme colon cancer cell. The results

showed that the berries were potent inducers of apoptosis in the human colon
