According to Kresty, research using animal models of BE showed that black raspberries inhibited chemically induced oral, esophageal and colon cancers. The studies showed that berries reduced measures of oxidative stress (the destruction done to cells by oxygen ions or small reactive molecules containing oxygen), decreased DNA damage, inhibited cellular proliferation rates, and reduced the number of pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus and colon. "We can give black raspberries before we have any initiated cells, or we can administer after we already know we have initiated cells," Kresty said. "What's promising about the berries is that they work in both cases, and in multiple models. There aren't nearly as many agents that work in the latter scenario." This study has been presented during the American Association for Cancer Research's Sixth Annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention.

> He says blackberries are hollow, black raspberries are not :) I remember > I used to call them blackcaps as a kid. Yummy stuff! He got that backwards, of course. All raspberries are hollow in the middle or at least any I've ever seen. Black caps or black raspberries grow wild in the western U.S. They are usually a bit smaller then the red berries and a bit tart. Their thorns are what really sticks out, or maybe sticks in. The thorns are hooked, so can really grab one if not real careful. -- Bob Noble http://www.sonic.net/bnoble >>>> Friday, December 07, 2007 >>>> >>> Actually, no.
