DARK TIDINGS FOR CANCER TOO

CANCER FIGHTING

Long Beach, California:  Cabernet and chocolate are potent medicine for killing cancer, according to research presented here .

                                  Red grapes and dark chocolate join blueberries, garlic, soy, and teas as ingredients that starve cancer, Angiogenesis Foundation head William Li said. "We are rating foods based on their cancer-fighting qualities,"Li said. " What we eat is really our chemotherapy three times day."

                                 The Massachusetts-based foundation is identifying foods containing chemicals that choke off blood supplies to tumors, starving them to death. "There is a medical revolution happening all around us ". Li said. "It could impact on consumer education, food service, public health, and even insurance agencies".

                                About a dozen drugs are already in use to deprive tumors of blood supplies in a tactic called "anti-angiogenesis' The foundation also found that such properties of food melt away fat, which relies on blood flow to sustain itself.  AFP
