Grape Seed Fights Cancer in Study
Impressive data published in Carcinogenesis showing grape seed extract killed cancer cells in mice and left healthy ones alone.
Researchers say the extract creates the perfect conditions to discourage cancer growth. These include damage to cancer cells' DNA and decreased levels of molecules that enable its repair. These results were accomplished without toxicity.
"I think the whole point is that cancer cells have a lot of defective pathways and they are very vulnerable if you target those pathways.. The same is not true of healthy cells," says Rajesh Agarwal, Ph.D., investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and professor at the Skaggs School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
