Blueberries Cut Cancer Risk More Than Half

A compound in blueberries may prevent colon cancer,
according to a new joint study on animals by Rutgers
University and the USDA. The compound, called
pterostilbene, lessens precancerous lesions as well
as suppresses genes involved in inflammation.

The scientists studied rats in which colon cancer
similar to human cancer had been induced. All of
the rats were fed a balanced diet, and half of
them were also given pterostilbene supplements.
After two months, the pterostilbene rats had 57
percent fewer pre-cancerous colon lesions and
less inflammation.

Colon cancer, which is the number two cancer
killer in the U.S., has been tied to the high
intake of acidic foods such as animal protein,
sugar and saturated fats in Western diets.

Pterostilbene may possibly reverse the process,
perhaps by lowering lipids, said Bandaru Reddy, Ph.D.,
the leader of the study. He believes the blueberry
compound helps to prevent the disease naturally.

Reddy cited other recent studies that showed
additional benefits of blueberries, such as one
that demonstrated that they can lower cholesterol
and then added, "This study underscores the need
to include more berries in the diet, especially
blueberries."

This is why low heat dehydrated blueberries are
included in Dr. Young's NEW Young pHorever formula,
called pHruits.
