Dark Fruits and Veggies Combat a Cancerous Colon

Dark-colored vegetables and fruits may help defend
against a cancerous colon, new research shows.

Experiments on human cells that are cancerous and on
rats lead scientists to believe that anthocyanins, which
are the substances that give fruits and vegetables a
strong red, blue, or purple color, may slow cellular
fermentation or rotting from 50 to 80 percent.

"All fruits and vegetables that are rich in anthocyanins
have compounds that can slow down the growth of colon
cancer cells in experiments in laboratory dishes and
possibly inside the body," said Monica Giusti, lead
author of the new study and assistant professor of
food science at Ohio State University.

Which ones have the strongest effect?

Pigments from purple cabbage and blackcurrant not only
stopped cancerous growth, but in addition transformed
about 20 percent of the cancerous cells while leaving
healthy cells alone. When rats with a cancerous colon
were fed anthocyanin extracts from chokeberries and
bilberries, signs of tumors were reduced 60 to 70
percent.

While it's not going to hurt anyone to include dark
fruits and vegetables in their daily diet and will
probably help for a number of nutritional reasons,
Giusti emphasized that the new study is still
preliminary in regard to the chemical structure of
the 600 different anthocyanins found in nature.

"We're just beginning to scratch the surface of
understanding how the body absorbs and uses these
different structures," she said.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist
at the pH Miracle Center suggests, "pro-anthocyanins are
some of the best chelators or buffers of dietary and
metabolic acids. Pro-anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants
helping to maintain the alkalinity of the body fluids
and thus protecting the cells from premature
fermentation. Pro-anthocyanins are found in great
abundance in all of the dark green, blue, and purple
fruits and vegetables."

Dr. Young has created a powerful formulation of
dark colored super fruits called "pHruits" for
providing a concentration of pro-anthocyanidins.
