The results? It may be far superior to a chemotherapy agent with deadly side effects and dubious efficacy. Increasingly, an awareness of the power of commonly used traditional plants to prevent and even treat cancer is coming to the forefront. In fact, GreenMedInfo.com now houses one of the largest open access databases on the topic,...

New research suggests that maple syrup, despite being a concentrated source of “sugar,” possesses significant anti-cancer properties.  A provocative study published recently in the journal Oncology Reports reveals that a commonly used sweetener, maple syrup, inhibits the growth and invasion of human colorectal cancer cells. This finding may strike some readers as surprising considering just how much research now exists implicating processed sugars like fructose in a wide range of chronic diseases. For instance, take a look at the toxicological data on fructose’s role in over 80 adverse health effects on our Fructose research page. This study is all the more interesting considering a...

Today, the weight of evidence indicates that plants and not chemicals are the solution for reversing the global cancer epidemic. Our understanding of what causes cancer has undergone something akin to a Copernican revolution in the past decade.

Instead of looking for root cause...

Don’t forget to register for the groundbreaking documentary, The Truth About Cancer, that talks about this very subject! A new turmeric study published in Cancer Letters is paving the way for a revolution in the way that we both understand and treat cancer. Titled, “Targeting cancer stem cells by curcumin and clinical applications,” U.S. researchers evaluated the primary polyphenol in the Indian spice known as curcumin for its ability to target cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are believed to be at the root cause of tumor formation and malignancy. Whereas conventional models of cancer assumed that the majority of...
