'''Cranberries could help fight bowel cancer: Chemicals in the fruit found to reduce the size of tumours''' | |||

:• Scientists found the super fruit helped halve the size of tumours in tests | |||
:• Previous research found cranberry extracts could kill off colon cancer cells | |||
:• But researchers say the chemicals may not be found in cranberry juice | |||
Cranberries could be key to combating bowel cancer, according to a study offering new hope to sufferers of a disease that kills almost 16,200 people in the UK each year. | |||
Researchers generated three powdered cranberry extracts – a whole fruit powder, another containing only chemicals from the cranberry known as polyphenols, and a third with only the non-polyphenol components of the fruit. | |||
The extracts, equivalent to a cup of cranberries a day, were mixed into the meals of mice with colon cancer. | |||
After 20 weeks the mice given the whole cranberry extract had about half the number of tumours as mice that received no cranberry in their food. The remaining tumours in the cranberry-fed mice were also smaller. | |||
Furthermore, the cranberry extracts appeared to reduce the levels of inflammation markers in the mice. | |||
Researchers said the same benefits could not necessarily be drawn from cranberry juice which lacks some components in the skin. They hope to find out which individual components in the cranberry are responsible for its anti-cancer properties. | |||

"The antioxidant proanthocyanidins, which give cranberries their distinctive, bright red colour, are thought to support the production, and reduce the breakdown, of collagen, which may have an effect on skin elasticity and strength," says Filtness. | "The antioxidant proanthocyanidins, which give cranberries their distinctive, bright red colour, are thought to support the production, and reduce the breakdown, of collagen, which may have an effect on skin elasticity and strength," says Filtness. | ||
