Ellagic acid is high in Phytonutrients for Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Anticarcinogenic Protection. Raspberries anthocyanins give these delicious red-berries particular antioxidant properties, together with antimicrobial power, including the capacity to counter overdevelopment of some bacteria and fungi in the body (i.e. the yeast Candida albicans, which often is a factor in vaginal infections and could be a conferring cause in irritable bowel syndrome). Ongoing research suggests that raspberries may have cancer protective properties. Research with animals has suggested that raspberries have have the potential to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and tumor formation in various parts of the body, including the colon. The tests reveal similar results for breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon, and prostate cancer cells. In addition, positive responses are observed in: periodontal disease, radiation induced chromosomal damage, slowing the degenerative process of aging, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetic retinopathy. |
