We often talk about how important fruits and vegetables in a healthy diet for the prevention of sickness and disease, and some actual research to support that claim may help. Whenever someone speaks about the benefits of a specific food, it has to be left fairly general because of not only the law about the use of some words (like 'cure' or 'treat'), but also the criticism that would result.

With that said, one specific food has been studied at Ohio State Univ and the effects it has on the body's cells. Some amazing findings, you'll agree -

COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research strongly suggests that a mix of preventative agents, such as those found in concentrated black raspberries, may more effectively inhibit cancer development than single agents aimed at shutting down a particular gene.

Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center examined the effect of freeze-dried black raspberries on genes altered by a chemical carcinogen in an animal model of esophageal cancer.

The carcinogen affected the activity of some 2,200 genes in the animals’ esophagus in only one week, but 460 of those genes were restored to normal activity in animals that consumed freeze-dried black raspberry powder as part of their diet during the exposure. Read more...

Note: There is much evidence that supports the many benefits that a diet filled with plenty of plant-based sources has on good health. As we become more high-tech with multi-trillion computation per second computers, we may soon discover the exact chemical and cellular reaction that takes place and why these phytonutrients are so important to the body. With such effects on the genes, it is clear that not just berries, but a variety of fruits and vegetables, are going to be the best natural fight against sickness and disease.
