Maybe those neurotoxins need further study... Maybe it has a positive effect on the right hemisphere of the brain that causes them to think up of all sorts of things...

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Chemicals found in onions and curry may help prevent colon cancer, a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine study suggests.

Published in the August issue of the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the study included five people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an inherited form of precancerous polyps in the lower bowel. FAP is characterized by the development of hundreds of colorectal polyps and eventual colon cancer.


For an average of six months, the patients received three daily oral doses of 20 milligrams of quercetin (an antioxidant found in onions) and 480 milligrams of curcumin (found in tumeric, one of the main ingredients of curry).


The average number of polyps in the patients declined by 60.4 percent, and the average size of the polyps decreased by 50.9 percent, the study said.
I wouldn't get too excited about this, next week they'll probably say that while curry prevents colon cancer, it increases the chances that your spleen will explode. [/list:u]

the anticancer properties of onions have been known for quite some time...as with garlic....since they're both from the allium family...

fuggin' idiots come out with some shiet like they discovered the best thing since sliced bread....and it's actually such old news, Moses wrote about it in the 11th commandment.

i love it how you hear about the health benefits of foods every so often but your TV is bombarded with pharameceutical commercials every three seconds treating problems from limp nose to restless ass syndrome...

btw, thanks for sharing the news....it's good to know about the luscious curry...dochira will be happy.

nothing is good for you until Madison Avenue gets a hold of the idea and markets it to the general public..

health benefits of pomegrantes have been known to the chinese for centuries, and now that Pom is advertising it, it's a new discovery.

yeah....good point....there was an article about pomegranates in the current issue of Newsweek...about the fools who were growing them on their land and ppl were bagging on them saying what the hell are you doing and the like......

...now those are the ppl who started POM WONDERFUL....and they're multi-millionaires....

who's laughin' now....as they drink the faux blood all the way to the bank...

btw, i love the Pomegranate Blueberry flavor....two sources of the most excellent antioxidants in the world. and the flavor is a little less tart and a bit sweeter cuz of the blues...
