Scientists find super fruits key to mouth cancer

icWales: "SUPER fruits like blueberries, blackberries and papaya could be used to stop mouth cancer cells spreading through the rest of the body. They could also reduce the risk of mouth cancer, according to research published in the Journal of Cancer Research. The study, carried out at the University of Hong Kong, found that as well as suppressing the spread of cancer, a substance called lupeol found in blueberries and other “super fruit” also reduced the size of the tumour three times faster than conventional drugs."
