Health Benefit Of Raspberries....A Powerful Cancer Fighting Juicy Sweet Little Berry
Health Benefit of Raspberries
Did you know? If we really want to be pedantic, then raspberries are not classed as a berry at all. Instead they're are an 'aggregate' fruit..as each raspberry is made up of lots of tiny fruits.Ok, we have sorted that one out, now down to the healthy stuff..! A real summer favorite with a juicy sweet succulent taste...and how good and tasty in jams are they? But there is more.
Raspberries also contain bioflavonoids called anthrocyanins and ellagic acid...which are powerful antioxidants. Did you know that raspberries are thought to have 10 times (yes 10 times) more antioxidants than tomatoes or broccoli? They are also found to contain some specific antioxidants that are found almost nowhere else. I'll explain..... Approximately 50% of the antioxidant effect of raspberries is caused by ellagitannins (cancer fighters). Where else can you find ellagitannins? Well, strawberries and walnuts have them in small doses....and that's it, practically nowhere else can they be found.
You know those little red seeds in raspberries? Well thanks to them, they provide high amounts of insoluble fibre as well as good amounts of of the soluble fibre, pectin...which helps to control cholesterol levels. Raspberries..Fighting Lung Cancer in WomenRaspberries along with other berries are being used to fight lung cancer in women. Results from laboratory studies on mice have already been positive and shown that berries stop the growth of cancer. Now it's the turn of us humans to be experimented on for similar benefits. Patients are given a dose daily of 40g of berries such as blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and of course raspberries. The cancer-preventing effects are believed to be down to a compound called ellagic acid, which regulates oestrogen levels.Note-Oestrogen is linked to tumor growth. There is a seperate trial in Canada that is determining whether raspberries can lower bad cholesterol.
