Black raspberries may help prevent esophageal cancers, according to a study with laboratory rats. Researchers at Ohio State University fed rats different types of extracts from black raspberries. Fractions rich in anthocyanidins, a family of antioxidants that give black raspberries their dark color, reduced the risk of cancer. However, other constituents of black raspberries were also protective, leading the researchers to write that "components other than berry anthocyanidins may be chemopreventive." Wang LS. Cancer Prevention Research, 2009;2:84-93. | ||
