I read with interest an article in the London Lite today entitled "Eat your crusts to beat cancer." The article said that bread crusts may not make your hair curl - but scientists believe they can help prevent bowel cancer. An Indian research team found regular intake of crust chemical pronyl-lysine appears to halt pre-cancerous colon lesions.


This is yet to be seen. Similarly, research done on the tocotrienol content of palm oil also showed that it can prevent cancer from spreading. Red palm oil is one of the richest plant sources of cancer fighting squalene and heart protective Co Q10. It is the richest food source of two of the most important antioxidant nutrients - vitamin E nd beta-carotene. It is the premier source of tocotrienol that is gaining recognition as a powerful anti-cancer, heart protective antioxidant.
