New research findings published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry point to dangerous peril for cancer patients taking plant based antioxidants. Researcher Chen, et al, found that when severely diabetic rats were fed quercetin and ferulic acid (two antioxidants found in apples, onions and other produce) appeared to have aggravated kidney cancer.
This is what the press is reporting....but here's the important facts:
* One of the side effects to poorly controlled diabetes is kidney damage
* Quercetin and ferulic acid were isolated and concentrated - any time you pull out one major ingredient in a food, it creates an inbalance in the body
* Whole foods have been proved to be effective in the fight against cancer, so I would encourage EATING whole food products and avoiding dietary supplements containing isolated
If you can't get enough fruits and veggies (9-13 servings a day) consider a whole food based concentrate. I recommend and use Juice Plus+
