on Chlorophyllin

"The risk of liver, colon, stomach, and lung cancer which include the leading causes of cancer death in the US and the world, may easily be cut in half by appropriate daily intake of simple, safe, inexpensive chlorophyll derivatives."
 Dr. Richard C. Heimsch

Our study shows that taking Chlorophyllin three times a day reduced the amounts of aflatoxin-DNA damage by 55 percent, compared with taking a placebo,” says Thomas Kensler, PhD, professor of environmental health sciences at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Taking Chlorophyllin or eating green vegetables, like spinach, that are rich in chlorophyll may be a practical way of reducing the risk of liver cancer and other cancers caused by environmental triggers,” explains Dr. Kensler."

Alfalfa Fights Colon Cancer

Sep 28, 2001 12:00 PM, Iowa State University

A chemical in genetically modified alfalfa may help prevent colon cancer, says an Iowa State University researcher.

Diane Birt, director of Iowa State’s Center for Designing Foods to Improve Nutrition, is working with an alfalfa modified at the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation. It’s high in resveratrol glucoside, which helps protect plants from field rot during wet periods.

"Although the alfalfa was developed for agronomic reasons, data in the literature suggested that resveratrol … can prevent skin cancer," says Birt. "We decided to look at how it works in the diet to prevent colon cancer."

Working with mice, she found that the chemical prevents colon cancer at a very early stage. She plans to apply for a grant to fund further studies.

Birt is a leading researcher in the use of plant constituents to prevent chronic diseases and promote good health. She recently was honored by the American Association of Cancer Research for her work.
