New Study: Resveratrol Helps Prevent Breast Cancer

New research into the health benefits of resveratrol continue. The latest comes out of the Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. This new research published in the July 2008 edition of Cancer Prevention Research shows that resveratrol inhibits can cancer formation in Breast tissue. An excerpt from the study follows:

Resveratrol decreased estrogen metabolism and blocked formation of DNA adducts in cells treated with TCDD and/or estradiol. Resveratrol also suppressed TCDD and/or estradiol-induced cell transformation. Thus, resveratrol can prevent
breast cancer initiation by blocking multiple sites in the estrogen genotoxicity
pathway

The body of evidence continues and expands as to the positive effects of resveratrol on the human body. As with other recent research, this latest study shows that megadoses of resveratrol were not required to gain the anti-cancer benefits.
