Baked rhubarb could help fight cancer

EATING British garden rhubarb baked for 20 minutes dramatically increases its levels of anti-cancerous polyphenols, and could lead to the development of new cancer treatments. The findings from academics at Sheffield Hallam University, together with the Scottish Crop Research Institute, were published in the journal Food Chemistry. The researchers now hope to use the results to study the effect of rhubarb's polyphenols on leukaemia. They aim to discover the best combination of polyphenols and chemotherapy agents to kill leukaemia cells, even those previously resistant to treatment. Previous research has focussed on Oriental medicinal rhubarb, which has been recognised for its health benefits and used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years.Air Jordan VI 6 Shoes
