Scientists have discovered why antioxidants - or plant chemicals - in red wine called polyphenols stop the growth of prostate cancer.
According to the report, published online in the FASEB Journal, explain how the polyphenols disrupt an important cell signalling pathway that's essential for prostate cancer growth. Polyphenols in green tea, say the scientists, have the same effect.
The discovery is important, as it could lead to new drugs that could stop or slow down the progression of the disease.
Meanwhile, researchers at the University of California have identified substances in pomegranate juice that could stop prostate cancer from spreading to the bone (metastasis). Ingredients in pomegranate juice called phenylpropanoids as well as flavones and conjugated fatty acids, they say, have been shown in lab tests to have cancer-inhibiting activities. Again, the discovery could lead to newer, and more effective, prostate cancer drugs.
