Nutrition Education Hasn't Reached the Ivory Tower
I am not a medicine basher. But I am frustrated by the near exclusive focus on new and expensive technologies in medicine over scientifically-proven lifestyle measures that are immediately accessible and inexpensive. This lack of attention to lifestyle permeates my field of cardiology but I was struck by how it appears to be true for cancer therapy also.
I had the opportunity to strike up a conversation on an airplane last week with two prominent researchers in prostate cancer, one a urologist and one a scientist. Both served as department heads at large institutions. Although I do not keep up on all the literature on pr...

Pomegranate-date cocktail a day keeps the doctor away
Pomegranates and dates are delicious, increasingly trendy, and healthy to boot. As it turns out, when consumed together they are a winning combination in the war against heart disease. The researchers conclude that people at high risk for cardiovascular diseases, as well as healthy individuals, could benefit from consuming the combination of half a glass of pomegranate juice (4 ounces), together with 3 dates. Ideally, the pits should be ground up into a paste and eaten as well, but even without the pits, the combination is better than either fruit alone. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

Ellagic Acid May Slow Growth of Some Cancer Tumors
Ellagic acid is a, ‘phytochemical,’ or plant chemical that is found in strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, pecans, walnuts, pomegranates and other plant foods. Research in laboratory animals and cell cultures has discovered that ellagic acid might slow the rate of growth of some tumors caused by certain carcinogens. Even though this is promising, there remains no reliable evidence at this time from human clinical studies showing that ellagic acid has the ability to either prevent or treat forms of cancer. Additional research is required in order to determine what benefits it may have. (Source: Disabled World)
