A naturally occurring antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables selectively kills leukemia cells without harming healthy cells, according to a new study. Researchers from the U. of Pittsburgh School of Medicine published their findings online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Both leukemia and lymphoma are types of cancer. According to the National Cancer Inst., 44,000 cases of leukemia will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2007 and some 22,000 leukemia-related deaths will occur in 2007.

Let's not forget this! I used to spit the seeds in every vegetable or fruit and now I chew them up as often as possible. Almost every non-surgical cure can be found in our own backyards. Nature is the most overlooked force of change.

You can't help but wonder whether or not if people just ate their recommended 9 portions of fruit and 7 glasses of water that the world would just be a whole lot healthier... even if i'm not exactly one for recommended knowledge from whatever health agency started churning out those facts in the past 20 or so years, i do approve of the fact that more often than not people are going for the BigMac instead of the melon.

Deadflag, i wouldn't say that nature was the most overlooked force of change - not to be contradictory or anything, but often people merely focus on the bigger things, without realising that there are small benefits too.

Blessed be the man who takes pleasure in the little things in life, or so 'they' say.
