Study: Natural compounds in turmeric, grapes and apples STARVE prostate cancer cells
A study has identified ursolic acid (from apple peels), curcumin (from turmeric) and resveratrol (from grapes/berries) as the most effective natural compounds in starving prostate cancer cells by blocking their consumption of glutamine – a critical nutrient for tumor growth.
While individually limited, combining ursolic acid with either curcumin or resveratrol showed significant cancer-fighting potential without toxic side effects – unlike chemotherapy and radiation.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in U.S. men, and this study offers a promising plant-based alternative to conventional treatments, which often harm healthy cells.
Despite centuries of evidence, pharmaceutical interests (since Rockefeller’s era) have marginalized natural remedies in favor of profitable, patented drugs – even as research confirms compounds like resveratrol combat multiple cancers.
Incorporating turmeric, apples (with peels), berries and grapes may help prevent prostate cancer, but such solutions are underfunded due to threats they pose to the lucrative cancer drug industry.
