Strawberries versus Esophageal Cancer

A randomized phase 2 clinical trial on the ability of strawberries to reverse the progression to esophageal cancer.

This is one of the most important papers I’ve seen recently. Why isn’t this headline news?

Other than, of course, the millions of people at risk for this devastating cancer.

The Ornish study to which I referred is Cancer Reversal Through Diet?

I touched previously on esophageal cancer in Bacon and Botulism (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bacon…) and Poultry and Penis Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/poult…).
