Raspberries
are
highly recommended for breast cancer
Raspberries are rich in phenolic phytochemicals, including ellagitannin and anthocyanins, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive, antiproliferative and proapoptic effects. Raspberries are also a good dietary source of the lignan enterolactone.
Breast cancer-related effects of
eating
raspberries
Raspberry powder has been shown to have antiproliferative effects when fed to female rats prone to mammary tumors. Black raspberries appear to have more cancer-preventative chemicals than the closely-related red raspberries.
Additional comments
Non-organic raspberries must be washed very thoroughly to remove pesticide residue. Loganberries are a hybrid cross between between a blackberry and a raspberry.
