UNIQUE GRAPE SKIN EXTRACT INHIBITS PROSTATE CANCER CELL GROWTH IN THE

LABORATORY

Laboratory experiments show that an extract of the skin of muscadine

grapes can inhibit growth of prostate cancer cells in the laboratory.

Even though MSKE had significant inhibitory effects on the prostate

cancer cells studied, it did not alter the growth rate of the normal

human prostate cells in the lab. Should muscadine grape skin extract

move on to trials in humans, since muscadine grape products have been

used in human studies without reported side effects, they may be

relatively safe for use in clinical trials.

ONLY 60% OF U.S. CONSUMERS TRUST THE SAFETY OF SUPERMARKET FOOD

In the year since three people died and more than 200 were sickened by

E. coli after eating contaminated raw spinach, and other reports have

surfaced about tainted pet foods, fish and peanut butter, food companies

are facing growing pressure to regain trust of consumers, whose

confidence in the safety of what they eat is at an 18-year low.

Companies have ramped up inspections, added food safety research budgets

and are updating systems to avoid a misstep.

STUDY INDICATES OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENTS RAPIDLY ELIMINATE ADD, ADHD AND

BIPOLAR DISORDER IN CHILDREN

EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make so must

be obtained through our diet or by supplements. An imbalance of omega-6

and omega-3 can result in an overall inflammatory response. Symptoms of

ADHD and related disorders are easily eliminated in 80 percent of

children within two weeks by merely supplementing with omega-3 oils and

eliminating processed foods (especially refined sugars) from kids'

diets.
