Anyone else see the article on grape seed extract? They did a study and found it made cancer cells commit suicide on certain cancers. Have to do more tests, of course. Another article on the BBC health site said blueberries helped prevent bowel cancers.

    You know Marcia, I do
    You know Marcia, I do remember reading something about grape seed extract some time ago, I'm glad you brought it up, I'll have to look into it and see what it was. The BBC was a great source of info for me at one time, I'll have to check in again. Thanks Marcia, and a big Happy New Year to you :)

    baby aspirins
    Marilynn (also on this site) told me that she heard a doctor say two baby aspirins a day is supposed to prevent breast and colon cancer. Has anyone else heard this, and do you take the aspirins?

    2 baby aspirin
    Dr. Roisen, (sp) from the University of Chicago, author of the "Real Age" test and philosphy of aging, author of several books on the subject of aging, and sometime guest on the Oprah show, was on TV last night. One of the things he recommended was 2 baby aspirin or 1/2 of a whole regular aspirin vs. the 81mg a day dosage. He claimed that it not only helped the arteries but worked against breast and colon cancer. I'm going to his web site and going to ask my onc about this. Wouldn't this be a wonderful thing if it proved out to be helpful? Marilynn
