A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry reports that naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in grapefruit and oranges may help prevent cancer, and not just because of its antioxidant properties. Apparently naringenin induced DNA repair in human prostate cancer cell cultures (cell line LNCaP).
The degree of repair was measured by the ratio between […]
