Ellagic Acid
Research in cell cultures and lab animals has found that ellagic acid may slow the growth of some tumors caused by certain carcinogens. While this is promising, at this time there is no reliable evidence from human studies showing that ellagic acid in any form can prevent or treat cancer.[1] Further research is needed to determine what benefits it may have, although Professor Gary Stoner from Ohio State University, referring specially to dark (black and blue) raspberries (in combination with anthocyanins) registered a patent on June 23, 2005 relating to fighting cancers and their metastases with ellagic acid.
