An apple peel a day might keep cancer at Bay Theapple has always been in the spotlight when it comes to healthbenefits, but according to researchers at Cornell University, thefruit's peel may have the potential of keeping cancer at bay. Rui HaiLiu, Cornell's Associate Professor of Food Science, has identified adozen compounds called Triterpenoids in an apple peel that eitherinhibit or kill cancer cells during laboratory cultures.
"Wefound that several compounds have potent anti-proliferative activitiesagainst human liver, colon and breast cancer cells and may be partiallyresponsible for the anti-cancer activities of whole apples," said Liu,who is affiliated with Cornell's Institute of Comparative andEnvironmental Toxicology and is the senior author of the study. Inearlier studies, apples had been found not only to fight cancer cellsin the laboratory, but also to reduce the number and size of mammarytumours in rats. But now, Cornell researchers think that theTriterpenoids may be doing much of the anti-cancer work.
