Wine Wheat Help Prevent Colon Cancer

Ate a little flour a cool dry wine can help prevent colon cancer, this is a study conducted by researchers from the University of California, Irvine. 

The research team led by Dr. Randall Holcombe found that taking 80 grams of flour wine per day, equal to a glass of wine or 1 pound of grapes, capable of reducing the signs of Wnt that is a symptom associated with 85 percent of sporadic colon cancer. 

"This is really amazing, because this invention provides the understanding that the principal zak contained in wine could inhibit and stop the symptoms related to the growth of colon cancer before the tumor was successfully grow," Holcombe said as quoted by UPI. 

The researchers found the same changes were not seen in studies involving participants who ate 120 grams of flour wine. Thus, this deterrent effect will be felt if only ate a little flour wine per day.

The researchers could not ascertain why the lower dose of grape powder was more effective than higher doses. But they believe the active ingredients in the wine can give a different effect if only in small doses than large doses. This is something that is commonly found in studies of nutrition. 

Holcombe presented the results of these findings in the fourth meeting of the International Conference for Integrative Oncology in San Francisco on 16 November yesterday. According to him, colon cancer is one of the world's killer, with figures more than half a million people die per year from the disease. approximately 7 percent of all Americans suffer from this cancer in their lives. 

Dr. Randall Holcombe who is also director of clinical research at the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, Irvine conducted a study involving patients with colon cancer. He divided respondents into three research groups, namely the first group given a dose of 20 milligrams, group two (120 grams), and three groups of nutrients are given 80 grams per day. Chemical content is indeed resveratrol found in grape skin, fruit wine, and peanuts. 

This study was an epidemiological survey involving some experts, like Dr. Jason Zell, assistant professor at UC Irvine Medical, Dr. Hoda Anton Culver, Program Director Cancer Survelians UC Irvine. In this study involving 499 patients with their colon cancer. They found that consumption of wine just before the growth of cancer can develop resistance to colon cancer, although there is a history in the family affected by this disease. 

The researchers found that 75 percent of these patients still survive and live well, after 10 years of first diagnosis. This compared with 47 percent of patients who did not regularly drink wine. The study is published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer October 2007 issue. 

"Our study found that consumption of wine can affect one's resistance against the symptoms of colorectal cancer, especially those with families who have a history of this disease. These findings could reflect unique genetic and environmental interactions among families of patients with colorectal cancer," said Jason Zell as ScienceDaily quoted. 

Studies of this wine is supported by the California Table Grape Commission and the UCLA Bionutrition Unit.
