Resveratrol Cancer:
Resveratrol has been shown to prevent cancer formation and prolong lifespan.
Resveratrol has been shown to prevent cancer formation and prolong lifespan but the mechanism is
not fully understood. Researchers studied liver cancer cells in the laboratory to evaluate resveratrol induced changes in cell growth,
cell cycle progression and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Resveratrol at lower concentrations induced a strong S-phase cell cycle division delay and mild DNA synthesis
without causing apoptosis or necrotic cell death.
Resveratrol at high concentrations induced apoptosis (normal cancer cell death).
Researchers hypothesize the S-phase cell cycle delay may represent a useful mechanism for lifespan prolongation and
cancer prevention. When cell cycles are slowed down in the S-phase it would increase the total lifespan of an
organism if the total numbers of cell divisions are assumed to remain basically constant. When cells proceed
through cell cycles at a reduced pace during DNA replication, it may allow cells more time to repair the damaged
DNA, and reduce the chances for tumor initiation.

Natural Cancer Treatment Pearl
The DNA in our cells have a telomere. Each time a cell divides the telomere is
shortened. Eventually the telomere is used up and the cells no longer divide or grow in a normal fashion and the
cells die. This is called apoptosis or programmed cell death.
Some nutrients, including antioxidants from fruits and
vegetables, lifestyle and yet be understood situations allow an enzyme, telomerase, to add to the telomere and
lengthen the number of times a cell can divide and reproduce itself. This may allow an organism or animal to live
longer. Expect numerous telomere studies to be published in the next few years.
You don't have to wait. Resveratrol appears to prolong life at
low doses and treat cancer at high doses. Purified Trans- Resveratrol or methylated psterostilbene products offer
the best sources of resveratrol. Click here to see what 60 Minutes New Program
