Ginger ale, anyone?
Vegetarian Times, March, 2004
Dietary ginger appears to inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer calls, say University of Minnesota researchers, whose findings were presented to the American Association of Cancer Research in Phoenix in October 2003. The active ingredient is gingerol, which also gives ginger its distinctive flavor, says Ann Bode, assistant professor at the university.
Rodentian subjects given thrice-weekly feedings of gingerol showed slower rates of cancer growth than those that did not receive the feedings. "We really don't know how much gingerroot you would have to eat to get the same effect," Bode admits, adding that many people consume high levels of ginger with no reported toxicity.
