The Benefits of Apples and Cranberries
This week I've dug out one of my favorite recipes, and who would have known it was healthy for your breasts. I know cranberries are healthy as well as apples but with further research I found these fruits are so much more.
The Food for Breast Cancer website says that cranberries have been studied to increase the effects of radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Cranberries also contain a high concentration of antioxidants.
Apples are also a great source of nutrition and antioxidants. There have been studies that prove the consumption of apples can reduce the size of mammary tumors and "increase the anti-cancer effects of the chemotherapy drug Taxol (paclitaxel)."
