Ellagic Acid may be very useful to fight Cancer.
Ellagic Acid, a phenolic compound has been proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen, and anti-cancer initiator.Clinical tests also show that ellagic acid prevents the destruction of the p53 gene by cancer cells.
Some studies suggest that one of the mechanisms by which ellagic acid inhibits mutagenesis and carcinogenesis is by forming adducts with DNA, thus masking binding sites to be occupied by the mutagen or carcinogen.
