Greetings from Jeff Kelley, DDS!

A Berry Good Proposition: Black Raspberries May Fight Oral Cancer

In the mood for something sweet? Consider a handful of black raspberrie=
s=2E Researchers at Ohio State's James Cancer Hospital have shown that =
black raspberries may not only help prevent colon and esophageal cancer=
, but help battle oral cancer as well=2E Lab tests show that this delic=
ious fruit reduced tumors on the mouth by up to 44 percent=2E Unfortuna=
tely, there are a couple of problems=2E=2E=2E

First off, black raspberries are very difficult to come by in your regu=
lar grocery story, even when in season=2E Having access to them year-ro=
und could be quite a task =2ESecond, studies show you would have to eat=
 about 4 whole cups a day to enjoy the full health benefits=2E Very few=
 of us actually eat the recommended 5 servings a day of fruit=2E Findin=
g the time, and stomach, to eat 4 cups of raspberries could be difficul=
t, no matter how delicious they are=2E

Fortunately, scientists are working on a solution: lozenges=2E They hop=
e that concentrating the cancer-fighting chemicals in black raspberries=
 into more manageable lozenges will prove to be as successful in the fi=
ght against oral cancer as eating the whole fruit (though nutritionists=
 will tell you the whole fruit is always better for you)=2E If research=
ers find that certain genes respond to the berry extract in them, it co=
uld someday mean a simple new way to fight cancer=2E They would also be=
 available year-round=2E

It should be noted that fruit is part of a healthy diet, and therefore =
good for your teeth=2E Highly acidic fruits, like lemons, can actually =
harm tooth enamel, however, so try to rinse your mouth out with warm wa=
ter or brush your teeth after you eat them=2E Also, stay away from high=
-sugar snacks, like candy and soda (and yes, even black raspberry cobbl=
er)=2E
