Health Tip
Red Raspberries have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. They also contain strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C and gallic acid that fight against cancer, age-related decline and heart or circulatory disease.
Tests conducted at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina have revealed that the human body readily absorbs the ellagic acid from red raspberries. This ellagic acid has been clinically shown to cause the death of certain cancer cells.
