Brazilian Natural Dietary Components (Annatto, Propolis and Mushrooms) Protecting Against Mutation and Cancer
Hum Exp Toxicol, 2006 May;25(5):267-72
This review summarizes some of our studies conducted to verify the anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic potential of some Brazilian natural dietary constituents (annatto, mushrooms, and propolis). Overall data have shown a clear role for these compounds in preventing mutation and specific preneoplastic lesions. Taken together, these agents indicate a favorable side-effect profile and may prove to be a promising alternative for cancer prevention strategies, although more investigation is needed to fully explore this issue.
