Anybody like strawberries?

I have a HS friend who died of esophageal cancer last year. He made it- for a year or two after diagnosis- with radical treatments and their SEs of course . I wish I had known to tell him about this. Who knows, it might have helped a bit. If not, at least he could have enjoyed a lot of strawberries as part of his diet. Now before anyone gets fired up, before this goes into esophageal cancer it discusses prostate cancer. And who knows, it might be at least remotely possible these berries might be good for both. But if you like strawberries(I love em) you might find this video interesting.

This is one of the most important papers I've seen recently. Why isn't this headline news? If there was instead some new drug that reversed cancer progression, you can bet it would be all over the place. But who's going to profit from revelations about berries? Other than, of course, the millions of people at risk for this devastating cancer.

EDIT: here is the text to go with the video:

strawberries are a regular component in my smoothies. My kids call it my "special drink" and they like it too!

Looks like strawberries can help guys in more ways than one!

What fun that was! Boont Farm in a boda bag at Red Rocks colliseum watching the Moody Blues. When I first moved to CA I thought that's what red wine was supposed to taste like . Boy was my first sip of Pinot Noir a big surprise!

I despise strawberries so nothing much to add here....

But like Life and Shop my mid to late 70's had it's share of Boones Farm, Strawberry included. I think they had 3 flavors and each added uniquely to some of the worst hangovers we ever had. Kept going back for more though and we loved brown bagging it. Ahhh the memories (and the loss thereof, lol). Definitely a teen rite of passage for me and my friends.

75 people, Freeze dried strawberries "and the progression of disease was reversed in 80 percent of the high dose strawberry treatment."

Thats a wow

I agree this may very well have helped your friend.

If he was around now and just getting started with that cancer, I'd sure be telling him. In fact, today I did e-mail the link to yet another HS friend who has been having some esophageal scares. I feel pretty sure the worst SE is likely to be some strawberry seed caught in his teeth. And if it didn't help, at least he'd get to eat his fill of these berries. Which would be a good thing if he likes them. I believe the high dose was = to about a lb of strawberries daily! That's a bunch of berries! But only for 6 months, and if it kept you from needing surgery/chemo, or alive for a while? Worth a try for me if I ever have a pre Es. Ca scare!
