A Natural Cancer Inhibitor--Does It Taste Good?
Many folks, when eating oranges or grapefruit, discard the white pulp. "It doesn't taste good," they say. Science says a bit facetiously, "Eat the pulp and discard the rest."

Unquestionably, pulp is somewhat bitter compared to the juice of the fruit. However, if it tastes bad to you, it positively kills tumor cells!

Present in lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit, the chemicals, collectively called limonoids, have been shown experimentally by Drs. Guthrie, et al.,* to kill human breast cancer cells. Okay, so the juice wasn't bad either.

We must at this time pay homage to our old friend, Dr. Ken Carroll, the deceased former head of nutrition at W. Ontario U. We miss you, Ken.
