I guess they just have to get than venom out there.

But just maybe, fear overcame them and then the venom flowed, "Cuz they can't handle the truth", as was once famously said.....

Just do a search on grape and cancers

And many links come up.

So many non believers and naysayers around here, it's truly amazing. So many tightly closed minds...
Ive been eating and drinking grape products all my 71 years and as yet no cancer ,so i guess it works.

Well, let's PreSume that is working in that area of your body. I bank on my Grape Seed Extract and have eaten grapes in my lifetime but the powerful capsule is my "go to".

You do realize that the 1-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 20% NOW and she was originally diagnosed something like 10 years ago. She is also 86 and that was her second cancer. By all standards, I think she is doing extremely well.

I meant it as wonder if she took antioxidants ever in her life for prevention. As I've mentioned before 3 people in my life didn't make it with their cancers and I had talked for years before about antioxidants and prevent. Seems like so many fear antioxidants.

No body fears antioxidants.


Most people prefer to get a variety of them via FOOD.

Knowing that Ruth is a well educated extremely intelligent woman, I think it is very likely she is in fact very aware of the research that shows that anti oxidants offer little to no protection against cancers of any type and in certain cases may actually accelerate cancer growth

"Overall, these nine randomized controlled clinical trials did not provide evidence that dietary antioxidant supplements are beneficial in primary cancer prevention. "
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/...nts-fact-sheet

"Today, however, a new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting these supplements actually have a harmful effect in one serious disease: cancer."
https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...-cancer-worse/

"Randomized, placebo-controlled trials—which, when performed well, provide the strongest evidence—offer little support that taking vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, or other single antioxidants provides substantial protection against heart disease, cancer, or other chronic conditions. The results of the largest such trials have been mostly negative."
