Rosemary Kills 94% of Prostate Cancer Cells in Vitro: An extract of the common herb rosemary was shown to kill 94% of two types of prostate cancer cells (LNCaP and 22Rv1) in this just-published study. When given to mice orally, the extract suppressed prostate tumor growth by a remarkable 46% after 21 days. Rosemary contains several active compounds which potently fight cancer, such as carnosic acid, rosmarinic acid, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and cineole. The extract used in this study was standardized to contain 43% carnosic acid. Rosemary is a herb which is native to the Mediterranean region and used extensively in Mediterranean cuisine. Some researchers have theorized that this could help explain the lower incidence of cancer there (in addition to their very high vegetable and fruit intake). Rosemary is now being extensively studied for its anticancer potential and has already shown promising activity against breast cancer and colon cancer in other lab studies. This super herb also has anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties which are so strong and well-established that the European Union has recently approved of the use of natural rosemary extracts as food preservatives. Imagine preservatives that actually fight cancer!
