Organic strawberries stop cancer cells
In laboratory tests at two Swedish universities, extracts from organic strawberries were even more effective in their cancer-suppressing effects (on colon and breast cancer cells) than were extracts from conventional strawberries. The study was publicized in 2006.
The researchers said they believe the benefits of organically grown foods have a lot to with activating the plant’s defense mechanisms to synthesize its own protective agents because synthetic pesticides are excluded. Compost as a soil supplement increased the level of antioxidant compounds in strawberries.
