Prof. Dr. Turan Karadeniz stated that it would be beneficial to consume blackberries against cancer and said, “Research has shown that blackberries prevent the growth of cancer and tumor cells.”
Explaining that blackberries contain 'ellagic acid' and that research has shown that this acid inhibits the growth of cancer and tumor cells, Prof. Dr. Karadeniz said, “In studies conducted in laboratory environments, it has been observed that ellagic acid prevents the onset of cancer. Blackberries, which contain plenty of ellagic acid, are therefore very useful against cancer. It will be beneficial to consume blackberries against cancer, which have been shown by research to prevent the growth of cancer and tumor cells.”
