This research deals with the chemical interactions between compounds found in foods and the body’s cells and DNA, and it shows that the addition of these foods to the diet can reap benefits at any stage of life.<br> <br> * * *</font> </p> </b> <p><b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Send us a <a href="mailto:editor@world-science.net">comment</a> on this story, or <a href="mailto:?Body=http://www.world-science.net/othernews/051029_cancerlistfrm.htm">send it to a friend</a></font></b> </p> <p>  </center> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
