[|Researchers Find That Chocolate Compound Stops Cancer Cell Cycle In Lab Experiments] April 18, 2005

 This article discussed chocolate being a probable way to fight getting cancer. Some of the compounds in different foods positively and negatively affect cancer cells. Pentamer which is a natural ingredient found in cocoa is known to deactivate proteins that cause a cancer cell to divide. Through research, scientists at Georgetown are not certain that eating chocolate with will prevent cancer completely or be the cure for cancer. Chocolate is made from cocoa beans which are extremely rich in antioxidants. The antioxidants are thought to protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules. The molecules are directly attributed to cancer and heart disease.

If they continue to study the relation of chocolate to cancer people will benefit immensely. More and more foods are being found everyday to help against the fight of cancer. Eventually, through the combinations of the right chemicals that help scientists may be able to find a cure to the deadly disease.
