Can You Clobber Cancer with Citrus?
Can You Clobber Cancer with Citrus?
“Happiness is good health and a bad memory.” Ingrid Bergman With good health and happiness on my mind today, I am compelled to write this column. In the habit of scouring cyberspace for bene- ficial ideas and practical medical research, I recently stumbled upon something that is good to know. I have determined to apply this in my own life immediately. Perhaps you might consider doing the same. It should be emphasized however that before you take medical or nutritional advice from a coffee-drinking typewriter nerd, it might be best to consult your own personal physician. But, with that being said, consider the following… In May of 2020, a research study was published by the National Institute for Health. This study presented evidence showing that citrus peelings exhibit anti-carcinogenic effects. Flavonoid compounds found in citrus peels have anti-cancer potential, affecting cellular processes including cell proliferation, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, metastasis, and angiogenesis. This is big news! Apparently, if you can ingest the good stuff in citrus peels (from oranges, lemons, grapefruit, etc.) you can help your body prevent and fight cancer. 07/10/2024 23:00

For the tri-county area, relief came in Beryl’s eye, moving more towards Katy at the last moments before landfall on July 8, at about 4 a.m. on the Gulf of Mexico coastline. Hurricane Beryl’s effects began to be felt at 10 p.m. on July 7. Although it’s considered the dry side that the area was on, much-needed rain came by the bucketful. However, along with the rain came the wind that gusted up to 70-plus miles an hour in some locations. 07/10/2024 23:00
