A collection of Dr Greger videos summarizing research into berries and cancer. I found some of these videos remarkable! Especially the one with strawberries and black raspberries.

Strawberries

Overview article: (2013) Strawberries Can Reverse Precancerous Progression by Dr Greger.

Excerpts from the video below:

This is one of the most important papers I’ve seen recently. Why isn’t this headline news? If there were instead some new drug that reversed cancer progression, you can bet it would be all over the place. But who’s going to profit from revelations about berries? Other than, of course, the millions of people at risk for this devastating cancer.
