“Black raspberries prevent the formation of blood vessels that feed developing cancers by reducing the production of growth factors for the cells that make up the blood vessels”. They also prevent the conversion of pre-malignant cells to malignant cells, and stimulate pre-cancerous cells to function normally again; or to die rather than grow.”

However, the study also indicated that once the tumors have already developed (papilloma stage), the berry diet had no effect on the development of the tumors or on the animals’ survival. In other words, black raspberries may help prevent, but not cure, such cancers.

Chocolate covered raspberries, anyone?
