Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Acknowledges The Anti-Cancer Properties Of Tahitian Noni...

Noni showed anticancer effects in laboratory studies...

The juice of the noni fruit has been traditionally used in Polynesian cultures as an anticancer agent. Scientists have isolated a fraction from noni juice that is rich in complex sugars. This fraction, alone and in conjunction with chemotherapy drugs, is able to increase the survival of laboratory mice that have been implanted with lung cancer. Scientists are unsure exactly how noni exerts this effect, but observe that it enhances certain aspects of the immune system. Furthermore, noni juice acts as an antioxidant and slows the transformation of normal cells to cancer cells in animal studies.
