In this article, out yesterday, it is claimed that jam can help to curb the process of cancer.
Apparantly, the pectin found in jam causes the cancer cells to ‘commit suicide’ (apoptosis), thus reducing tumours, up to 40% in some instances.
However, the sugar content is still a cause for concern and it is recommended to stick to the daily allowance of a few dollops a day.
So unless you take the pectin supplement available at health stores, I’m not sure what use it is.
