Influential scientists such as research teams at the Hollings Cancer Institute (Medical University of South Carolina, USA) have been working with certain micro-nutrients and their impact on human health. Recent tests have been performed using  raspberries and specifically the micronutrient ellagic acid contained in the pulp and seeds.  Work with tissue cultures has shown that cancer cells (of many types) exposed to ellagic acid levels corresponding to specific amounts of eating fresh raspberries underwent a natural cell death.  This is incredibly important news, because the amount of raspberries needed to develop this level of ellagic acid was only one cup!
