How does ginger help to prevent cancer?
As Dr. Servan-Schreiber states (Anti-Cancer, page 121), “Ginger root also acts as a powerful antiinflamatory and an antioxidant… It acts against certain cancer cells. Moreover, it helps reduce the creation of new blood vessels.” (New blood vessels are necessary for the cancer to grow and spread.)
