For those holistic nutritionists who are a little more chemically-minded, the attached article has a more visual and chemical depiction of the relationship between the CYP 1B1 enzymes, found in all cancer cells, and Salvestrols which convert the enzyme to be a cancer cell killer. 

The attached articles discuss the relationship between Salvestrols and cancer including amazing case studies.

Anthony Daniels, Sunday keynote speaker at the Candidan Holisitic Nutirtion Conference with be discussing this in more detail as part of his work with researchers Dan Burke and Gerry Potter. 

The relationship of the CYP 1B1 enzyme, found only in cancer cells and Salvestrols, phytonutrients found in fruits and vegetables, is an important discovery all holistic nutritionists will find interesting.

Research suggests that Salvestrols are produced by plants in response to fungal infection, and are therefore most present at the sites where fungi are likely to attack. In fruits, this means on the skin, as the fruit is ripening. Salvestrol compounds are also present on the surfaces of the roots of many plants, as the roots are continually under threat from fungi in the soil.

It is estimated that we consume today about 10-20% of the Salvestrols which would have occurred in the diet 100 years ago. So, even though we are being urged to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, unless you eat organic you are unlikely to get sufficient Salvestrols from your diet.
