University of Kentucky in Philadelphia: Grapeseed extract 'can destroy leukaemia cells'

A supplement made from grape seeds can destroy leukaemia cells, say scientists.

In laboratory experiments, commercially-available grapeseed extract forced the cancer cells to commit suicide. Within 24 hours, 76% of leukaemia cells exposed to the extract died through a process of natural self-destruction called apoptosis.

Healthy cells were unharmed. The US researchers believe the discovery could open the door to promising new treatments.
