00:00Scientists at Texas A&M University have found a potential cancer-fighting effect in dark-sweet
00:05cherries. Their study focused on anthocyanins, natural pigments that give cherries their deep
00:11red color. In mice with triple-negative breast cancer, these compounds were linked to slower
00:16tumor growth. Researchers also found less cancer spread to several organs, including the lungs.
00:22Anthocyanins also changed gene activity connected to metastasis and treatment resistance. The study
00:28tested anthocyanins alone, chemotherapy, and a combination of both approaches. Mice receiving
00:34the combination showed earlier slowing of tumor growth while maintaining body weight. However,
00:40these results are from animal research and do not prove cherries can treat cancer in people.
00:45Researchers say more studies are needed to understand safety, absorption, and potential
00:50use alongside cancer treatments. Disclosure. This video contains stock footage and content
