Ellagic Acid

Ellagic acid powerful antioxidant which neutralises carcinogens before they damage DNA.

Foods which have ellagic acid are strawberries, raspberries, grapes, guava,  blackberries, cherries, pomegranate, cranberries, pecans, and walnuts.

Strawberries are second only to garlic for anti-cancer properties by protecting cells from developing into cancer.

Ellagic Acid also protects against Aflatoxin which can be found in peanuts
