Researchers at Columbia University recently analyzed the positive effects of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) on human and mouse prostate cancer cell lines. The results, as reported by lead researcher Dr. Aaron Katz in the most recent publication of Integrative Cancer Therapies(1), show that MCP inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent cancer cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. “Along with diet, exercise and lifestyle changes, MCP helps my patients keep the cancer at bay and slows its growth, thereby reducing its negative impact on their life,” says Dr. Geo Espinosa, Director of the Integrative Urology Center at NYU.
