Saliva and common body proteins contain compounds that may fend off DNA-damaging chemicals

A compound in saliva, along with common proteins in blood and muscle, may protect human cells from powerful toxins in tea, coffee and liquid smoke flavoring, according to results of a new study led…

DNA-Damaging Toxins Discovered In Common Plant-Based Foods – Liquid Smoke, Black And Green Teas And Coffee

In a laboratory study pairing food chemistry and cancer biology, scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center tested the potentially harmful effect of foods and flavorings on the DNA of cells. They found that liquid smoke flavoring, black and green teas and coffee activated the highest levels of a well-known, cancer-linked gene called p53…
