Abstract

Breast Cancer and the lesser known fibroadenoma are one of the many problems that wreak havoc in the lives of countless women. Nutraceutical, the new buzz word in the food and medical sector offers promising solution to solve such problems and aid in its prevention as well. Is there solid evidence to prove that Nutraceuticals is the ultimate super food and does it live up to all the hype and hope that surrounds it? The following article addresses this issue and will reveal why our mothers have always fed us with horrible tasting greens and grains despite our vehement protest during meal times.
