Black Raspberry
100% PURE SEEDLESS BLACK RASPBERRY FREEZE DRIED POWDER - KOSHER ![]()
WOW!!! is the word that comes to mind when you taste this amazing Seedless Black Raspberry powder.
This all natural, grown in the USA, berry is simply the best. One teaspoon of powder in an 8oz glass of water will give you an all natural sweet tasty drink with nothing added, just pure berries.
It takes 14 pounds of berries to make one pound of our freeze dried bulk powder and this amazing berry powder packs 2,200 ORAC in one teaspoon.
Like I said, WOW!!!
Black Raspberries have been studied for decades by researchers and medical scientists interested in the fruits' apparent ability to limit the onset or severity of degenerative diseases, including cancer.
The fruit of our popular berries are known to have strong antioxidant capacity, mainly as a result of high levels of anthocyaninschemicals that give plants their vibrant colors and other phenolic compounds. The darker the fruit, the more anthocyanins are present. Anthocyanins appear to work by inhibiting compounds that weaken the immune system and stimulate tissue inflammation. They can also destroy harmful free-radical molecules that attack cells and cause aging, heart disease, and cancer.

Black Raspberries have vitamins, minerals, phenols and phytosterols, many of which prevent cancer in animals.
Aug. 27, 2008 – A shotgun approach may be more effective than a rifle’s pin point accuracy, when it comes to stopping cancer growth. New research has found that a mix of preventative agents, such as those found in concentrated black raspberries, more effectively inhibit cancer development than single agents aimed at shutting down one particular gene.
Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center examined the effect of freeze-dried black raspberries on genes altered by a chemical carcinogen in an animal model of esophageal cancer.
The carcinogen affected the activity of some 2,200 genes in the animals’ esophagus in only one week, but 460 of those genes were restored to normal activity in animals that consumed freeze-dried black raspberry powder as part of their diet during the exposure.
These findings, published in recent issue of the journal Cancer Research, also helped identify 53 genes that may play a fundamental role in early cancer development and may therefore be important targets for chemoprevention agents.
"We have clearly shown that berries, which contain a variety of anticancer compounds, have a genome-wide effect on the expression of genes involved in cancer development," says principal investigator Gary D. Stoner, a professor of pathology, human nutrition and medicine who studies dietary agents for the prevention of esophageal cancer.
"This suggests to us that a mixture of preventative agents, which berries provide, may more effectively prevent cancer than a single agent that targets only one or a few genes."
Stoner notes that black raspberries have vitamins, minerals, phenols and phytosterols, many of which individually are known to prevent cancer in animals.
"Freeze drying the berries concentrates these elements about ten times, giving us a power pack of chemoprevention agents that can influence the different signaling pathways that are deregulated in cancer," Dr. Stoner says.
To conduct this study, Stoner and his colleagues fed rats either a normal diet or a diet containing 5 percent black-raspberry powder. During the third week, half the animals in each diet group were injected three times with a chemical carcinogen, N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine. The animals continued consuming the diets during the week of carcinogen treatment.
After the third week, the researchers examined the animals’ esophageal tissue, thereby capturing gene changes that occur early during carcinogen exposure. Their analyses included measuring the activity, or expression levels, of 41,000 genes.
In the carcinogen-treated animals, 2,261 of these genes showed changes in activity of 50 percent or higher.
"These changes in gene expression correlated with changes in the tissue that included greater cell proliferation, marked inflammation, and increased apoptosis," Stoner says.
In the animals fed berry powder, however, a fifth of the carcinogen affected genes – exactly 462 of them – showed near-normal levels of activity, when compared with controls. Most of these genes are associated with cell proliferation and death, cell attachment and movement, the growth of new blood vessels and other processes that contribute to cancer development.
The tissue also appeared more normal and healthy.
