    Also known as bitter gourd, it offers an easy cure for malaria and diabetes as well! I do wonder at times... why do most things that cure us, have to be bitter in taste? :confused:

    Anything bitter and not poisonous is apparently good for health. Meat = Acidic, Veggies = Alkalinic. Eat your veggies if you don't want to get cancer. :D

    veggies and fruits all carry good traits, but none known to be linked to cancer

    It would be nice for that to be true! I've heard so many stories about different things being able to cure cancer...I hope the scientists are doing their job :p

    I never saw this vegetable before but I'm guessing that it can be anti carcinogenic because many vegetables are also, like cabbage for example.

    Seems an interesting news I didnt know that aside from diabetes it has also therapeutic effect to cancer patients . Anyway it would be good news if its true since it doesnt cost that much and lot of people can afford it ..Although I dont like the after effect when eating it

    If your rich enough, aids/cancer isn't a problem in most cases.

    tat is not true, some of the richest people in the world die of aids and cancer because there is no cure...there are just very costly treatments to allow you to live a few extra years in stress and pain
