Thanks for bringing up the Red Raspberry Ellagic acid, Friskers-
Thanks also for remembering that I posted about it- years ago.
The stuff can cure cancer so it's got to help us- I use the
Pomegranate for the most part due to the cost- but the ellagic
acid is what we need (found in both products).
Dr Nixon tested the Meeker Red Raspberries- lots of info out there
on the fact that he proved it cured and/or prevented cancer.
what is interesting is the ellagic as relates to a topic so often found
on this and other Morg boards:

TITLE: The effects of ellagic acid on arylamine N-acetyltransferase activity in the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
SOURCE: Drug Chem Toxicol; 22(3):555-62 1999 UI: 99374190
ABSTRACT: Arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was inhibited by ellagic acid (EA), a naturally occurring dietary plant phenol. By measuring the acetylation of 2-aminofluorene (2-AF), the NAT activity was determined. In P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, a NAT activity of 1.37 +/- 0.25 nmol/min/10(10) CFU for intact cell and a NAT activity of 5.92 +/- 0.20 nmol/min/mg protein for cytosolic preparation were measured. EA (ranging from 1 to 0.125 mM) showed a dose-dependent inhibition of NAT activities in the analysis of both intact cell and cytosolic preparations.
Enzymatic kinetics were determined and found that EA was a potent non-competitive inhibitor of NAT activity in P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853. EA inhibition of NAT activities in P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 was time-dependent for at least 4 hrs. These data strongly indicated that EA could suppress NAT activity in P. aeruginosa.
