귤껍질에 함유된 Salvestrol Q40 이 암세포가 함유한 P450 CYP1B1 효소를 파괴하는 것을 발견했다고 합니다. 이 연구소는 인류가 과일껍질을 먹지 않기 시작한 것과 각종 암의 발생이 증가한 것을 연관짓기까지하고 있는데요. 중요한 사실은 이 귤껍질을 먹으면 암을 치료하는 효과가 있다는 것을 검증하려면 몇년이 걸린다고 되어있습니다. 그런데도 검증안된 이 사실을 이용해 먹으려 할 일부 건강식품업체들이 곧 등장할 것이라는 사실...

LONDON (Reuters) - Tangerine peel could help in the fight against certain cancers, researchers said on Wednesday.
Human cancer cells, which contain an enzyme called P450 CYP1B1, were destroyed by a compound contained in tangerine peel, Salvestrol Q40, scientists at Leicester School of Pharmacy found.
The findings may offer a new approach to uncovering a treatment for cancers such as breast, lung, prostrate and ovarian cancer, the scientists said.
Medicinal chemist Dr. Hoon L. Tan said: "It is very exciting to find a compound in food that can target cancers specifically.
"Salvestrols may offer a new mechanism of dietary anti-cancer action.
"Indeed, the depletion of salvestrols in the modern diet is due to the fact that many people no longer eat the skin of fruits and this may be a major contributory factor to the increasing incidence of some cancers in the human population."
The breakthrough was being presented at the British Pharmaceutical Conference held in Manchester.
But he warned that the research was still in its early days and many tests will be needed before reaching the clinical trial stage, which could take between five and seven years.
The researchers have formed a private company, Nature's Defence Investments, to protect and promote their research, with the potential of designing a natural anti-cancer alternative based on the new technology.
