Ohio State researchers are testing meals as medicine in an effort to increase understanding of cancer prevention through nutrition.

Members of the study team are testing foods formulated for the prevention of certain types of cancers, including blueberries, black raspberries and soy pretzels.

Among researchers’ goals is to help increase consumers’ access to foods that are absorbed and processed by the body in ways that can potentially reduce the risk of cancer.

“We hope to translate these out to the consumers and to the market. You want to make sure that consumers are able to get them and eat them,” Yael Vodovotz, PhD, says. “Our goal in the long run is to have them there with other potential drugs to help with prevention.”
