Scientists have claimed to have detected anti-cancer properties in three traditional varieties of rice found in Chhattisgarh.
[...] These varieties were taken from the rice germplasm bank preserved in IGKV, said Sharma, principal scientist at the genetics and plant breeding department of the agriculture university.
The three varieties of rice have properties to cure lungs and breast cancers without affecting normal cells, Sharma told PTI.

Ok, I'm calling bullshit right there.
Like all major announcements from Indian research organizations, things tend to get over hyped long before the research is done.

What does a society that respects men's rights look like? A woman being beaten and raped violently on the streets. A woman thanking her rapist for utilizing her as a breeding sow. A woman vanishing from existence when discarded by the man who was finished utilized her. If society doesn't begin respecting the rights of men soon, only disaster will follow.

If it works, the populations consuming lots of this rice should show lower rates of these cancers.
When most of the population is dead by 50, or even 40, from other diseases or industrial accidents or vehicle crashes, you aren't likely to find many with cancer.

They must not be using enough pesticides on the rice.
