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.

    The soylent summary was terrible and the only provided link is woefully short of any detail, and I can't seem to find a publication with these findings. Anybody have any luck "researching" for the actual paper?
