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.

    You can't sell rice for $10/pill. Rice is dirt cheap, in fact, it's cheaper than dirt sometimes. Seriously, go to home depot and look at how much potting soil costs.

    You're not buying dirt when you buy potting soil. You're buying that "special blend" of chemicals, etc. that's premixed in that "bag of dirt". A bag of top soil by comparison is really cheap.
