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.

No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

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.

Surely all you need to do is eat it, then?
Or doesn't that make enough money, you have to make a supplement or pill?

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.

You don't even need to eat it. Just throw it at people getting married. That should work.

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?
