Scientists from Food Science Australia, a government-funded research body, have now demonstrated that natural foods sourced by Australian aboriginies aid in the fight against cancer. The fruits, in particular, found in bushland are high in anti-oxidants which are proven to help teh body resist cancer and other diseases.
They include red and yellow finger limes, Tasmanian pepper, brush cherry and the Molucca raspberry. Kakadu plums and Burdekin plums contained nearly five times the level of antioxidants as blueberries. Also, tests showed that the Kakadu plum, which is found in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, has the second-highest vitamin C level of any fruit in the world; up to three per cent of its dry weight.
