Fisetin: A Natural Fist against Cancer

What can be better than fighting cancer by eating fruits you enjoy? Now, a new research shows that Fisetin, a dietary compound found in strawberries and kiwis, can have a beneficial effect in fighting cancer. This compound is not widely publicized as Resveratrol, however, there are already dietary supplements on the market that includes Fisetin. There is no need for prescription for dietary supplements and it's easier to get dietary supplements to the market compared to drugs. Also, there is no need for prescription for dietary supplements. It remains to be seen whether Fisetin can prevent or cure cancer in the long term.
