Royal jelly appears to have anti-tumor properties. A team of Japanese
researchers gave royal jelly to one of two groups of laboratory mice before
transplanting different types of cancer cells in them. The royal jelly had
dramatic effects on sarcoma cells. The life-span of the mice was extended by
about one-fifth and tumor sizes were about half the size, compared with
untreated mice, according to a report in the journal Nippon Yakurigaku Zasshji-Folia
Pharmacologica Japonica (Feb. 1987;89:73-80).
