Anticancer and Other Therapeutic Effects of Rosemary

Cancer cells have accelerated growth rates and resistance to apoptosis. Cancer cells develop the capacity to resist homeostasis, proliferate uncontrolled, and avoid programmed cell death/apoptosis due to mutations in important signalling molecules that control the pathways involved in cell survival and proliferation. Recently, the European Union (EU) and the Food and Drug Administration in the United States both approved rosemary extracts that were standardised to diterpenes (such as carnosic acid and carnosol) (FDA). The possibility of exposure to rosemary's diterpenes has increased as a result of its use in our food system and dietary choices (such as the Mediterranean Diet).
