Several studies done in the last several years show that oil from the leaves
of the very plant sold as a spice for flavoring can help prevent the
development of cancerous tumors in laboratory animals. One study, led by
Chi-Tang Ho, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Food Science at Rutgers
University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, showed that applying rosemary oil
to the skin of experimental animals reduced their risk of cancer to half
that found in animals that did not receive the application of oil. In other
studies by the same research team, animals whose diets contained some
rosemary oil had about half the incidence of colon cancer or lung cancer
compared with animals not eating rosemary.
