Antioxidant in ginkgo may protect cells from radiation damage, according to a study just published in the International Journal of Low Radiation. Antioxidant extracts of the leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree may protect cells in the human body from radiation damage. The discovery could offer a way to protect cancer patients from side effects produced by radiotherapy. Ginkgo biloba might also offer protection from medical tests that involve radiation, such as X-rays (from Natural News).
