A diet rich in fruits and vegetables has been suggested to decrease the risk of colorectal cancer and the protective effects of these foods could probably be at least partly mediated by their polyphenolic compounds. The number of different polyphenols is huge and their effects on cells and tissues may differ. The promising results on chemopreventive effects of ellagitannin-rich pomegranate suggest that the other dietary sources of ellagitannins may also be effective in cancer prevention. The overall aim of the research reported in this thesis was to study the effects of cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), which is rich in ellagitannins, on all phases of intestinal tumour development. Specifically, the effects of cloudberry on the first two ph...
