Winter Squash Inhibits Breast Cancer Cells by 96% and Reduces Risk in Women:      Cucurbitacin E, a powerful anti-cancer compound found abundantly in winter squash varieties, was shown to halt the growth of human breast cancer cells by 96% in this study.  But do the  health benefits   of squash extend beyond the lab?  Yes, according to a recent study from the USA, where two servings of winter squash weekly reduced the risk of postmenopausal ER- breast cancer by 30%.
