Bangalore Blue
... that the Bangalore Blue variety of grape is known to have anti-cancer and anti-ageing properties?
Created/expanded by Dee03 (talk). Self-nominated at 07:57, 31 January 2016 (UTC).
- Comment I don't think we should be reporting dubious claims on the front page, as the source is hardly reliable from a medical or scientific viewpoint. See List of unproven and disproven cancer treatments. Edwardx (talk) 15:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- I think "anti-cancer" means prevention of cancer and not treatment of it. Various grape varieties are proven to reduce the risk of cancer. A paper in the Journal of Environmental Pathology Toxicology and Oncology authored by people working in various cancer research institutes claims that seeds of Bangalore Blue have chemopreventive property. - Dee03 16:48, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Whether prevention of cancer or treatment, we should not be putting this on the front page, without solid sourcing, and that does not exist. Rather than "known", perhaps "claimed" might be better. See WP:MEDPOP for more on sourcing. Edwardx (talk) 20:07, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- I agree. You have to be very careful when someone claims a food can cure/prevent cancer. The source is not reliable (and i just added an inline tag about it in the article), and textually says "Modern research shows that this grape has anti-cancer and anti-ageing properties too.[1]" with no support whatsoever.
- ALT1 ... that the Bangalore Blue variety of grape has been grown for the past 150 years exclusively in the districts of Bangalore Urban, Chikkaballapura and Kolar?
- File:Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. (Removed duplicative DYKnom template.) BlueMoonset (talk) 01:20, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Short, but otherwise good to go with ALT1 on all counts. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:00, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
