Recent studies, including one conducted by Johns Hopkins University, have disproved those claims. Hopkins professor Gary Ostrander and his research team found 40 cases of tumors in sharks and other <STRONG>elasmobranchs</STRONG> -- sea creatures with skeletons made of cartilage instead of bones. Proponents of using shark cartilage for human medication claim that it helps prevent something called <STRONG>angiogenisis</STRONG>.

To verify this, researchers have undertaken specific studies on the effects of shark cartilage in cancer patients.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://animals.howstuffworks.com/fish/shark-cure-cancer1.htm">Studies on mice and on humans in 1998 and 2005 found that taking an oral shark-cartilage supplement had no effect on cancerous tumors. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/169641B6-4882-4FC2-BCF3-4AFF8CC39333/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
