Y (UP) Scien tists at Cornell University believe a research project on coconut milk may shed light on the mys terious' and uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. They have found that a coconut milk solution makes certain plant tissues multiply 20 to 30 times . faster than normal in a manner similar to the uncontrolled vrnwth of cancer. . ; In one experiment, the solution . made carrot tissues grow to iuu times their normal size within four weeks. On certain other veg etables the solution had no effect, leading the scientists to believe that some plants may contain an x"anti-growth factor." ' Although the growth factor in the coconut mut nas not yet oeen identified definitely. Dr. Frderick O Steward, director of the studv. reports "we have isolated one fac tor as being a crystalline suo atance." i In an effort to , identify the growth factors, the scientists have processed more than 700 gallons of coconut milk. They do not ex tort to annhr the results of the study directly to the problem of cancer, out, according to aiewara: "By understanding the cause of 1 abnormal growth in plants, it may help in understanding the funda ; mental causes of uncontrolled " growth in animal tissues.
