"Since the commencement of this project, we have been able to successfully assess the effect of a simple water extract of dandelion root in various human cancer cell types, in the lab and we have observed its effectiveness against human [[w:Lymphoid_leukemia#T-cell_leukemias|T cell leukemia]], [[w:chronic myelomonocytic leukemia|chronic myelomonocytic leukemia]], [[w:pancreatic cancer|pancreatic]] and [[w:colon cancer|colon cancer]]s, with no toxicity to non-cancer cells. Furthermore, these efficacy studies have been confirmed in animal models (mice) that have been transplanted with human colon cancer cells."<ref name="DandelionRootProject">http://www.uwindsor.ca/dandelionrootproject/</ref> | "Since the commencement of this project, we have been able to successfully assess the effect of a simple water extract of dandelion root in various human cancer cell types, in the lab and we have observed its effectiveness against human [[w:Lymphoid_leukemia#T-cell_leukemias|T cell leukemia]], [[w:chronic myelomonocytic leukemia|chronic myelomonocytic leukemia]], [[w:pancreatic cancer|pancreatic]] and [[w:colon cancer|colon cancer]]s, with no toxicity to non-cancer cells.
