Farmanatur has echoed that Sin Alcohol S.L. and the Spanish Association against Cancer (abbreviated to AECC in Spanish) have agreed to launch two exclusive dealcoholized wines. For each bottle of WIN.O White or Red sold, 0.60 € will be devoted to a study financed by the AECC. Dr. Jelena Urosevic, with IRB Barcelona's Growth Control and Cancer Metastasis group, will coordinate the project, which will address the role of phosphatases in colorectal cancer.
