NATURAL COMPOUND IN FRUIT MAY HELP PREVENT CANCER
Recent research suggests that some natural chemical compounds found in fruit may help prevent certain types of cancer . The compounds are known as limonoids and were tested on rats. The results showed that limonoids caused an increase in the secretion of an anti-cancer enzyme in the rats’ stomachs, providing them with added protection against stomach tumors and stomach cancers. Limonoids are the natural compounds that create the slightly bitter taste in some fruits, including oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit.
Many Nuts And Berries May Help Prevent Cancer
According to results from a study conducted at the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo, elegic acid—a substance found in many nuts and berries—may help your body tend off cell damage caused by certain Cancer-causing chemicals or carcinogens.
Researchers discovered that elegic acid neutralizes carcinogens which have invaded the bloodstream.
The researchers note that the substance only seems to work if it is introduced into the body’s system immediately before or during the time the body is exposed to the cancer-causing carcinogens.
Because the body has difficulty absorbing elegic acid in a concentrated form, supplements of the substance aren’t very effective. The researchers indicate that elegic acid in its natural form—in nuts and berries, such as Brazil nuts and strawberries—is more easily absorbed by the human body.
