Food is a powerful deterrent prostate cancer

Food is a powerful deterrent prostate cancer - For the first time, researchers have shown that healthy foods such as pomegranate, green tea, and broccoli able to fight prostate cancer.

During the six-month clinical trial at Bedford Hospital, researchers worked with 203 patients with prostate cancer. Researchers then divided the patients into two groups, the first is given healthy meals and two capsules were given a placebo drug.

After the study ended, proved that the group of patients taking the capsules are made ​​of pomegranate extract, green tea, turmeric, broccoli and experience levels of the protein antigens of cancer cells indicates 63 percent lower.

"Eating a healthy diet and lifestyle is keeping the main way to combat prostate cancer. Yet we also prove that any food supplement in the form of a powerful ward off prostate cancer," said Professor Robert Thomas, as quoted from Red Orbit.

Meanwhile, earlier there is also research that says that fried foods proven to increase the risk for prostate cancer in men.

Researchers also hope their findings could be used to help millions of men who suffer from prostate cancer.

Pomegranate Breast Cancer Deterrent

Pomegranate is now more popular because of properties beneficial to health. Besides good for the heart, the pomegranate was also effective against breast cancer.

The results of laboratory tests showed that pomegranate (pomegranate) contains chemical compounds that can reduce the risk of developing hormone that causes breast cancer.

Fruit that tastes fresh and sweet it contains a high content of polyphenol phytochemicals and antioxidants. These compounds inhibit the function of enzymes associated with the development of estrogen. Breast cancer is greatly influenced by the hormone estrogen. If a woman is no longer producing estrogen, the risk of breast cancer decreases.

"We were quite surprised by the results of our research. Formerly we found other fruits, such as grapes, able to work as an enzyme inhibitor. However, phytochemicals in pomegranates and grapes have turned out differently," said Shuan Chen, Chief Researcher of the Breast Cancer Research Program at City of Hope, California, USA.

However, researchers have not been able to confirm the number of doses were effective at preventing breast cancer given chemical compound derived from food is not easily absorbed.

However, experts say there is no harm in consuming pomegranate juice drink, let alone the content of antioxidants in one glass of pomegranate more than one glass of red wine, green tea, or orange juice. "In addition to preventing the development of breast cancer, pomegranate juice will also protect the organs and tissues of the body," says Chen.
