Apples and tomatoes can help fight cancer

Recently, many people are thinking about ways to fight cancer. This disease is indeed terrible, but apples and tomatoes can be very effective in fighting cancer.

Experts recently discovered that tomatoes have anti-cancer effects.

Recent research reports from the medical community in China, Japan, the United States, Israel and other countries have further confirmed that tea, apples and tomatoes are health treasures and have a positive effect on cancer prevention.

Apples have the effect of inhibiting cancer

In October this year, Hirosaki University in Japan published a report confirming that its research team confirmed through animal experiments that the useful ingredient in apples - polyphenols can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.

Lecturer Miura Tomochi of Hirosaki University and his colleagues used mice as an experiment to compare the effects of consuming apple polyphenols aqueous solution and distilled water after transplanting cancer cells. They concluded that apple polyphenols showed a relatively good anti-cancer effect in both survival rate experiments and cancer cell proliferation experiments.

Lycopene can prevent cancer

Experts at the Hebrew University of Israel recently discovered that tomatoes have anti-cancer effects. After the researchers added natural tomato pigments to oral cancer cell culture fluid, the cancer cells quickly lost their activity and gradually died.

Although researchers have not yet determined how lycopene subdues oral cancer cells, they believe that lycopene can stimulate antibodies that surround and destroy abnormal cells. The body's antibodies can resist the invasion of ordinary diseased cells, causing them to "commit suicide" under the siege of antibodies.

Tomatoes can also shrink prostate cancer tumors. In August this year, a study by Detroit University of Wisconsin-Madison confirmed that using tomato-made medicinal capsules to treat prostate cancer patients has achieved significant results.

The researcher conducted a group test on 26 prostate cancer patients who were waiting for surgery. One group took capsules made of lycopene extracted from tomatoes, 15 mg twice a day, and the other group did not take the capsules. After 3 weeks, he was surprised to find that the tumors of the patients who took the lycopene capsules were significantly reduced, and some were almost eliminated.

Researchers say lycopene is also found in other fruits, such as watermelon and grapes, especially purple grapes.
