Food Therapy: Beet Juice May be Potent Function Foods For Reduced Risk and Treatment of Pharynx Cancer

Kyle J. Norton

Beet may be a potential functional food for reduced risk and treatment of pharynx cancer, a recent study suggested

Pharynx cancer in a medical condition of abnormal cell growth in the pharynx region, including neopharynx, hypopharynx, pharyngeal areas. In the late stage, the cancerous cells may travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues.

Beet, best known as the beetroot or garden beet is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall, belonging to the amaranth family.

According to the joint study lead by the Vels University, phyto-synthetic method of producing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) may be used as mediator of beet root in enhanced treatment of patients with pharynx cancer.

In pharynx cancer cell line, the silver nanoparticles enhanced by beet root effect through induction of  cytotoxicity to cause cells death, without harming the nearby healthy cells.

Silver nanoparticles used to enhanced the function of biological treatment alone or combined with other pharmaceutical substances.

Measured by MTT assay, the inhibition efficacy may depend to the higher concentration proportionally of the photosynthetic substance.

 AO/EtBr staining observations also found that Ag-NPs exhibited mechanism of cell death probably through the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential caused by depletion of energy in induced cells proliferation, subsequently, in cell apoptosis.

In fact, according to the World Cancer Research Foundation reports, strong evidence suggested that vegetables with high nitrate-containing such as beet may have potential therapeutic effect in reduced risk and treatment of various cancers, including cancer of pharynx.

Unfortunately, beet juice with high amount of nitrate may associate to gastric cancer risk according to the review of literature of a total of 22 articles consisting of 49 studies—19 studies for nitrates, 19 studies for nitrites, and 11 studies for N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).

Further analysis, discovered that high nitrates intake was associated with a weak but statistically significant reduced risk of gastric cancer, and increased consumption of nitrites and N-nitrosodimethylamine, NDMA  may elevate the risk factors for gastric cancer.

But after taking account to other con founders, the risk of gastric cancer is not attributed by intake of  nitrate but nitrate beverage with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) contamination.

Taken together, beet and beet juice with high concentration of nitrate may be uses as functional food to ameliorated risk and treatment of pharynx cancer, but people with stomach ailment should avoid drinking any nitrate beverage with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) contamination.
