Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol Inhibits the Symptoms of Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

By Kyle J. Norton

The prostate warped around the urethra is a gland of the male reproductive system found in front of the rectum and just below the bladder responsible for making some of the semen that carries sperm.

The muscle of the prostate gland also plays a critical in nourishing and protecting sperm by secreting fluid in perm ejaculation into the urethra.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) is a condition that increases numbers of the cell of prostate tissues, causing partial, or sometimes virtually complete obstruction of the urinary tract.

According to statistics, BPH commonly starts at the age of 30 and symptoms usually can not be realized until the age of 50.

More than half of men between the age of 60-70 experience symptoms of BPH and only 10% is required treatment.

Most symptoms of an enlarged prostate are related to bladder function in urinary excretion.  If you experience some of the symptoms of a weak stream of urine, difficulty starting urination, dribbling of urine, especially after urinating,..... and a sense of not fully emptying the bladder, you may develop enlarge prostate.

In severe cases, patients may also develop symptoms of night time frequent urination and a strong and sudden desire to urinate,.... and blood in the urine.

As the size of the prostate increase, the sex organ pressed on the urethra not only causes urinary problems but also induce urinary pain (dysuria or pain with urination).

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of phytosterols, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the protection of the prostate gland, researchers examined the effects of Azuprostat, a beta-sitosterol, in patients with symptoms of outlet obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

The randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of 130 mg free beta-sitosterol (phytosterol) daily, using the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) as the primary outcome variable in a total of 177 patients with BPH who were recruited for 6 months treatment in 13 study centers.

Treatment of beta-sitosterol showed a significant improvement of BPH symptoms over placebo.

The mean difference in the IPSS between placebo and beta-sitosterol, adjusted for the initial values, was 5.4 and the quality-of-life index was 0.9.

According to the secondary outcome variables, beta-sitosterol showed an increase in Qmax (4.5 mL/s) and a decrease in PVR (33.5 mL) after adjusting to the changes compared to the placebo.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These results show that a beta-sitosterol is an effective option in the treatment of BPH".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a functional supplement for the prevention and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Tocopherols, the Potential Anti-Cancer Remedies

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of chronic and medical conditions caused by the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of specific tissues and organs.

At the early stage due to the very small size of the tumor, most cancers are asymptomatic. However, at the advanced stage, cancer only can induce general symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, unintended weight loss, fatigue, and loss but also lead to specific symptoms, such as localized bleeding and pain, depending on the location of the cancer.

Also, at this stage, primary cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis through the circulation of blood and fluids.

According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in the US in 2019, approximately 1,762,450 new cancer cases will be diagnosed and 606,880 deaths are results from cancer.

Furthermore, from the age perspective, older adults although are accounted for only 8% of all cases diagnosed in the US, have a 17% mortality rate compared to other age groups.

The 3 most common types of cancer are
* Breast cancer, accounts for 25.4% of the total number of new cases diagnosed in 2018.

Breast cancer starts in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk. there are also rare cases that which breast cancer starts in other areas of the breast. The risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of women is 1/8.

Luckily, the 5 years survival rate of localized breast cancer is about 100%.

* Colorectal cancer and lung cancers are the second and third most common cancers, accounting for 43.9% of all cancers, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer.

Colorectal cancer is cancer in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix. Colorectal cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing cancer.

The 5-year survival rate of the localized stage of colorectal cancer is about 90%.

* Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. The most common form of primary lung cancer is derived from epithelial cells

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, seed, or nut oils, etc.


On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effect of tocopherols (TOCs) on tocotrienols (TTs). γ-TT and δ-TT have the highest anti-cancer activities.

According to the tested analysis, tocopherols (TOCs) showed a strong anti-tumor proliferative activity by targeting the common molecular pathways involved in the inhibition of the cell cycle.

Furthermore, tocopherols (TOCs) activated the pathways associated with the induction of apoptosis and autophagy, and the inhibition of invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis.

Moreover, γ-TT and δ-TT (solely or in combination) also induced anti-cancer molecular pathways when used in the combination with the conventional chemotherapeutic drugs

Taken altogether, tocopherols may process anti-cancer properties in Vitro and Vivo, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Tocopherols Arrest Oral Cancer Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Oral cancer is a type of cancer associated with any malignant cell growth in the tissue located in the oral cavity, including the tissue of the lips or the tongue, cheek lining, floor of the mouth, gums (gingiva), and the roof of the mouth (palate).

Most cases of oral cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of oral tissue.

However, at the advanced stage, oral cancer cells can travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissue and organs, leading to secondary metastasis.

According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2018, approximately 51,540 people were diagnosed with oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer. The disease causes the death of an estimated 10,030 people.

The 5-year survival rate of oral cancer is 66%, including all stages.

Family history, smoking, alcohol drinking, infection by the HPV virus, poor hygiene, and genetic preposition are some of the risk factors associated with the disease.

The most common types of oral cancer are
* Squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common types of oral cancer accounting for over 90% of all cases and arises from the squamous cell layer in the lining of the oral cavity and oropharynx.

* Verrucous carcinoma
The low-grade and rarely-spread verrucous carcinoma accounts for only approximately 5% of all cases. Cancer can spread deeply into the surrounding tissue.

* Minor salivary gland cancers
Cancer originated from the salivary gland and accounted for less than 1% of all cases.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, seed or nut oils, etc.

In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of malignant tumors researchers examined the effect of α-tocopherol against oral cancer.

According to the analysis,
* In vitro, α-tocopherol exhibited the effective antitumor activity on Oral SquamousCarcinoma Cells ORL-48 at 2.5 ± 0.42 µg/mL, compared to Cisplatin exhibited stronger activity at 1.0 ± 0.15 µg/mL.

* Furthermore, despite the lower potency, α-tocopherol compared to Cisplatin showed signs of apoptosis associated with the shrinkage of cells and appearance of apoptotic bodies.

* Moreover, α-tocopherol demonstrated cell cycle arrest by inducing the high accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase.

Based on the results, researchers said, "Both cisplatin and α-tocopherol displayed cell cycle arrest at the Sub G0 phase. α-tocopherol thus showed potential as an antitumor agent for the treatment of oral cancer and merits further research".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of oral cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Oleanolic Acid May Process Anti Cancer Property

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is the class of diseases associated with the growth of the cells disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of DNA.

Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.

However, at the advanced stage, most cancers not can induce common symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomforts, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue but also localized symptoms depending on the affected tissues and organs.

Cancers at this stage also can travel a distance away from the original site to induce secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.

The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.

Cancers are the second leading cause of death worldwide besides heart diseases.

Compared to all cancers, lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers are the most common cancer in the US.

Angiogenesis is the process that develops new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels by invasive tumors to provide energy(nutrition and fluids) for cancerous cell growth and proliferation.


Oleanolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belonging to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in honey mesquite, garlic, java apple, clove, etc.

On finding a potential plant for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the anti-cancer effect of Oleanolic acid (OA), a common pentacyclic triterpenoid.

According to the results of the analysis,
* Oleanolic acid exerted its effects as an inhibitor of the cellular inflammatory process, and the inducer of phase 2 xenobiotic biotransformation enzymes associated with cancer initiation.

* OA demonstrated its main anticancer effects mediated by caspases, 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase in cellular energy homeostasis, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in the regulation of cancer cell meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions, matrix metalloproteinases in organogenesis, growth and normal tissue turnover, pro-apoptotic Bax.

* OA also promoted the overexpression of reactive oxygen species/apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear factor-κB, in the induction of cancer cytotoxicity.

Collectively, researchers said, " In this work, we critically review the scientific literature on the molecular targets of oleanolic acid implicated in the prevention and treatment of several types of cancer".

Taken altogether, potato may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Relax the Vascular Smooth Muscles Against Vascular Diseases

By Kyle J. Norton

Vascular smooth muscle is the type of smooth muscle found within, and composing the majority of the wall of blood vessels.

Vascular smooth muscle plays a critical role in the distribution of blood to the cells of the organs and tissues by contracting or relaxing to change both the volume of blood vessels and the local blood pressure.

Compared to cardiac muscle, vascular smooth muscle undergoes slow, sustained, tonic contractions and relaxation.

Dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells is an important cause of vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and circulatory shock.

Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome is a rare, genetic, vascular disease, including cerebrovascular disease, aortic anomalies, intestinal hypoperistalsis, hypotonic bladder, and pulmonary hypertension.

Vascular smooth muscle tone refers to the ratio of constriction experienced by a blood vessel relative to its maximally dilated state.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).


On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of vascular diseases, researchers compare the effects of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids on vascular smooth muscle functioning.

According to the results of the experiment, the main components Docosahexaenoic acid (1-255 microM) and eicosapentaenoic acid (31-255 microM) inhibited phenylephrine-induced contractions, (8-63%) and (20-65%), respectively.

The efficacy of vascular smooth muscle relaxation was also not altered by the presence of indomethacin, NDGA, or by removal of the endothelium

Additionally, Linoleic acid (18:2n6) and arachidonic acid (20:4n6) found in omega 3, and 6 also induced significant relaxation.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " fatty acid-induced relaxation of the rat aorta is specific to polyunsaturated fatty acids, 20:5n3, 22:6n3, 18:2n6 and 20:4n6".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of vascular diseases by enhancing the vascular smooth muscle function, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Beta-Sitosterol in the Prevention of Lung Inflammation

By Kyle J. Norton

The lung is one of the vital organs in humans located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

Lung diseases are medical conditions, affecting the upper respiratory tract, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleura and pleural cavity, and the nerves and muscles of breathing.

People with lung diseases have breathing problems, preventing them to get enough oxygen for the body's needs.

Inflammation is the natural response of the immune system macrophages, the first line of defense in stimulating the production of inflammatory cytokines to protect our body against the infection caused by foreign microorganisms during the acute phase of body damage and injury.

Truly, the main focus of inflammation is to repair damage and injury.

Most cases of infection associated with inflammation are stopped at the acute phase. The wound or injury is slowly recovered.

However, overexpression of inflammatory cytokines in most cases can cause improper healing with scar formation or the death of nearby cells.

Any inflammation that lasts more than 3 months is considered chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is the result of the immune system's inability to kill off all the microorganisms that participated in the acute phase of infection, leading to the forming of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA and diabetes.

Inflammation also can be caused by overexpression of free radicals compared to the antioxidant enzymes in the body. This result can lead to an imbalance in the ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidants, the major cause of oxidative stress.

 Lung inflammation is a condition of acute or low-grade lung infection.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention of lung diseases, researchers compared β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol isolated from the extracts from Nigella arvensis L. seeds, on lung inflammation.

According to the tested analysis, β-sitosterol (BSS) was the only compound that significantly induce the inhibition of the P. aeruginosa-dependent expression of IL-8 associated with inflammatory activity at nanomolar concentrations.

In CF airway epithelial CuFi-1 cells infected with P. aeruginosa. BSS (100 nM), BSS demonstrated a significant and consistent inhibitory activity on the expression of the P. aeruginosa-stimulated expression chemokines IL-8, GRO-α GRO-β, which play a pivotal role in the recruitment of neutrophils in CF inflamed lungs.

Furthermore, BSS partially inhibits the P. aeruginosa-dependent activation of Protein Kinase C isoform alpha, which is known to be involved in the transmembrane signaling activating IL-8 gene expression in bronchial epithelial cells.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These data indicate BSS as a promising molecule to control excessive lung inflammation in CF patients".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of lung inflammation, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Coffee and Coffee Caffeine Intake and the Risk of Endometriosis

By Kyle J. Norton


Coffee is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, made from roasted beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Epidemiological studies do not agree that coffee regular intake is associated with the risk of endometriosis, according to the IRCSS Fondazione Ca' Granda.

In a meta-analysis of epidemiological studies published up to January 2013 to analyze the relative risks (RR) of endometriosis for any, high and low versus no coffee/caffeine consumption, researchers filed the following reports

1. A total of six case-control and two cohort studies, including a total of 1,407 women with endometriosis were found in this review
2. The relative ratio was 1.26 and 1.13 for coffee and caffeine consumed participants respectively, in compared to the non-consumption group
3. The overall relative ratio was 1.18 in the coffee consumption group after taking into account the number of cups of coffee intake and other risk factors
4. Risk of endometriosis increased reduced to 1.09 compared to high and low caffeine consumption as compared to no consumption, respectively.
Dr. Chiaffarino F, based on the information of this review said, "The present meta-analysis provided no evidence for an association between coffee/caffeine consumption and the risk of endometriosis. Coffee/caffeine consumption, as currently used in the diet, does not carry a health risk".

Others, the examine data from two case-control studies conducted in Northern Italy between 1984 and 1999 with 504 women aged < 65 years (median age 33 years, range 20-65) with a laparoscopically confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis, admitted to a network of obstetrics and gynecology departments in Milan, Brescia and Pavia and 504 healthy women acted as a control, researchers at the Università di Milano after adjusting to other risk factors suggested that there may be a link between diet and risk of endometriosis but coffee intake do not form the significant risk of endometriosis incidence.

In contrast to the above studies, the cross-sectional study included 28,822 women, 1,228 women with endometriosis, and the self-reported diagnosis was confirmed by medical records conducted by the joint institutes led by the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institute, coffee intake was associated to risk of development of endometriosis.



The study also indicated that even coffee showed a positive association with the risk of endometriosis, but future studies are needed to explore the significance of other factors such as age at menarche, level of education, body mass index (BMI), parity, oral contraceptive (OC) use, infertility, smoking, and alcohol intake in the diagnosis of endometriosis and understanding of its etiology.

Taking all together, although there is conflicting information related to coffee intake and the risk of endometriosis, women with a family history of endometriosis are recommended to reduce their intake of coffee and coffee caffeine and consult with their doctors before applying a high amount of coffee daily.

Antioxidant Sinigrin Isolated From Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli,... May Be The Potential Anti Atherosclerosis Chemical Compound, According to Studies

By Kyle J. Norton

Sinigrin may be used as a bioactive ingredient for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, according to studies.

Atherosclerosis is a medical condition caused by plaques accumulated on the wall of the arteries, leading to narrowing the arteries in transporting oxygenated blood to the heart and other parts of the body.

Depending on the blood obstruction, atherosclerosis can induce different types of heart disease and stroke.

Plaque is made of cholesterols, calcium, and other toxic substances, including cadmium.

According to the statistics provided by Atherosclerosis Open Acess, 32% of deaths account for atherosclerosis. 13.8% prevalence is among adults of 20 years and above. In 2010, the coronary heart disease mortality rate was about 60%.



Risk factors of atherosclerosis include high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes, being overweight or obese, unhealthy diet, family history of heart disease and physical inactivity, particularly smoking.


Some researchers suggested that since cholesterol makes up a big part of the plaque, an unhealthy diet with a high saturated trans fat, red meat, and processed meat may be the major cause of atherosclerosis.


In other words, the Western diet is one of the major culprits that cause the majority of cases of atherosclerosis.


Dr. Meifang Wang, the lead researcher in the study of "Western Diet Increases Inflammatory Responses and Atherosclerosis Progression via IGF-1 Receptor in ApoE-Deficient Mice" said, "....lowered circulating IGF-1 increases atherosclerosis progression in atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (ApoE−/−) while increased circulating IGF-1 downregulates vascular pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression, reduces systemic and vascular oxidant stress, vascular cytokine expression, and decreases atherosclerosis progression".

And, "the pro-inflammatory phenotype that is enhanced by WD in ApoE−/− mice is further enhanced by specific IGF1R deficiency in monocytes/macrophages, and may consequently increase atherosclerosis progression".


The results suggested that the Western diet-induced atherosclerosis progression through the increase of production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and decrease of the function of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) as a mediator of anabolic responses in many cells and tissues.


Sinigrin is a phytochemical glucosinolate, belonging to the family of glucosides found abundantly in Brussels sprouts, broccoli, the seeds of black mustard, etc.

Scientists on finding a natural bioactive compound for the treatment of atherosclerosis examined the effect of sinigrin against plaque accumulation on the arterial walls.

On atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice, injection sinigrin exerted a significant effect in the inhibition of the serum concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), calcium (Ca2+), and pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with plaque accumulated on the wall of the arteries.


Furthermore, oral administration of sinigrin attenuated the mRNA expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), which form a part of immunoglobulin superfamily in inflammatory and immune responses.

Moreover, injection also reduced the expression of genes C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), and CCL5 on aorta tissues associated with the risk of atherosclerosis.

The expression of low-density lipoprotein was also reduced by the injection of sinigrin observed by some keys regulators of cholesterol such as sterol regulatory element-binding protein-2 (SREBP-2).


Interestingly, increasing the concentration of sinigrin at the dose up to 100 μg/ml also significantly suppressed the levels of Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and nuclear translocation of NF-κB, cell signaling protein (cytokine) involved in systemic inflammation.


Additionally, at a contraction ut to 100 μg/ml, sinigrin inhibited the c-Jun-NH (2)-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway which plays a critical role in regulating cellular differentiation.

The findings strongly suggested that sinigrin inhibited the onset of atherosclerosis by lowering the low-density lipoproteins and mechanisms associated with inflammatory induction of plaque accumulation on the arterial wall.

Dr. Jang YJ, the lead scientist wrote, "sinigrin decreases the TNF-α-stimulated VCAM-1 expression through the suppression of NF-κB and MAP kinases signaling pathways, Overall, sinigrin has the potential to be used in reducing the risks of atherosclerosis".

Taken altogether, sinigrin may be considered a supplement for the prevention and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of atherosclerosis, pending the confirmation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol Inhibits the Risk and Treatment of Colon Cancer in Vitro and Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

The colon-formed parts of the secretory system are also known as the large bowel or large intestine with a function to reabsorb fluids and process and secret waste products from the body.

Cancer is a class of chronic diseases caused by cell growth disorderly and irregularly in the tissue of a specific organ as a result of the alternation of DNA.

Colon cancer is a chronic condition caused by cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the colon due to the alternation of DNA.

Colon cancer is one most slow-growing cancer compared to other cancers. In some patients, colon cancer may exist in the colon more than 20 years before it is discovered. Therefore, only 39% of colon cancer is diagnosed in the early stage, which orchestrates more incidences of death compared to other cancers.

Most cases of colon cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At this stage, patients may not experience any symptoms.

After penetrating deeper into the colon layer, the cancer cells may travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissue and organs through the fluids and blood circulation.

At this stage, the increased size of the tumor may suppress the nearby tissue, organs, or nerve cells causing localized symptoms and severe pain.

According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 101,420 new cases of colon cancer will be diagnosed. Colon cancer also causes the death of 51,020 deaths. during 2019.

The lifetime risk associated with the onset of colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The median age diagnosed with colon cancer is 68 in men and 72 in women compared to the age of 63 for rectal cancer in both men and women.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.


On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of malignant tumors, researchers examined the protective effect of beta-sitosterol isolated from A. curassavica against colon cancer in Vitro and Vivo.

The study included male Wistar rats injected with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 20 mg/kg b.w.) and supplemented with beta-sitosterol throughout the experimental period of 16 weeks at 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg b.w.

According to the tested analysis, beta-sitosterol induced significant growth inhibition of COLO 320 in a dose-dependent manner.

Beta-sitosterol supplementation also reduced the number of aberrant crypt and crypt multiplicity in DMH-initiated rats in a dose-dependent manner without inducing toxicity. 

Additionally, the application of 10-20 mg/kg b.w. of beta-sitosterol not only is effective in vivo but also induced chemopreventive potential by inhibiting the expression of free radicals in vitro, with minimal toxicity to normal cells.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " It (Beta-sitosterol) also attenuated beta-catenin and PCNA expression, making it a potential anticancer drug for colon carcinogenesis".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Beetroot's Betanin Enhances the Effects of Chemotherapy In Vitros

By Kyle J. Norton

Chemotherapy is an action in which a substance including drugs was used to treat any disease, particularly, cancer.

In cancers, chemotherapy is a treatment to kill or damage cancer cells in a specific area. Besides chemotherapy, the most common treatment for cancer in conventional medicine are surgery and radiation, depending on the severity of the condition.


The aim of chemotherapy is to cure or control the progression of cancer and improve the quality of life of patients by reducing symptoms.


In other words, chemotherapy is effective to shrink a tumor before surgery or kill the remaining cancer cells that cannot completely be removed by radiation and surgery.

Depending on the type and stage and grade of cancer, treatment may be a single chemo drug or several drugs.

Chemotherapy has been found to induce serious side effects, including fatigue. hair loss, easy bruising and bleeding, infection, anemia, nausea and vomiting, and constipation due to its nature to kill cells (cancer and healthy cells) indiscriminatingly.

Betanin is a phytochemical in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments of Betacyanins, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.

Researchers with an aim to discover a natural compound or whole food which enhances chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer examined the effects of betanin (BET) co-administration with the potent anticancer drugs e.g. doxorubicin (DOX) in reducing the side effects.

The study included the introduction of a new pH-responsive nanocarrier via decoration of gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) by (methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly ((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate-co-itaconic acid) (PGNPs) loaded with 20.5 % of DOX and 16.25of BET that overcomes the restrictions of BET and provides the synergistic effect of DOX@BET.

At the adjusting of the pH of the environment, the stimulated release of DOX and BET from PGNPs showed a significant synergistic effect of DOX@BET not only inhibited the tested cancer cell line MCF-7 but also the side effect caused by DOX.


In other words, the betanin enhanced chemo drug efficacy and inhibited the treatment of drug toxicity.


Based on the findings, Dr. Amjadi S, the lead scientist said, "(The synergistic effect of DOX@BET may contribute to the) developed smart nanocarrier will be a hopeful nanocarrier for cancer therapy".

In order to find out more information about the enhanced chemotherapy researchers investigated the activity of extract of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), the FDA approved red food color E162 with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (adriamycin) in human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) and estrogen receptor-positive human breast cancer cells (MCF-7).

Individual treatment of doxorubicin and the beetroot extract exhibited a cytotoxic effect in the two tested cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner.

The cytotoxicity induced by beetroot extract at the concentration of 29 µg/ml was significantly lower compared to doxorubicin.

Beetroot extract inhibited the cancer proliferation at a trend of gradual decrease of the growth rate of the PC-3 cells (3.7% in 3 days vs. 12.5% in 7 days) compared to doxorubicin completely inhibited the growth of the PC-3 cells in three days at the same concentration level.

In the additional differentiation of the results, researchers found that the cytotoxicity exhibited by the red beetroot extract is attributed to the effects of betanin, the major betacyanin constituent.

Based on the findings, betanin co-administration with chemo drug not only have a profound effect in enhancing the function of the anti-cancer drug but also reduce the side effect induced by conventional medicine.

Taken altogether, betanin used alone or combined with other chemo drugs may be considered medicine for the treatment of cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of betanin in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Tocopherols Have No Effects on Platelet Aggregation in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

By Kyle J. Norton

A metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, including high blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and excess body fat around the waist.

Epidemiological studies suggested if you have 3 of the above syndromes you have metabolic syndrome.

According to statistics, in the US, 30% of Americans are living with metabolic syndrome,

and, 1 in 5 people in Canada has metabolic syndrome, affecting 19.1% of all Canadian adults.

The CDC statistic suggested, that among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35% from 25.3% to 34.2% according to the data from 1988–1994 to 2007–2012.

There are certain risk factors associated with the onset of metabolic syndrome besides the five mentioned above including age, family history of metabolic syndrome, physical activity, and women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Untreated metabolic syndrome epidemiologically may induce complications of chronic illness such as atherosclerosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and kidney diseases.

Platelet aggregation is a condition of platelets clumping together in the blood. The process also is necessary for the cover of vascular injury.


Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, researchers examined the effect of palm-based tocotrienols and tocopherol (PTT) mixture supplementation on platelet aggregation reactivity. 

A randomized, double-blind, crossover, and the placebo-controlled trial included 32 metabolic syndrome adults supplemented with 200 mg (69% tocotrienols and 31% α-tocopherol) twice daily of PTT mixture or placebo capsules for 14 days and consumed 200 mg PTT mixture or placebo capsule after a meal, after 14 days,  after15-day washout period.

Fasting platelet aggregation reactivity stimulated with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) which is essential to the flow of energy in living cells, did not show substantial changes after supplementation with PTT mixture compared to placebo.

There are no changes in postprandial platelet aggregation reactivity compared to PTT mixture and placebo interventions.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The results of this study highlight the lack of inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation after short-term supplementation of PTT mixture in participants with metabolic syndrome".

Taken altogether, tocopherols have no effect on platelet aggregation in patients with metabolic syndrome, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Tocopherols Inhibits the Onset of Liver Cancer in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton


The liver organ is one of the organs with a lack of nerve tissue, therefore liver cancer does not induce pain until the later stage of injury.

Liver cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the liver tissue.

The causes of liver cancer are associated with the alternation of cells' DNA which normally begins in the cells on the surface of the inner lining.

Liver cancer at the early stage no not cause any symptoms. However, at the advanced stage, liver cancer cells can cause a wide range of symptoms including jaundice, abdominal swelling and pain, and dark urine and white stool accompanied by the general symptoms of cancers such as unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, chronic fatigue and tiredness and gastrointestinal discomforts.

The most common cause of liver cancer is infected by the hepatitis virus. However, in North America, due to the overexpression of the overweight and obese population, liver cancer may be slowly progressed from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through cirrhosis to liver cancer.

There is a number of risk factors other than those mentioned above associated with the onset of liver cancer such as male, ethnicity, hepatitis viral carriers.

However, most people with some of the above risk factors have never developed liver cancer.

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, every year, approximately, 1,900 men and 580 women are diagnosed with liver cancer, causing the death of 950 men and 270 women.

In 2017, 2,500 Canadians were diagnosed with liver cancer and 1,200 Canadians died from liver cancer.

Compared to the early stage of other cancer, the 5 years survival rate in the early stage diagnosis is only 31%, and 43% of people with liver cancer are diagnosed at stages 0 and 1.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancers, researchers examined the effect of poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/d-alpha-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate nanoparticles to accomplish the simultaneous delivery of an optimized ratio of doxorubicin (DOX) and elacridar (ELC) to target both LCSCs and liver cancer cells.

According to the analysis, in vitro
* DOX/ELC molar ratio of 1:1 works synergistically to exhibit significantly increased cytotoxic effects against both HepG2 and HepG2-TS
* DOX/ELC showed a stronger anti-cancer activity, compared with DOX-loaded nanoparticles (NDs) or ELC-loaded nanoparticles (NEs).

* Furthermore, the nanoparticles exhibited better tumor targeting, with NDE showing the strongest antitumor activity with lower systemic toxicity.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These results suggested that NDE represented a promising combination therapy against liver cancer by targeting both liver cancer cells and CSCs".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for reducing the risk of liver cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Betacyanins Isolated From Beetroots May Process Anti Prostate Cancer Potency

By Kyle J. Norton

The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ warped around the urethra located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder responsible for making some of the semen that carries sperm.

The muscle of the prostate gland also plays a critical in nourishing and protecting sperm by secreting fluid in perm ejaculation into the urethra.

Prostate cancer is a medical and chronic condition characterized by abnormal cell growth in the tissues of the prostate.


Most cases of prostate cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissue of the prostate, before penetrating into the deeper layers to colonize the entire prostate through cell proliferation.

At the advanced stage, prostate cancer also can spread to distant parts of the body. Most prostate cancers are slow-growing. Enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during the physical (rectum) exams.

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, in Canada, 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime, and the mortality rate of men is 1 in 27.

In other words, 1 in 4 men diagnosed with prostate cancer will die because of the disease.

The exact causes of prostate cancer are unknown, Epidemiologically, researchers do know that the below are some factors that increase the prevalence of the diseases
* Age
The risk of developing prostate cancer increases with the age of over 45

* Family history
If one of your directed family members has prostate cancer, you are twice at risk to develop it.

* Race
Prostate cancer is more likely to strike black and white in the US.

* Heredity
Researchers found that up to 70 percent of men with prostate cancer have lost one copy of the Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene at the time of diagnosis. The tumor protein 53
(p53) mutations are a late event in the pathology of prostate cancer.

* Low levels of vitamin D in the blood
Researchers found that men with a deficiency of level of vitamin D in the blood are at higher risk to develop prostate cancer.

* Excessive drinking
Excessive drink not only increases the risk of liver cancer but is also associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer as it interferes with folate metabolism.

* Enlarged prostate
Men with an enlarged prostate are at high risk in developing prostate cancer.

* Sexual transmitting diseases
Infected diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis are associated with a higher risk of the diseases.

* Obesity
In a study of Obesity May Raise Risk of Prostate Cancer Spread, Christopher J. Keto, MD, a urological oncology postdoctoral associate at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C. found that overweight men were three times more likely to have their cancer spread.

However, most people with some of the risk factors have never had developed prostate cancer

Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.


On finding a potential compound for the treatment of prostate cancer, researchers examined the effect of the red beetroot extract (Beta vulgaris L.), the FDA-approved red food color E162 on the development of multi-organ tumors in experimental animals.

In human androgen-independent, human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) researchers compared the cytotoxic effect of the red beetroot extract with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (adriamycin),
* Both doxorubicin and the beetroot extract exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect in the PC3 cancer cell lines.

* Further analysis of the cytotoxic activity of beetroot extract, researchers found that although the cytotoxicity of the beetroot extract was significantly lower compared to doxorubicin, it continued to decrease the growth rate of the PC-3 cells (3.7% in 3 days vs. 12.5% in 7 days) at the concentration of 29 µg/ml compared to those of doxorubicin which completely inhibited the growth of the PC-3 cells in three days at the same concentration level.


* According to the chemical differentiation, the efficacy of beetroot extract anti-prostate cancer activity was attributed to the major betacyanin constituent, that plays an important role in the cytotoxic exhibition.
In other words, all phytochemicals work synergistically to exert anti-prostate cancer properties, particularly, betanin, the major ingredient of betacyanin.

Taken altogether, betacyanins used alone or combined with conventional medicine may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of betacyanins in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Antioxidant Omega3 Fatty Acids Are Effective Against Psoriasis, Studies Suggest

By Kyle J. Norton

Psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by the speed-up of the life cycle of skin cells, leading to cells building up rapidly on the surface of the skin.

Symptoms of psoriasis caused by the extra skin cells from scales and red patches can be itchy and painful.

Epidemiologically, psoriasis patches can range from a few spots or large areas. The most common form of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis, a condition that induces dry, raised, red skin lesions (plaques) covered with silvery scales.

The causes of psoriasis are not identified, however, researchers believed that genetic proposition exacerbated by certain factors such as weather, injury, illness, or stress are some of the most causative factors that induce the onset of the condition.

Certain risk factors such as family history, viral and bacterial infections, weakened immune systems, persistent stress, are associated with the risk of psoriasis.

Other risk factors associated with psoriasis may include skin injury that did not heal properly, people who are obese and side effects of long-term use of certain medicines such as oral steroids.

Some researchers suggested smoking that has a strong impact on the immune system may also be one of the major causes of psoriasis in smokers.

Conventionally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of the condition, particularly in patients with mild to moderate psoriasis.


According to the joint study led by the University of Trieste, the increased incidence of a large number of diseases that share an inflammatory origin is probably due to the pro-inflammatory cytokine spillover from active psoriatic lesions, leading to a large inflammation on distant tissues(95).

Additionally, the Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, Boston joint study suggested, individuals with psoriasis have increased blood levels of uric acid. In the documented 2217 incident cases of gout during follow-up. Psoriasis was associated with an increased risk of subsequent gout with a multivariate HR of 1.71

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of skin diseases, researchers examined the efficacy and mechanism of action of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) on psoriasis.


The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials that searches the databases of the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE all randomized controlled trials and prospective observational studies compared the 3 PUFAs effects versus control in adult patients with psoriasis.

Out of 12 articles identified in a total of 732 articles that were searched, some studies found that n-3 PUFAs were associated with improvements in the PASI score, erythema, scaling, itching, an area involved, and infiltration.

However, some studies did not find a reduction in scaling, erythema, area involved or thickness in the treatment group.

Based on the findings researchers said, "It is still inconclusive whether the use of n-3 PUFAs in patients with psoriasis is associated with improvements in the severity of psoriasis and other outcomes".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of psoriasis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Broccoli Inhibits the Risk of Breast Cancer in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

The breast is the tissue overlying the chest muscles. in women, breasts are made of specialized tissue that produces milk (glandular tissue) and fatty tissue. The size of the women's breasts is totally determined by the amount of fat.

Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is a medical and chronic condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the breast tissue.

Most cases of breast cancer start either in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.

There are also rare cases of breast cancer that start in other areas of the breast

The cause of breast cancer is the result of the alternation of DNA of the cells in the breast.

According to statistics, in 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in women in the US alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.

The 5 years of the survival rate of localized breast cancer are closed to 100%.

As of today, the exact causes of breast cancer are still unknown. Researchers believed that
genetic mutation inherited from the parents and an unhealthy diet and lifestyle are the major factors that facilitate the early onset of the disease.

At the early stage of breast cancer, patients may experience symptoms of the lump (mass) in the breast. and in the armpit (lymph nodes), nipple discharge, inverted or retracted nipple, scaly or pitted skin on the nipple, persistent tenderness of the breast, and unusual breast pain or discomfort.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

On finding a potential whole food for the treatment of cancer, researchers evaluated sulforaphane, a natural compound derived from broccoli/broccoli sprouts, efficacy to inhibit breast CSCs.

According to the results of differentiation, The application of sulforaphane (1-5 micromol/L) decreased the aldehyde dehydrogenase-positive cell population found in some cancers by 65% to 80% in human breast cancer cells. 

Furthermore, the size and number of primary mammospheres in the breast cancer cells were also reduced by 8- to 125-fold and 45% to 75% by the injection of sulforaphane.

More precisely, Daily injection with 50 mg/kg sulforaphane for 2 weeks reduced aldehyde dehydrogenase-positive cells by >50% in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient xenograft tumors.

Moreover, sulforaphane also eliminated breast CSCs in vivo by inhibiting the tumor growth after the reimplantation of primary tumor cells into the secondary mice.

Additionally, sulforaphane also inhibited the expression of Wnt/beta-catenin associated with cellular functions like stem cell regeneration and organogenesis.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These findings support the use of sulforaphane for the chemoprevention of breast cancer stem cells".

Taken altogether, broccoli processed a high amount of SFN may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Antioxidant Beta-Sitosterol Induces Apoptosis of Colon Cancer Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

The colon is also known as the large intestine.
Cancer is a class of chronic diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissues of the affected organ.

Colon cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing in a predictable way.

Most cases of primary colon cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At the early stage. most patients with colon cancer do not experience any symptoms.

However, at the advanced stage, the tumor not only can spread to other healthy tissue and organs a distance away through blood and fluid circulation but also suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells.

The progression of colon cancer at this stage not only induces symptoms of the change in bowel habits, the change in the consistency of your stool, that lasts longer than four weeks but also causes rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal severe pain.

According to the statistic by the American Cancer Society, in the US, 
97,220 new cases of colon cancer were diagnosed in 2018. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The causes of colon cancer are unknown but certain risk factors, such as genetic preposition and chronic inflammation induced by colonic diseases are associated with the onset of the disease.

Patients with the early stage of colon cancer, may not experience any symptoms. But as the tumor spread and expanse, it may suppress the nearby tissue and nerve, causing symptoms of locally severe pain and discomforts.

Although there are many risk factors associated with the early onset of colon cancer, a poor diet high in saturated fat and trans fat, red meat and processed foods have been found to play a major role in the development and recurrence of colon cancer in the Western world.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors, researchers examined the anti-radical activity, cytotoxic on human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines (COLO 320 DM).

According to the experimental analysis, beta-sitosterol exerted a significant dose-dependent growth inhibition of COLO 320 DM cells at IC50 and a dose of 266.2 microM,

Furthermore, beta-sitosterol also induced apoptosis by scavenging reactive oxygen species and suppressed the expression of beta-catenin and PCNA antigens in human colon cancer cells.

Moreover, in vivo, the beta-sitosterol supplementation reduced the number of aberrant crypt and crypt multiplicity in DMH-initiated rats in a dose-dependent manner with no toxic effects.

More importantly, the doses of 10-20 mg/kg b.w. beta-sitosterol had chemopreventive potential by virtue of its radical quenching ability in vitro, with minimal toxicity to normal cells.

Taken altogether, beta-sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Broccoli Induces Lung Cancer Cells Apoptosis in Vitro and Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream to nourish the body cells' need and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. The most common forms of primary lung cancers are derived from epithelial cells.

At the early stage, people with lung cancer may experience symptoms of a cough that doesn't go away, coughing up blood, even a small amount, shortness of breath, chest pain and unintended weight loss.

However, at the advanced stage, the cancer cell from the lung can travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissue and organs through the circulation of fluid and blood, leading to the secondary metastasis.

The exact cause of lung cancer is not identified. However, epidemiologically, smoking, second smoke, exposure to certain chemicals, family history, people who have lung disease and excessive drinking are some prevalent factors associated with lung cancer developing.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in both men and women. Lung cancer accounts for 26.7% of all deaths from cancer and 6.5% of all mortality.

According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, lung cancer accounts for 14% of all new cancers diagnosed in the US. In 2018, there were about 234,030 new cases of lung cancer (121,680 in men and 112,350 in women). Lung cancer also causes the death of 83,550 in men and 70,500 in women in the same year.

The 5-year survival rate for people with stage IB NSCLC is about 68%.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

On finding a potential wholefood for the treatment of cancer researchers examined the effect of sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate isolated from broccoli on lung cancer.

In vitro, A549 and H1299 lung cancer cells treated with SFN for 48h showed a decrease of HDAC activity and increase of the levels of acetylated histones H3 and H4 associated with cellular proliferation in both lung cancer cells.

SFN also promoted the activity of genes involved in the induction of apoptosis, an increase of accumulation of cells at G0/G1 and G2/M and arrest cells at S phase.

In vivo, SFN suppressed lung cancer growth in a xenograft mouse model.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, " the chemopreventive effect of SFN is associated with inhibition of HDAC activity, thereby attenuating lung cancer growth. Therefore, these findings suggest that SFN may be a therapeutic agent for lung cancer through the inhibition of HDAC".

Taken altogether, broccoli processed a high amount of SFN may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
