#Healthyfood #Broccoli Gobbles Up #UrologicCancer Cells, Researchers Suggest

By Kyle J. Norton

Urologic cancers are a class of medical conditions including prostate cancer is a condition in which the cells of the prostate have become cancerous, causing abnormal cell growth with the possibility of spreading to the distant parts of the body.

Most prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during physical (rectum) exams.

* Kidney cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the tissue of the kidneys.

At the later stage, the cancerous cells may travel a distance way to infect other organs' tissues.
For example, if kidney cancer spreads to the lung is called kidney cancer with lung metastases.

* Bladder cancer
The bladder is a hollow elastic organ in the center of the lower abdomen that collects urine from the kidneys and excreted them through the urethra.

Bladder cancer is the most common type of cancer that affects men twice as frequently as it affects women.

* Cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter is a cancer of the renal pelvis on the top part of the ureter and the ureter which is a long tube that connects the kidney to the bladder

* Testicle cancer
Testicular Cancer is cancer that arises in the testicles (testes), located inside the scrotum. testicles form part of the male reproductive system, responding to the production and reproduction of male sex hormones and sperm.

* Cancer of the penis
Penis cancer is a type of irregular cell growth formed in the tissues of the penis.


* Urethra cancer
Urethral cancer is a type of medical condition caused by the growth of malignant cells in tissues of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder and out of the body.

The most common symptoms of urologic cancers are difficulty starting to urinate or difficulty holding urine back, weak urine stream or interruption of stream, painful urination, pelvic discomfort, bone pain, erectile dysfunction (ED), painful ejaculation, blood in the urine and blood in the semen.

The joint study led by the National Cancer Center, Goyang, Korea, wrote, "During 1999-2012 (In Korean), urological cancer occurred in 155,991 patients (Table 1). The most common cancer was prostate cancer (66,812 patients) followed by bladder cancer (41,549 patients), kidney cancer (36,836 patients), renal pelvis and ureter cancer (7,537 patients), testis cancer (2,439 patients), and penile cancer (818 patients)".

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

On finding a potential plant that processes anticarcinogenic activity, researchers examined the effects sulforaphane (SF), a natural compound sulforaphane (SFN) anti-urologic cancer effects.

According to the tested analysis, the application of SFN shows a remarkable anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo without exerting toxicity.

Furthermore, based on available evidence from epidemiological, in vitro, preclinical, and early phase trials, SFN was not only available in standardized formulations but bioavailable- both systemically and in the bladder but also exerted a significant anti bladder cancer through multiple mechanisms.

Additionally, similar to its effects on urological cancer, SFN induced cancer apoptosis without causing cytotoxicity.

Collectively, researchers said, "sulforaphane (SFN) represents a promising potential chemopreventative agent in bladder cancer".

Taken altogether, Broccoli processed abundant bioactive compound SFN, which may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of urologic tumors, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthyfood #Carrots in Reducing the Risk of #Cancer, Researchers Find

By Kyle J. Norton

Carrots, the root veggie may have a potential and positive effect in blocking the proliferation of cancer cells, some scientists suggested.

Cancer is a class of chronic and medical diseases characterized by irregular and disordered cell growth in one or some tissue and organs in the body.

Most cancers start from the inner lining of the tissue of the organs and then slowly spread to the deeper parts of the infected organs. At the advanced stage, most malignant cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissue and organs.

Most cancer diagnosed at an early have a 100% 5 years survival rate.

According to the statistic provided by the Canadian public health service, during their lifetime, nearly 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer, and 1 in 4 will die from the disease.

Lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers account for half of all cancers diagnosed in Canada and over 25% of all cancer deaths in Canada are due to lung cancer.

The causes of cancers are unknown, however, scientists around the world agreed that there are several risk factors such as gene mutations inherited from the parents and acquired gene mutations caused by smoking, radiation, viruses, chemicals carcinogens, obesity, hormones, chronic inflammation, and physical inactivity are associated to the early onset of cancer.


Carrot, a root vegetable with an orange color is a subspecies of Daucus carota, belonging to the family Apiaceae, native to Asia and Europe.

In the investigation of the claim of Lebanese folk medicine that Daucus carota, also known as wild carrot has a potency for the treatment of various types of cancer, researchers at the Lebanese American University, conducted an experience to identify the major compound responsible for the anti-cancer activity of DCOE.

β-2-himachalen-6-ol, a novel sesquiterpene unique to β-2-Himachalen-6-ol isolated from the Lebanese wild carrot demonstrated potent anti-cancer activity against B16F-10, Caco-2, MB-MDA-231, A549, and SF-268 cancer cells (IC50 13-4µg/ml; 58-18µM), and SF-268 cells.

Furthermore, the sesquiterpene was shown to induce cell death through apoptosis (flow cytometry), decrease 2D cell motility (wound healing assay) and 3D invasion, as well as increase cell adhesion in SF-268 cells.

Additionally, β-2-himachalen-6-ol showed very low toxicity.

These results suggested that wild carrot β-2-himachalen-6-ol may have a potential multi-mechanistic chemotherapeutic drug with high potency and safety.


Moreover, the concerns about the mortality rate caused by gastric cancer, researchers at the Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences conducted a review by searching multiple databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Persian databases like Scientific Information Database (SID) and IranMedx to determine the relationship between carrot consumption and gastric cancer.

Out of 81 articles found in the databases, only 5 studies that satisfied the medical guidelines and criteria were included in the review. after taking into account co and confounders, researchers found that
* Intake of carrots regularly reduced the risk of gastric cancer by 26%.

* There is an inverse relationship between the consumption of carrots and the risk of gastric cancer.

More interestingly, regarding the inconsistent results. associated with carrot intake and prostate cancer risk, researchers at Zhejiang University also launched a review by searching the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, the Cochrane Register, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure to to determine whether the intake of carrot may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

In the final report, researchers found that
* Intake of carrots is associated with a significantly decreased risk of prostate cancer with the odds ratio of 0.82 which is consistent with the Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences study.

* For each serving per week or 10 g per day increment of carrot intake, the odds ratio of the risk of prostate cancer was 0.95, according to the dose-response meta-analysis.

The findings indicated that the intake of carrots may have a potential effect in reducing the risk of the onset of cancers.

However, due to the limited number of cohort studies and substantial heterogeneity observed between studies in this meta-analysis, further well-designed prospective studies are warranted to confirm the findings from the studies.

#Herbal #Burdock in the Inhibition of #Cancers, Researchers Say

By Kyle J. Norton

Burdock is planted in the group of biennial thistles, genus Arctium, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to the Euro. It has been used over thousands of years in China and other traditional herbal medicine as a diuretic, diaphoretic, and blood-purifying agent to treat wounds and infections stomach ulcers, and other digestive problems.

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying in disordered and uncontrollable ways in our body, have become progressively worse and damage other healthy tissues, sometimes spreading to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.

Arctigenin, a dietary phytoestrogen and natural lignan product of Arctium lappa L inhibited human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell growth by inducing apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Another lignan constituent, Arctic of Arctium lappa, induced suppression of cyclin D1 protein expression occurs in various types of human tumor cells, including osteosarcoma, lung, colorectal, cervical and breast cancer, melanoma, transformed renal cells, and prostate cancer.

The Side effects
1. Overdose can be poisoning and may lead to symptoms of acute poisoning including phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants, and antihistamines.
2. It may cause dermatitis and allergic/inflammatory responses in certain people with contact as a result of the lactones that the plant produces.
3. Do not use burdock if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

#Bromelain Inhibits the Antibodies Against the Onset of #LungCancer, Researchers Find

By Kyle J. Norton

Lung cancer is a chronic condition characterized by irregular cells in the lung tissues caused by the alternation of cells' DNA.

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, and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

According to the statistics, in the US, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. In n 2007. lung caused the death of 158,683 Americans, including 88,329 men and 70,354 women i

There are several types of lung cancer including
1. Non-small cell lung cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer, the most common type of lung cancer grown and spread methodically and predictably, includes
* Squamous-cell carcinoma often found in an outer area of the lung.

*Large-cell carcinoma found in the center of the lung by an air tube.

* Adenocarcinoma found in any part of the lung.

2. Small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer is an aggressive type of lung cancer. The cells of small cell cancer have been found to spread to distant parts of the body in a relatively early stage.
* Small cell carcinoma in which the cells are small, round, and resemble oats.

* Mixed small cell/large cell carcinoma, the malignant tumor is found in combining components of small cell lung carcinoma with large cell lung carcinoma.

* Combined small cell carcinoma, the malignant tumor is found in combining of a component of small cell lung carcinoma with components of non-small cell lung carcinoma

Out of many risk factors associated with the onset of lung cancer, some researchers suggested smokers are at substantial risk of the disease.

Dr. Ozlü T the lead scientist wrote, "It is estimated that deaths attributable to tobacco use will rise to 10 million by 2025, and one-third of all adult deaths are expected to be related to cigarette smoking".


And, "Tobacco use has been reported to be the main cause of 90% of male and 79% of female lung cancers. 90% of deaths from lung cancer are estimated to be due to smoking. The risk of lung cancer development is 20-40 times higher in lifelong smokers compared to non-smokers".

The results strongly suggested that if you are a smoker, your risk of lung cancer developing is rocketing.

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.

With an aim to find a natural ingredient against lung cancer, researchers examined the effects of the antitumor effect of fastuosain, a cysteine proteinase from Bromelia fastuosa on the intravenous model of lung colonization in C57Bl/6 mice.

According to the tested assays, fastuosain showed reduced expression of the marker of cancer progression (CD44) and decreased invasion by inhibiting cancer cell communication and inflammation in tumor cells.

Furthermore, fastuosain also induced cancer apoptosis by blocking the function enzymes associated with cell proliferation.

Interestingly, in green fluorescent protein-chimeric animals, treatment with fastuosain did not change the number of cells that migrated to the lung, compared to PBS-injected control mice, but the number of positive major histocompatibility complex class II cells associated with antigens was increased significantly.

In other words, fastuosain anti-lung cancer activity is mainly involved in the direct effect of the enzyme and elicitation of protective antibodies.

Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

#Allicin Stimulates the Immune Cells Against the Risk of #PancreaticCancer, According to Researchers

By Kyle J. Norton

Scientists may have found a single ingredient isolated from garlic for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer with no side effects, according to studies.

Cancer of the pancreas or pancreatic cancer is a medical condition of a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas, as the cells have become cancerous and divided uncontrollably.

Most pancreatic cancers start in the ducts (an exocrine component of the pancreas) that carry pancreatic juices. Pancreatic cancers originating in the glandular tissue account for over 75 - 90% of all cases of exocrine cancers.

At the advanced stage, cancerous cells from the pancreas may travel a distance away to exhibit secondary metastasis.

In Canada, the 5-year net survival including all stages of pancreatic cancer is 8%. In other words, 92% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will die after 5 years.

According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, every year, approximately an estimated 55,000 adults (29,000 men and 26,000 women) in the United States are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The incidence rates are 25% higher in black people, compared to white people.

Researchers do not know the causes of the disease. However, age, gender, ethnicity, smoking habit, poor diet, and certain medical condition such as diabetes are associated with the prevalent risks of pancreatic cancer.

Some researchers suggested that pancreatic cancer is also found in high numbers in obese patients and patients with a family history of the disease, compared to others.

Dr. Silverman DT in the assessment of risk factors for pancreatic cancer, in a population-based case-control study of pancreatic cancer diagnosed in Atlanta (GA), Detroit (MI), and ten New Jersey counties from August 1986 through April 1989, including 526 incident cases and 2,153 population controls. wrote, "elevated body mass index and caloric intake had increased risk".

And, " A three-fold risk of pancreatic cancer among first-degree relatives of affected individuals was apparent. Increased risk also was associated with a family history of colon, endometrial, ovary, and breast cancer, suggesting a possible link to hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer".

Allicin is phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compounds, found abundantly in onion and garlic.

In finding the natural compound for the treatment of pancreatic cancer with no side effects, researchers evaluated the efficacy of combined treatment of the recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) and allicin on pancreatic cancer.

The study includes a total of 60 C57/BL6 nude mice pancreatic cancer xenograft models randomized and assigned into four groups of 15 mice per group: control group, allicin treatment group, rIL-2 treatment group, combined treatment with allicin, and rIL-2 group.

Mice in each group were treated with saline, rIL-2, allicin, or a combination of rIL-2 and allicin by weekly i.v injection for four weeks.

Treatment with the allicin and rIL-2 group significantly suppressed the xenograft growth and prolonged survival time, compared to other groups. Truly, the combined therapy group exerted the most amounts of apoptotic cells.

The combined treatment group anti-pancreatic cancer efficacy was attributed to the activation of levels of CD4+T, in stimulating other immune cells, killing cancer cells, and natural killer cells.

Furthermore, allicin and rIL-2 also increased the levels of Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), a cytokine produced by a variety of cells involved in the immune response against cancer cells, compared to other groups.

Dr. the lead researcher wrote in the final paper, "Combined treatment with allicin and rIL-2 resulted in suppression of tumor growth and prolonged survival time possibly through activation of CD4+T, CD8+T and NK cell".

Taken altogether, allicin isolated from the garlic may be considered a bioactive ingredient for the prevention and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

However, intake of allicin in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care in the prevention of overdose toxicity.

#Turmeric In Reducing the Risk of #DiabeticNeuropathy, Researchers Suggest

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of patients with diabetes associated with nerve damage, ranging from pain and numbness in your legs and feet to problems with your digestive system.

Most cases of diabetic neuropathy are involved in diabetics who have a history of hyperglycemia caused by long-term high levels of glucose in the bloodstream, urinary tract, blood vessels, and heart.

Diabetic neuropathy can be classified into 4 main types, including.
* Peripheral neuropathy is the most common type of diabetic neuropathy, affecting the nerves that control the feet and legs first, followed by the hands and arms.

* The autonomic neuropathy that affects the nerves that control the heart, bladder, stomach, intestines, sex organs, and eyes.

* Radiculoplexus neuropathy found mostly in older patients affects nerves that control the thighs, hips, buttocks or legs.

* Mononeuropathy or focal neuropathy also found commonly in older patients affects the nerves that control the face, middle of the body (torso), or leg.

The exact causes of diabetic neuropathy are totally depending on the type of neuropathy. However, damage of nerves and blood vessels in the affected area has been found to induce by over time, uncontrolled high blood sugar.

In other words, diabetic neuropathy is preventable by keeping the blood glucose in the healthy range.


Dr. Michael Greger M.D. FACLM in the article "the best diet for diabetic neuropathy" wrote, "
(By examing) people eating different diets found that nine months or more on a strict plant-based diet appeared to remove the trans fat from their bodies (or at least their butts). Their pain, however, didn’t take nine months to get better—it got better in days"

In the explanation of the results, the researcher continued, "More likely, it was due to an improvement in blood flow. “[N]erve biopsies in diabetics with severe progressive neuropathy…have shown small vessel disease within the nerve.” There are blood vessels within our nerves that can get clogged up too. The oxygen levels in the nerves of diabetics were found to be lower than even the levels of oxygenated blood".


Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, and wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

In the urgency to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy researchers examined the turmeric antioxidant property, anti-inflammatory, CNS depressant effect, antibacterial and antifungal property.

According to the results of the experiment, turmeric inhibited the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy by improving the antioxidant in the reduction of the level of oxidative stress associated with the occurrence of the present complication.

Furthermore, turmeric also enhanced the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity against the spread of infection.

In other words, turmeric inhibited diabetic neuropathy through a number of mechanisms involved in the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activity.

In order to review more information about the turmeric effect, researchers investigated Nishamalaki (NA), a combination of Curcuma longa and Emblica officinalis in the prevention of diabetic neuropathy.

The study included diabetic neuropathy in type 2 diabetic Wistar rats under treatment of 12 weeks.

Selected rats were randomly divided into group I (Control) vehicle-treated consists of 6 rats and
group II-VII Diabetic Control, NA low dose, NA High dose, Glibenclamide, Pioglitazone and Epalrestat respectively.

Diabetes-induced in 36 Wistar rats with Streptozotocin (STZ) (35mg/kg) intraperitoneally followed by a High Fat High Fructose diet. After confirmation of the development of diabetes; rats were divided into six groups as the aforementioned division.

Compared to other treatment groups, Nishamalaki (NA) not only controlled hyperglycemia and reduced lipid levels but also effectively prevented the development of diabetic neuropathy.

Taken altogether, turmeric used alone or combined with other herbal medicine may be considered supplements for the prevention of diabetic neuropathy, 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.

#Tomato In Reducing the Risk of #CardiovascularDiseases in #Diabetics, Scientists Show

By Kyle J. Norton

Oxidative stress is an imbalanced ratio of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes produced by the host.
In other words, diseases associated with oxidative stress such as cardiovascular diseases [CVDs],

 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer are results of the prolonged period of overexpression of free radicals compared to reduced levels of antioxidants.

Free radicals are unstable molecules with a single electron in the outer ring. Therefore, in order to become stable, free radicals readily steal or donate an electron from other molecules, leading to a free radical cascade that cannot be stopped until all outer ring electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

Antioxidants are stable molecules that inhibit oxidation.

Diabetes is a chronic condition of insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream, caused either by the gradual died-off of the beta cells in the pancreas or insulin receptors clogged up by cholesterol.

In our body, free radicals induced by cell metabolism for the body to function normally are inhibited by the antioxidant either produced by the body or the intake of antioxidant chemical compounds from dietary sources.

Free radicals can enter our body from environmental factors, such as the air we breathe, and the foods we eat.

Some researchers suggested that the reduced levels of antioxidants against the overexpression of free radicals most likely occurred in people with a weakened immune system such as the elderly due to aging.

Dr. Viviana I Pérez, the lead scientist said, "Currently, the Oxidative Stress (or Free Radical) Theory of Aging is the most popular explanation of how aging occurs at the molecular level".

And, "While data from studies in invertebrates (e.g., C. elegans and Drosophila) and rodents show a correlation between increased lifespan and resistance to oxidative stress (and in some cases reduced oxidative damage to macromolecules), direct evidence showing that alterations in oxidative damage/stress play a role in aging".

Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.

On finding a natural compound for the treatment of diabetes with no side effect, researchers examined the beneficial effect of tomatoes in diabetics.

Participants with a type-II diabetic group (n=40) and an age-matched control group (n=50 are included in the study.

Before treatment, the type-II diabetic group showed significantly lower levels of antioxidant enzymes and a very high lipid peroxidation rate compared to the control group.

According to the analysis of the short term supplementation, tomatoes (cooked) showed a significant improvement in antioxidant enzyme levels and decreased lipid peroxidation rate in the diabetic group for a period of 30 days.


Once again, in the total of 90 subjects included type 2 diabetic group (n = 40) and an age-matched control group (n = 50), researchers once against investigated the anti-diabetes activity of lycopene.

Patients with type 2 diabetes have significantly lower levels of antioxidant enzymes and very high lipid peroxidation, as well as higher levels of lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), compared to controls before the application of lycopene.

Long-term tomato supplementation in diabetes mellitus showed a significant improvement in the levels of antioxidant enzymes and decreased lipid peroxidation rate (p < 0.001), with no effect on lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin HbA1c levels.
