Pinto Beans, the Promising Anti-Type-2 Diabetes Functional Food, According to Study

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.

In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose due to either cell in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.

Researchers do not know what causes the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up. However, they do know obesity or overweight, gender, ethnicity, age, family history, gestation diabetes, are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Some researchers also suggested that people with certain medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome. and high blood pressure is more prone to the onset of the disease.

The most common symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst and hunger, frequent urination, unintended weight loss or gain, frequent fatigue, irritability and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea.

In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms of blurred vision and slow wound healing or ulcer.

Hyperglycemia, a medical condition of abnormally high blood glucose, is a major concern, in people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Most cases of hyperglycemia occurred in patients who do not manage their diabetes properly.

Hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes has been found to induce diabetics complications, including neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy). ...

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress, scientists examined the effects of bioactive peptide fractions from de-hulled hard-to-cook (HTC) bean on enzyme targets of type-2 diabetes and oxidative stress.
The tested Protein isolated from Pinto Durango and Negro 8025 beans were hydrolyzed (120min) with either alcalase® or bromelain and separated into five peptide fractions.

Pinto bean is also known as common bean, genus Phaseolus and the family Fabaceae. It has a mottled appearance of darker reddish-brown spots on a lighter brownish beige background, thus appearing painted or spotted.

According to tested analysis,
* The <1kDa pinto Durango-bromelain fraction showed the best inhibition of α-amylase (49.9±1.4%) associated with the causes of hyperglycemia and development of type 2 diabetes.

* Furthermore, the <1kDa pinto Durango-alcalase fraction inhibited both, α-glucosidase (76.4±0.5%), and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV, 55.3±1.6%) involved in the elevated blood glucose levels.

* Hydrolysates and peptide fractions showed antioxidant capacity (ORAC: 159.6±2.9 to 932.6±1.1mmolTE/g) and nitric oxide inhibition (57.5±0.9 to 68.3±4.2%) that inhibit the overexpression of oxidative stress found in type 2 diabetics.

* Moreover, the hydrolysates and fractions <1 and 1-3kDa were able to increase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from iNS-1E cells up to 57%, compared to glucose control.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, " Hydrolysates from HTC beans inhibited enzymes related to diabetes management, being the smallest peptides (<1kDa) the most potent. HTC bean could be a source of protein to produce bioactive peptides with potential antidiabetic properties".

Taken altogether, Pinto beans may process antioxidant and anti-diabetes properties, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Topical Leek Extract, A Potent Cream for the Treatment of Symptomatic Hemorrhoids

By Kyle J. Norton

Hemorrhoids, also called piles are a common condition characterized by swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum.

Symptomatic hemorrhoidal tissues located above the dentate line associated with the development of internal hemorrhoids that induce bleeding and prolapse.

The causes of hemorrhoids are unknown.

However, some researchers suggested that straining during bowel movements, a prolonged period of sitting due to the occupation that induces increased pressure on these veins are associated with the early onset of the condition.

In women, a pregnancy that causes pressure on the anus and swollen veins and lower rectum veins may also increase the risk of hemorrhoids.

According to statistics, a quarter of adults population in the US have hemorrhoids developed at some points in their lives.

Most patients with hemorrhoids do not experience any symptoms. But in some infectious cases, hemorrhoids may induce symptoms of itching, discomfort, and bleeding.

Please be aware that some internal hemorrhoids can grow so large that they stick out of the anus. Prolapsed hemorrhoids, most of the time may require surgery to heal.

Dr. Seok-Gyu Song, the lead scientists wrote, "The traditional therapeutic strategies of medicine include surgical, as well as non-surgical, treatment. To alleviate symptoms caused by hemorrhoids, oral treatments, such as fiber, suppositories and Sitz baths have been applied to patients".

And, "Other non-surgical treatments, such as infrared photocoagulation, injection sclerotherapy, and rubber band ligation have been used to fixate hemorrhoid's cushion. If non-surgical treatment has no effect, surgical treatments, such as a hemorrhoidectomy, procedure for prolapsed hemorrhoids, and transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization are used".

Leek is a genius of Allium, belongings to the vegetable family vegetable Alliacaea, the same as onion and garlic. Leeks are easy to grow from seed and usually reach maturity in the autumn months, and have few pest or disease problems.

On finding a potential plant for the treatment of swollen veins. researchers compared the effects of topical herbal formulations and Allium ampeloprasum subsp iranicum (Leek)  anti hemorrhoidal activity.

According to the results of 20 patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids that were randomly allocated to receive the topical leek extract cream or standard anti hemorrhoid cream for 3 weeks,

* There was a significant decrease in the grade of bleeding severity and defecation discomfort in both the leek and anti hemorrhoid cream groups after the intervention.

* There was no significant change in pain scores.

* There was no significant difference between the leek and anti hemorrhoid cream groups with regard to mean changes in outcome measures.

Collectively, researchers said, "This pilot study showed that the topical use of leek cream can be as effective as a standard anti hemorrhoid cream".

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

Healthy Food Amtak Baechu Cabbage Induces Pancreatic Cancer Cells Death

By Kyle J. Norton

The pancreas is an oblong flattened gland in the digestive and endocrine system located in the abdomen. By secreting pancreatic juice to the small intestine, the pancreas aids the digestive system to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

Traditional Chinese medicine suggested that the pancreas is a vital organ responsible for the absorption of foods' qi and nutrients before passing them to other organs to nourish our body.

Pancreatic cancer is a chronic condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the tissues of the pancreas.

Most cases of pancreas cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining tissue. However, as the cancer progress, the malignant cells of the pancreas, although unusual may travel a far distance away to infect other healthy tissue and organs.

The pancreas cancer was found to be the site of metastasis from renal cell cancer, lung, colon and breast cancers.

According to statistics, every year, approximately, over 55,000 adults in the United States are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, accounting for 3% of all cancers and 7% of all cancer deaths.

The survival rate of pancreatic cancer even diagnosed early is very low compared to other types of cancer. The 5-year survival rate at stage IA pancreatic cancer is only14%.

The exact causes of pancreatic cancer are identified. However, epidemiological studies suggested that the increase in age, family history, race, gender, smoking, being obese or overweight and a medical condition such as diabetes is the most prevalent risk of the disease.

The genetic and acquired genetic mutation of p16 and TP53 and KRAS, BRAF, and DPC4 (SMAD4) were also found in patients with pancreatic cancer.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer property activity researchers investigated the effects of kimchi prepared using the standard Baechu cabbage and Amtak Baechu cabbage on hepatic cancer cells.

The study included 4 different kimchi samples prepared for this study which are t(1) the standard Baechu cabbage and dry salt treatment method (SK-D); (2) the Amtak Baechu cabbage and dry salt treatment method (AK-D); (3) the standard Baechu cabbage and brine solution treatment method (SK-B); and (4) the Amtak Baechu cabbage and brine solution treatment method (AK-B).

Based on the results of the analysis, 

* The liver cancer cells showed a significant increase in cell growth inhibition when exposed to AK-D and AK-B compared with SK-D and SK-B (p < 0.05). At 2.0 mg/mL, 

* AK-B and AK-D treatment exerted 2.0 times against the Capan-2 cells, compared with SK-B and SK-D.

* AK-D and AK-B treatment compared with SK-D and SK-B demonstrated a significant increase of tumor-suppressive p21 levels associated with apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

* AK-B displayed higher ongoing cytotoxic effects compared with AK-D.

Based on the evidence, researchers said,. "Overall, these results indicate that kimchi made with Amtak Baechu cabbage and treated with brine solution (AK-B) had a superior anticancer potential against both types of cancer cells, with the effects being greater in pancreatic cancer cells compared with liver cancer cells".

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

Broccoli' Sulforaphane, (SFN) Inhibited the Risk of Neutrophilic Airway Inflammation

By Kyle J. Norton

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.

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 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 of the ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidants, the major cause of oxidative stress.

Airway inflammation is a lung inflammatory caused by both allergens and immune mistakenly attacks the respiratory tissues.

Chronic airway disease predominantly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been increased at an alarming rate in the US over the past 20 years.

According to the statistics provided by the WHO, globally, approximately 65 million people suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), causing the death of 3 million each year. and 334 million people suffer from asthma, affecting 14% of all children globally.

In the US, the prevalence of chronic airway disease was found to cause a major financial burden to society, with both direct and indirect costs.

Neutrophilic airway inflammation is a severe condition that play s a role in the progression of persistent airflow limitation in asthma and raises the possibility that this progression and the development of COPD.

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.

With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases, researchers examined the effect of sulforaphane, an active compound of broccoli anti-airway inflammation

The study included 16subjects that were randomized, and fifteen subjects completed all visits. 

According to the tested analysis, 3 days of broccoli sprout homogenate (BSH) significantly increased levels of SFN (p = 0.001) and its major metabolites. However, the BSH supplementation group showed no significant difference in sputum neutrophilia compared to the placebo. 

Despite significantly increased plasma levels of SFN in the BSH group, post-O3 gene expression of NRF2 and phase II antioxidant defense genes in NECs and peripheral blood were not significantly different from placebo.

In other words, SFN with broccoli sprout homogenate in healthy human subjects did not induce the expression of antioxidant genes, NRF2.

Furthermore,  BSH induced high levels of SFN does not protect against neutrophilic airway inflammation in an ozone-exposure model. 

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " These contradictory results may be due to different systemic levels of SFN achieved with dietary supplementation with BSH, which is not standardized"

And "However, because variability exists in the timing and methods of detection for SFN conjugate levels, it is difficult to compare systemic SFN levels across studies".

In other words, SFN protected the integrity of the neurons against neuron damage through it's anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective activities.

Taken altogether, broccoli sprouts processed abundantly SFN may not be considered supplements for the prevention of neutrophilic airway inflammation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.



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

Kimchi (Fematneted Cabbage) Reduces the Risk of Colorectal Cancer

By Kyle J. Norton

Colorectum formed part of the secretory system including the large intestine and the rectum is the second part of the digestive system involved in the absorption of water from the small bowel contents and breaks down of certain materials in the feces into substances of which some of them to be reabsorbed and reused by the body.

The colon formed part of the large intestine plays a critical role in re-absorbing fluids and processing waste products from the body for elimination.

The colon consists of four parts: descending colon, ascending colon, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon

The rectum or the part of the large intestine nearest the rectum plays a temporary storehouse for feces.

Colorectal cancer is a medical condition caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue of the colon or rectum.

Most cases of colorectal cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining in the colon and rectum, before penetrating into deeper layers to form a tumor through proliferation.

Colorectal cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progresses cancer in a predictable way.

The disease is more common in people over the age of 50. Regular colonoscopy after the age of 50 is valuable to detect the disease in the early stage, thereby increasing the rate of survival.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer, including cancer in the colon or rectum is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the United States.

In 2019, approximately 101,420 new cases of colon cancer and 44,180 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed in the US.

The 5-year survival rate of colorectal cancer diagnosed at the localized stage is 90%. Sadly, only 39% of patients are diagnosed at this early stage.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem with a crowded mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

On findings a natural wholefood for the prevention of cancer, researchers examined the effects of commercial kimchi (CK), standardized kimchi (SK), cancer-preventive kimchi (CPK), and anticancer kimchi (ACK), on colorectal carcinogenesis in mice.

Male BALB/c mice induced colon cancer with a single intraperitoneal injection of azoxymethane (AOM, 10 mg/kg body weight) and subsequent treatment with 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water for 7 days for two cycles.

According to the experimental analysis.
* Treatment with the methanolic extracts from different kimchis, particularly 1.89 g/kg of ACK, significantly increased colon length, decreased the ratio of colon weight/length, and resulted in the lowest number of tumors compared with the other kimchi-treated groups.

In other words, the kimchi extract protected the colonic cells against the alternation of DNA.

* Injection of ACK was able to suppress AOM- and DSS-induced colonic mucosal damage and neoplasia.

* ACK also significantly decreased the mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-γ) as well as the mRNA and protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) to induce protein, lipid, and cell DNA damage.

* Mote importantly, kimchi extract enhanced the tumor-suppressive genes on AOM- and DSS-induced colorectal carcinogenesis in the BALB/c mice.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " The anticancer effects of ACK were particularly potent. Thus, it is possible that the health-promoting sub-ingredients added to ACK might be used to prevent colon carcinogenesis in humans".

Taken altogether, cabbage may process anti colorectal activity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Green Peas (Pisum Sativum) Inhibits the Risk of Atherosclerosis induced Heart Diseases

By Kyle J. Norton

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 location of blood obstruction, atherosclerosis can induce different types of heart disease and stroke.

Plaque is the make 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, coronary heart disease mortality rate was about 60%.

Atherosclerosis is a slow, progressive disease that may begin as early as childhood, caused by damage to the inner lining of the artery. However, the actual causes of the condition are debatable.

Long term high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides (a type of fat) in the blood. Particularly, in high levels of insulin in the blood from diabetes and in exposure to chemicals from smoking tobacco.

Patients with early stages of atherosclerosis may not experience any symptoms. However, as the disease progress, patients may have the symptoms of chest pain if the blockage occurs in an artery of the heart (coronary artery) and leg cramps during exercise or walking if the blockage occurs in the legs.

In the advanced stage, if atherosclerosis can lead to a heart attack and stroke, respectively.

Green peas are species of Pisum Sativum belongings to the family Fabaceae and native to western Asia from the Mediterranean Sea to the Himalaya Mountains. The pea is a green, pod-shaped vegetable and a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world.

On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of diseases associated with arterial plaques accumulation, researchers investigated the impact of a diet rich in green and yellow vegetables on the development of atherosclerosis.

The study included a mouse model of atherosclerosis, randomized into 2 diet groups: 1) a vegetable-free control diet (n = 53) and 2) the same diet with 30% (w:w) replaced by an equal-parts mixture of freeze-dried peas, green beans, broccoli, corn, and carrots (n = 54), for 16 weeks.


According to the tested analysis,
* Aortic atherosclerosis estimated by cholesteryl ester content, was reduced 38% (P < 0.001) in mice fed the vegetable-rich diet.

* Plasma total cholesterol (-12%), VLDL + ILDL cholesterol (-32%), serum amyloid A (-37%), and body weight (-7%) (all P < 0.01) were also lower in vegetable-rich diet mice at the end of the treatment period. comapred to control.

* In a regression model, a vegetable-rich diet demonstrated antiatherogenic effects of the vegetable diet without explaining the levels of plasma lipoproteins or body weight.

Based on the results, scientists said, " ...a diet rich in green and yellow vegetables inhibits the development of atherosclerosis and may, therefore, lead to a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease".

Taken altogether, green peas may be considered a functional food for the prevention of atherosclerosis induced heart diseases,  pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Common Fig or Fig (Ficus carica) Processes Antiproliferative Bioactive Compounds

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.

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Normal cell division has a limit cycle before replaced by new cells.

Antiproliferative activity is the process that inhibits cancer cell growth, including inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

Fig is a species of F. carica, belonging to the family Moraceae. It is a deciduous shrub, native to Southeast Asia. The tree can grow to a height of 33 ft and the fruit can be as large as 2.0 inches

On finding a potential ingredient for the treatment of cancers, scientists investigated the potential anti-proliferative activity of chemical constituents of the fruits of F. Carica.

According to the tested differentiation, prenylated isoflavone derivatives (1-16) displayed remarkable inhibitory effects against free radical nitric oxide (NO) production with the IC50 values ranging from 0.89 ± 0.05 to 8.49 ± 0.18 μM, comparable to a positive control (hydrocortisone) in inducing oxidative stress to cause DNA damage in healthy cells.

In chemical analysis, all compounds from1-16 also exhibited pronounced antiproliferative activities against a number of human cancer cell lines in vitro, with IC50 values ranging from 0.18 ± 0.03 to 18.76 ± 0.09 μM.

In other words, regular consumption of the fruits of F. carica exerted a preventive effect against diseases associated with inflammation and tumors.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " the isolation and characterization of these prenylated isoflavone derivatives possessing remarkable anti-inflammatory effects and antiproliferative activities could be meaningful to the discovery of new anti-inflammatory and antitumor agents".

Taken altogether, Common fig or fig may be considered a functional food for the prevention of inflammatory disease and cancers, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
