Pecans can prevent prostate cancer

Through experimental research on animals, American scientists have demonstrated that pecans are able to control the development of prostate cancer.

Pecans, we often call walnuts, in Eastern medicine, it is also called the Shame Lake or the Peach Nuts.Source: Wikipedia.

To study the effect of pecans on the development of prostate tumors, scientists at the Davis Institute, University of California, USA conducted the division of mice with prostate tumors in the human wall. 2 groups. Then add the pecans to the food of one of these two groups. The pecan content is about the same as a daily adult, about 2.4 ounces (68 grams).

After 18 weeks of experimentation, compared to mice that did not eat the pecan, the growth rate of the tumors in these mice decreased by 30-40%.

Paul Davis, who is in charge of this research, brought the results of this study to the Conference of the American Chemical Society. Paul Davis said: 'Not only does it diminish or reduce the growth rate of prostate tumors in the bodies of test mice, but a level of protein level is closely related to the prostate cancer of the blood of they also show a marked decrease. Therefore, the results of this study are very likely to be applied on humans'.

In the pecans are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin E elements, and so on. In the past, scientists have shown that pecans can prevent high blood cholesterol levels. In addition, pecans are also very good for the health of patients with arteriosclerosis, heart, brain .
