Soybeans prevent colon cancer

We all know soy is beneficial for health, but scientists recently said that soy also works to prevent colorectal cancer, which is the third most deadly cancer.

According to Oakland Research Center (USA) scientists, natural lipid molecules called sphingadiene (SD) found in soy can help prevent colorectal cancer. This information is important to help researchers better understand the structure and metabolism of SD in the development of a new drug for treating colon cancer. According to the team, SD was first discovered in a study in fruit flies, SD toxicity to cells that could kill harmful or mutant cancer cells.

This result could help scientists develop a new drug that helps treat and prevent colon cancer. However, more research is needed to verify SD toxicity and find the best way to put SD into the patient's body.
