Cancer is a condition that varies, in severity, from one person to the next. While there are cases in which this can be cured with ease, which is fortunate to say the least, other cases show that more extreme measures will be needed. The way that this develops is through cancer cells, which is what I'd like to get into today. More specifically, though, I'd like to talk about how extra virgin olive oil may be incorporated in order to target these very cells.
The Olive Oil Times website detailed a study that showed how this type of product could kill cancer cells. This was illustrated by the work done by Paul Breslin and Onica LeGendre, a nutritional scientist and a chemist respectively, and they focused on oleocanthal in particular. For those who do not know, this is a rather common ingredient that's found in extra virgin olive oil. It also has its own slew of advantages, as I'm sure authorities such as Unaprol could attest to.
It seems like the incorporation of oleocanthal has the ability to rupture certain areas of cancerous cells. What this means is that they will soon release enzymes, which ultimately results in their death. This is an example of antioxidants working with the body in order to reduce free radicals, in addition to prevent inflammation. The fact that oleocanthal can be used to kill off cancer cells in about 30 minutes, according to the article, cannot be overstated.
What I found to be especially interesting is that oleocanthal can work in order to help a number of creatures. Not only have humans been influenced by this chemical, as you can clearly see, but animals can benefit from this as well. In fact, Breslin said that the incorporation of this ingredient can reduce the sizes of tumors in mice. Even though studies are relatively early - and will definitely require more time - there is a level of potential that cannot be denied.
One of the biggest medical discussions, to say the least, is the idea of cures for cancer. Unfortunately, there aren't cures that can be considered solid, which is why a story like this happens to be so noteworthy. It shows that the ingredients in foods that we love, extra virgin olive oil included, have the potential to bring about more positive medical change. It's just a matter of how much information is obtained, and the level of work that's conducted in research as well.
