绿色蔬菜和麦草中的叶绿素帮助抗癌

 

叶绿素是在深绿色植物中发现的一种色素，对光合作用的发生至关重要;然而，这种色素不仅仅促进植物的能量生产。莱纳斯鲍林研究所(Linus Pauling Institute)的迈克尔T西蒙尼奇(Michael T. Simonich)表示，叶绿素实际上有助于抗癌细胞生长，并在体内起到抗氧化剂的作用。

叶绿素可以防止在被真菌污染的坚果和谷物中发现的各种化学致癌物如黄曲霉素，肉类被过度烹饪时产生的有毒物质，以及空气中因污染而产生的致癌物。它通过阻断破坏DNA的前致癌物的新陈代谢来达到这个目的。通过防止DNA被破坏，癌症的生长被抑制和阻止。

叶绿素的作用在中国东部地区得到了证明，那里的谷物和坚果真菌污染非常普遍。由于被污染的谷物和坚果，许多中国人遭受了肝脏损害和癌症。在补充叶绿素(叶绿素的合成对抗成分)300mg(每天三次100mg)后，该人群中肝癌的发病率显著下降。中国研究人员已经开始进一步研究叶绿素的抗氧化、抗诱变特性。

关于叶绿素的生物利用度以及它是如何代谢的，人们知之甚少。我们所知道的是，它在癌症治疗中是有效的，并且具有强抗氧化性。补充叶绿素是相当容易的——所需要的只是一种叫做小球藻的物质的补充。小球藻是绿藻，是比膳食来源更好的叶绿素来源，因为它是更集中的叶绿素来源。但补充并不总是必要的。对于慢性病患者来说，补充营养更为必要。对于那些没有慢性疾病的人来说，简单的饮食改变就足够了，并且提供足够的叶绿素来预防将来的并发症。无论如何，补充可能会有更多的风险:尽管目前的数据不能找到叶绿素的毒性水平，但增加叶绿素并不总是好的。

　

叶绿色阻断致癌物的吸收

 

叶绿素的主要来源是深绿色蔬菜，如菠菜、甘蓝、青豆、芝麻菜、韭菜和更多的深绿色蔬菜。此外，进食前或进食时服用叶绿素可大大减低食物的致癌作用。由于叶绿素主要起着阻断剂的作用，因此叶绿素可以通过形成一个分子复合体而阻止致癌物的吸收，而这个复合体太大而不能在小肠内被吸收。换句话说，为了获得全面的抗癌效果，在吃完牛排之前吃一份由菠菜、羽衣甘蓝、欧芹(或小球藻补充剂)和其他绿色食品组成的沙拉将有助于防止这些致癌化合物的形成。

但是，如果在食用了致癌的食物后食用叶绿素，就没有什么好处了，因为这种致癌物已经被吸收和吸收了。因此，在吃任何可能有致癌作用的东西之前吃蔬菜沙拉是很重要的。

(NewsTarget) Chlorophyll is a pigment found in dark green plants that is important for photosynthesis to take place; however, this pigment does more than just facilitate energy production in plants. According to Michael T. Simonich of the Linus Pauling Institute, chlorophyll actually helps fight cancer cell growth and acts as an antioxidant in the body.

Chlorophyll protects against various chemical carcinogens found in fungus-contaminated nuts and grains, the toxic materials created when meat has been overcooked, and carcinogens in the air that result from pollution. It does this by blocking the metabolism of chemicals known as procarcinogens that damage DNA. By preventing DNA from being damaged, cancer growth is inhibited and prevented.

The strength of chlorophyll was demonstrated by applying it in eastern China where fungal contamination of grains and nuts is very common. Because of the contaminated grains and nuts, many Chinese people suffered from liver damage and cancer. After supplementing with chlorophyllin –- the synthetic counter part of chlorophyll –- at 300mg (100mg three times daily), the incidence of liver cancer among that population decreased significantly. Further investigation into the antioxidant, anti-mutagenic properties of chlorophyll by Chinese researchers has begun.

There is little known about the bioavailability of chlorophyll and how it is metabolized. What is known is that it is effective in aiding in cancer treatment and it has potent antioxidant properties. Supplementation of chlorophyll is fairly easy –- all that is needed is a supplement of a substance known as chlorella. Chlorella is green algae, and is a preferable source of chlorophyll than dietary sources because it is a more concentrated supply of chlorophyll. But supplementation isn’t always necessary. Supplementation would be more necessary for the chronically ill. Simple dietary changes that could be made would suffice for those who are not chronically ill, and would provide an adequate amount of chlorophyll to prevent any future complications. There may be more risk with supplementation anyway: even though current data cannot find a toxicity level for chlorophyll, more is not always better.

Great sources of chlorophyll would be dark greens such as spinach, kale, green beans, arugula, leeks and many more dark greens. Furthermore, taking chlorophyll before or at meal-time greatly reduces the carcinogenic effects of food. Since it primarily acts as a blocking agent, chlorophyll is able to block the absorption of the carcinogen by forming a molecular complex too large to be assimilated in the small intestine. In other words, to get the full anti-cancer benefits, eating a salad comprised of spinach, kale, parsley (or a chlorella supplement) and other green-goodies before that well-done steak will help prevent the development of those cancer-causing compounds.

If chlorophyll is consumed after having cancer-causing food items, however, there will be little benefit because the carcinogen has been ingested and assimilated. Therefore, it is important to have your veggie-filled salad before eating anything that may have carcinogenic effects.
