加拿大滑铁卢大学科学家 发现牛油果可以杀死急性白血病细胞!

Scientists Find Avocados Kill AML Leukemia Cells!

　

牛油果是最富含营养的食物之一。从纤维到叶酸，钾，维生素E和镁，它们真的很有效!不出所料，这使得鳄梨在预防甚至逆转一些疾病方面非常有效。

最近的一项研究让每个人都喜欢的绿色水果与最致命的癌症之一——急性骨髓性白血病作对比。这种病好发于在65岁以上的人群中，90%的患者在5年内会死亡。不幸的是，它也是成人中最常见的白血病。

更糟糕的是，针对急性髓细胞白血病干细胞根源的治疗方法非常少。这就是鳄梨的由来。

“干细胞在很大程度上导致了疾病的发展，这也是为什么那么多白血病患者复发的原因，”斯巴格诺罗教授说。“我们已经进行了多轮测试，以确定这种新药在分子水平上是如何发挥作用的，并证实它有选择地针对干细胞，使健康的细胞不受伤害。”

准备好接受更多好消息了吗? Spagnuolo教授正在为第1期临床试验准备牛油果B，在此期间，AML患者可以在受控环境中使用牛油果B。

他与再生医学商业化中心合作，再生医学是一个非盈利组织，其重点是研究干细胞和生物材料技术。

事实上，牛油果B可能需要几年的时间才能成为一种广泛应用的癌症治疗药物。当然，这是假设FDA和大型制药公司甚至允许它进入美国;还记得整个维生素B17的崩溃吗?

也就是说，你不必等到“反洗钱”开始使用鳄梨来抗癌。在你今天的饮食中加入足够多的水果实际上可以从一开始就预防癌症的发生!

另外，不要丢弃鳄梨籽:它们是富含抗氧化剂的超级食物!

研究表明鳄梨含有一种抗癌的化合物，叫做类胡萝卜素。每顿只吃2盎司鳄梨(1/3个水果)就能大大提高人体对类胡萝卜素的储存能力。

牛油果中的维生素E还可以治疗乳腺癌和前列腺癌。据估计，今年约有26120人死于前列腺癌。这种维生素迫使细胞凋亡，这本质上是细胞自杀。这甚至适用于抵抗传统癌症治疗方法诱导细胞凋亡的癌细胞类型。

怎样吃鳄梨效果最好

为了获得最佳的效果，你会想要在牛油果稍微成熟的时候吃它。要识别成熟的鳄梨，试着剥去它的茎帽。它是否很容易脱落，露出了下面的绿色斑点?它是完美的!如果斑点是棕色的，那么它就过熟了——吃起来完全没问题，但是你会错过所有的好处。

Scientists Find Avocados Kill And Prevent Cancer!

Avocados are one of the most nutrient-dense foods out there. From fiber to folate, potassium, vitamin E and magnesium, they really pack a punch! Unsurprisingly, this makes avocados very effective at preventing and even reversing a number of diseases.

One recent study pits everyone’s favorite green fruit against one of the deadliest cancers out there – acute myeloid leukemia. 90% of people over the age of 65 who get AML die from it within 5 years. Unfortunately, it’s also the most common form of leukemia in adults.

To make matters even worse, there are very few treatment options available that target the root cause of AML – leukemia stem cells. That’s where avocados come in.

Professor Paul Spagnuolo at the University of Waterloo discovered that a particular fatty acid in avocados – avocatin B – targets the leukemia stem cells like no man-made cancer drug can.

“The stem cell is largely responsible for the disease developing and it’s the reason why so many patients with leukemia relapse,” Professor Spagnuolo said. “We’ve performed many rounds of testing to determine how this new drug works at a molecular level and confirmed that it targets stem cells selectively, leaving healthy cells unharmed.”

Ready for more good news? Professor Spagnuolo is actually currently preparing avocatin B for Phase 1 clinical trials, during which live AML patients will have access to it in a controlled setting.

He’s partnered with the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine, a non-profit organization whose focus is researching stem cells and biomaterial-based technologies.

The reality is that it could be a few years before avocatin B becomes a widely available cancer treatment. Of course, that’s assuming the FDA and Big Pharma even allow it into the U.S.; remember the whole vitamin B17 debacle?

That said, you don’t have to wait until you’ve got AML to begin using avocados to fight cancer. Fitting plenty of the fruit into your diet today can actually prevent the development of cancer in the first place!

Studies have shown that avocados contain a breast cancer-fighting compound known as carotenoids. Eating as little as 2 ounces of avocado (1/3rd a full fruit) per meal greatly enhances the body’s storage of carotenoids.

The vitamin E in avocados also targets breast cancer, as well as prostate cancer – a disease which will kill an estimated 26,120 people this year. The vitamin forces the cells into apoptosis, which is essentially cell suicide. This even works for types of cancer cells that resist attempts at inducing apoptosis with conventional cancer treatment methods.

How To Eat Avocado For The Best Results

For optimal benefits, you’ll want to eat the avocado when it’s just slightly ripe. To identify a ripe avocado, try to peel the stem cap. If the stem cap does not come off with ease, the fruit is not yet ripe. Did it come off easily and reveal a green spot underneath? It’s perfect! If the spot is brown, it’s overripe – it’ll be totally fine to eat, but you’ll miss out on the full benefits.
