不能以貌取人。食物也是一样。

　

苦瓜可能看起来很有趣(就像疣状的黄瓜)，味道也可能很强烈，但它能杀死癌细胞。

　

爱吃糖的癌细胞不喜欢它。

 

苦瓜的汁液（BMJ）(又称苦瓜或苦瓜)含有一种抑制葡萄糖(糖)运输的酶，可以切断癌细胞的食物供应。

　

　

 

苦瓜汁可以杀死癌细胞

　

当苦瓜汁被引入胰腺癌细胞后，癌细胞的发展就停止并逆转。老鼠在食用后患癌症的可能性降低了60%。

 

“BMJ[苦瓜汁]在体内也能抑制细胞增殖，诱导细胞凋亡并激活AMPK[细胞能量状态的生物标志物]。总的来说，BMJ对人类胰腺癌细胞有很强的抗癌作用。

 

2013年的一项研究发现，对头颈癌也有类似的反应;当小鼠被喂食苦瓜汁时，肿瘤停止生长。

　

　

 

苦瓜汁也可以治疗糖尿病

　

研究人员提出的测试苦瓜抗胰腺癌功效的方法很有趣: 之前的研究已经证实苦瓜在治疗糖尿病方面是有效的。

 

成人糖尿病是由多种因素引起的:胰腺不能产生足够的胰岛素来调节血液中的血糖水平，细胞对胰岛素(胰岛素抵抗)的反应敏感性下降。

 

因为苦瓜汁阻断了血液中的葡萄糖通道，血糖水平降低了。此外，果汁中的化合物刺激细胞膜，允许糖的摄入。

 

因为苦瓜汁会影响胰腺的胰岛素分泌，科学家们想知道这是否会对胰腺产生其它影响。

　

　

 

他们是对的。

在中国和印度的传统医学中，苦瓜被用来治疗伤口、治疗发烧、咳嗽、皮肤状况、绞痛、烧伤和抗病毒药物。在更现代的应用中，它有助于减肥，降低肾结石的发病率，增强免疫系统，是肝脏的解毒剂。

 

它可以生吃(非常苦，应该和其他配料混合，以改善其强烈的味道; 腌制可以减轻苦味，不管你是生吃还是烹煮，煮熟，榨汁，还是用酊剂。当然，苦瓜生的时候最有营养，但是苦瓜的苦味很重，这是一个挑战。

　

警告:苦瓜过量会引起腹痛和腹泻。

　

所以屏住呼吸，闭上眼睛，用力吞咽——这是一种值得尝试的苦药。

 

Cancer Cells Will HATE You For Drinking Bitter Melon Juice And Here’s Why

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

 

Same goes for food.

 

Fitting into the stereotypical if-it’s-good-for-me-it-can’t-taste-good category, bitter melon may look funny (like a warty cucumber) and may have a sharp taste, but it kills cancer cells.

 

 

 

It Really is Bitter–Sugar-Loving Cancer Doesn’t Like it.

Commonly used in Chinese cooking and medicine, the juice of bitter melons (also known as bitter gourd or karela) contains an enzyme that inhibits the transportation of glucose (sugar), cutting off cancer cells’ food supply.

 

bitter melon juice kills cancer cells

 

When bitter melon juice was introduced to pancreatic cancer cells, progression was halted and reversed. Mice were sixty percent less likely to develop the cancer after consuming it.

 

“BMJ [bitter melon juice] also inhibits proliferation, induces apoptosis and activates AMPK [a biomarker for cellular energy status] in vivo. Overall, BMJ exerts strong anticancer efficacy against human pancreatic carcinoma cells.”[1]

 

A 2013 study found similar response to head and neck cancer; when mice were fed bitter melon juice, tumors stopped growing.[2]

 

One Thing Leads to Another.

The way in which the researchers came up with the idea to test for bitter melon’s effectiveness against pancreatic cancer is interesting: previous studies had already established bitter melon as effective in the treatment of diabetes.

 

Diabetes in adults is caused by a combination of factors: the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin to moderate sugar levels in the blood and the decreased capacity of cells to respond to insulin (insulin resistance).

 

Because bitter melon juice interrupts glucose pathways in the blood, the levels are reduced. Additionally, compounds in the juice stimulated cell membranes to allow sugar intake.[3]

 

Because bitter melon juice influenced insulin production in the pancreas, scientists wondered if maybe there might be other implications for the pancreas.

 

They were right.

 

In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, bitter melon has been used to heal wounds, treat fever, cough, skin conditions, colic, burns, and as an antiviral. In more modern applications, it aids in weight loss, reduces the incidence of kidney stones, boosts the immune system, and is a liver detoxifier.

 

It can be eaten raw (it is extremely bitter and should be mixed with other ingredients to ameliorate its strong flavor; salting it will reduce the bitterness, whether you choose to eat it raw or cook it), cooked, the juice extracted, or in a tincture. Of course, bitter melon is at its most nutritious when raw but that can be a challenge due to its strong bitter flavor.

 

Warning: in excess, bitter melon can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea.

 

So hold your breath, close your eyes, and swallow hard—this is one bitter pill that is worth trying.
