Cancer & The Helpfulness Of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

By Katie Onson


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.

Further, it seems as though oleocanthal can be utilized for the purpose of helping various species. While it's clear that this can have a positive influence on humans, Breslin reported that the utilization of this ingredient can also shrink tumors in mice. What this shows is that such a component has more than its fair share of advantages. It's just a matter of how well they are used, which is what this study has been able to cover in tremendous detail.

The biggest problem with cancer, as a whole, is that it's hard to discuss potential cures. There are none which exist, as of this moment, and to say that this is a concern would be putting it mildly. However, studies like this one regarding extra virgin olive oil have shown that there are ways to reduce risk, if not totally eliminate the problem. As long as studies are continually carried out, I am certain that we will see more positive results before long.
