Bitter melon juice is good for pancreatic cancer patients

A recent study by American scientists has proven that bitter melon helps prevent and destroy pancreatic cancer cells.

Scientists at the CU Cancer Center and Skaggs School of Medicine and Pharmacy in Colorado (USA) have discovered that bitter melon juice helps glucose metabolism, limits the energy supply to pancreatic cancer cells and destroys them without affecting normal cells.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers, with a high mortality rate because it is not easy to detect. In the US alone, there are about 45,220 cases detected each year and 38,460 deaths.

The research team found that after giving mice bitter melon juice, the ability of pancreatic cancer cells to grow was reduced by 60%. The rate was similar for pancreatic cancer cells cultured in Petri dishes (bacteria culture dishes) in the laboratory.

Many researchers are developing new drugs to limit the energy supply to cancer cells. But now we have a natural compound that can do just that, says Professor Rajesh Agarwal.

According to some other research results, bitter melon is a fruit extremely rich in vitamins and minerals such as: 0.9% Protein; 0.1% Lipid; 0.2% carbohydrates and many other vitamins such as: calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron...
