A study reveals that nuts reduces colon cancer
According to the Times Now News website, researchers of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Connecticut, USA, reported that the nuts contain vegetable chemicals called elagitanine, which are reassured by the bacteria of the intestine and turn into effective anti -inflammatory compounds known as the eurolithin, and the high levels of the eurolithin, which is formed by the bacteria of the intestine after eating Walnuts, positively on immune cells in the colon, may be associated with a general decrease in inflammatory indicators. The study was conducted on 39 participants between the ages of 40 and 60, all of whom are classified as more likely to develop colon cancer.
Participants avoided elagitanine -containing foods and drinks for a week to reduce eurolithin in their bodies almost to zero, and then underwent accurate monitoring while following a diet that includes eating walnuts, and after three weeks, they underwent high -resolution colonoscopy.
The results of the study revealed that there is a direct link between eating walnuts, increasing eurolithin levels, and low levels of common proteins related to colon cancer, and this included a protein of Vimininin, associated with more advanced types of colon cancer.
