Avocados have been known to have Oral Cancer Defense; they seek pre-cancerous and cancerous cancer cells and has been said to destroy them.” These studies suggest that phytochemicals from the avocado fruit can be utilized for making active chemoprotective ingredient for lowering the side effect of chemotherapy like cyclophosphamide in cancertherapy.[1]” I still am reading more research but thus far, that gives us lots of hope.
I also read that ”Whole-blood and dietary may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. The association may be related to avocado intakes. High blood linolenic acid was directly related to prostate cancer. These associations warrant further investigation. [2]”
Avocados not only help with cancer, they are also known to help with your beauty giving you awesome skin, your eye health, lowering cholesterol and therefore your heart health and can help with Stroke prevention. If I can avoid all of this, why would I not have them in my kitchen?! Also, Avocados are green food. And Naturally Green foods are known to be power foods to help reduce cancer and major health.
