Eat pineapple not only helps cooling in summer, pineapple is also very rich in vitamin B1, B2, C, PP, Carotene, organic acids and minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus ... especially in pineapple contains bromelin-a type of enzymes helps protein hydrolysis into amino acid, has the effect in the gastrointestinal tract.
Medicine used to treat their pineapple bromelin diseases digestive disorders from the 1963. Recently it also proved to have the effect of reducing the spread of the cancer, dosage is 200-300 mg/kg body weight in combination with chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. In addition Bromelin increases the immune system, inhibits inflammatory processes, reducing edema and blood, helps heal scars.
Scientists at the Queensland Institute of medical research (uk) new CCS and CCZ substances have found in pineapple can help fight cancer. About the research hope the discovery could lead to construction of new anti-cancer drugs.
One of two molecules which are called CCS has the ability to stop the Ras protein, a component cause the defect had in about 30% of the forms of cancer. A molecule called CCZ capable of stimulating the body's immune system kill cancer cells.
Pineapple enzyme-rich capital and are often used to soften meat, wine and beer filtration in the skin. The research group has discovered water extracted from pineapple is also capable of healing, maybe activation of special immune cells at the same time preventing the activity of other harmful cells.
"CCS and CCZ can suppress metastatic ability of the cancer cells, such as cancer of the breast, lung, ovarian, colon and skin," research team member Tracey Mynott said, "the way of our activity completely different from any drug would present".
The research group is focusing learn the cause why this enzyme-rich fruit has powerful effects on biological material. If successful, the two molecules will represent completely new ways of treating the disease.=
