Pomegranate prevents estrogen driven breast cancer

Many breast cancers are estrogen dependent Therefore, a class of drugs used to prevent estrogen from synthesizing aromatase are often used by mainstream doctors to reduce the estrogen sensitivity of breast tumors Unfortunately, these drugs, including Arimidex, Femara and Aromasin, can cause side effects such as hot flashes, severe joint pain, muscle pain, headache, fatigue, fractures and potential heart disease risks, the report, published on the official website of Mayo Clinic, said But the good news is that there are better natural alternatives to these drugs Researchers found pomegranate could prevent hormone dependent breast cancer and estrogen driven tumors Pomegranate contains phytochemicals called tannins that act like aromatase inhibitors The results of the study, published in the Journal of the American Cancer Research Association, are called cancer prevention research Since pomegranate can be used as a fruit for safe consumption, there are no side effects "Pomegranate inhibits estrogen production and prevents breast cancer cell proliferation and estrogen dependent tumor growth," said Dr Chen, lead investigator of one study Dr Gary Stoner, a professor of internal medicine at Ohio State University, expressed his opinion on the results of the study He believed that more experiments should be done in animals and humans to confirm the inhibitory effect of pomegranate on hormone dependent breast cancer growth However, he believes that "more pomegranate should be considered to prevent the development of breast cancer, and even other tissues and organs of cancer."
