Washington: Peaches could prevent breast cancer from spreading to other parts of the body according to Texas A and M AgriLife Research Research scientists. Natural ingredients present in peaches can stop the spread of the killer disease.
Researchers have shown that treatment with peach extract inhibit breast cancer metastasis in mice. Tests carried out on mice showed the disease could be halted.
After determining the dose necessary to see the effects in mice, it was calculated that for humans it would be equivalent to consuming two to three peaches per day.
Breast cancer is the most common disease for women.
The study has been published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.
