Cancer & The Helpfulness Of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

By Katie Onson


Cancer is a condition that varies, in severity, from one person to the next. While there are cases in which this can be cured with ease, which is fortunate to say the least, other cases show that more extreme measures will be needed. The way that this develops is through cancer cells, which is what I'd like to get into today. More specifically, though, I'd like to talk about how extra virgin olive oil may be incorporated in order to target these very cells.

According to Olive Oil Times, a study was shown that the product in question could be used in order to kill off cancer cells. A study was headed by Paul Breslin, a nutritional scientist, and a chemist by the name of Onica LeGendre. They were able to pinpoint a substance known as oleocanthal, a common ingredient that extra virgin olive oil enthusiasts should know about. For those who do not know much about it, authorities like Unaprol can offer greater insight.

If you're curious as to how oleocanthal plays into this matter, you should know that this ingredient has the ability to rupture cancerous cells. What happens afterwards is that the release of enzymes takes place, which is encapsulated by the degradation of those very cells. As you can see, the ingredients of this oil are more worthwhile as the maintenance of the immune system. This is only made better by the fact that oleocanthal works quickly, killing off cancer cells in a half hour or so.

Further, it seems as though oleocanthal can be utilized for the purpose of helping various species. While it's clear that this can have a positive influence on humans, Breslin reported that the utilization of this ingredient can also shrink tumors in mice. What this shows is that such a component has more than its fair share of advantages. It's just a matter of how well they are used, which is what this study has been able to cover in tremendous detail.

The biggest problem with cancer, as a whole, is that it's hard to discuss potential cures. There are none which exist, as of this moment, and to say that this is a concern would be putting it mildly. However, studies like this one regarding extra virgin olive oil have shown that there are ways to reduce risk, if not totally eliminate the problem. As long as studies are continually carried out, I am certain that we will see more positive results before long.
