The Powerful Papaya

A study by a University of Florida researcher and his colleagues in Japan has documented the papaya’s incredible effect against a variety of lab-grown tumors and cancers, such as cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreatic cancer.

Researches exposed 10 different types of cancer cells to an extract made from dried papaya leaves and then measured the effect it had after 24 hours. Papaya slowed the growth of tumors in all of the different cancer cells. Due to these findings, in the future, papaya extract could be used to treat conditions such as inflammation, autoimmune disease and maybe even some cancers. Until then, eat up!
