Pineapple Kills Cancer?

I tend to tell people to eat a lot of pineapple in general. You do have to be careful if you’re on prescribed meds, so always check with your medical professional before running out and consuming tons of pineapple. This said, I love pineapple as a go-to health booster for many reasons.

First, the stem of pineapple contains Bromelain, which has been proven in several studies to be effective against – and even kill cancer. Research published in the journal Planta Medica found that bromelain was superior to the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorauracil in treating cancer in an animal study. Researchers stated:”This antitumoral effect [of bromelain] was superior to that of 5-FU [5-fluorouracil], whose survival index was approximately 263 %, relative to the untreated control.”What makes this impact particularly impressive is that the bromelain worked without causing additional harm to the animals. The chemo drug 5-fluorauracil, on the other hand, has a relatively unsuccessful and dangerous track record despite being used for nearly 40 years.

And while this information is impression, pineapples offer people many more benefits. Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese. It is also a very good source of copper and a good source of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, folate, and pantothenic acid. Plus, it is naturally sweet and acts as an amazing alternative to sugar. Additionally, because of the fruit’s high concentration in vitamin C and manganese, pineapples possess the ability to improve respiratory health, cure coughs and colds, improve digestion, help you lose weight, strengthen bones, improve oral health, boost eye health, reduce inflammation, increase heart health, fight off infections and parasites, improve the immune system, and increase circulation. Now, who wouldn’t want to run out and buy it?!!

If you’re seeking to obtain better health, start with adding more fresh pineapple into your daily diet. And, of course, you can always contact me for a personalized health consultation to discuss your specific circumstances.
